can you imagine a time where you could sing a song like this:
Written by Laura Nyro
Recorded by The 5th Dimension
Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day
I was on your side Bill when you were losin'
I never scheme or lie Bill, there's been no foolin'
But kisses and love won't carry me till you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells
I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only
But kisses and love won't carry me til you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows
But Bill you're never gonna take those wedding vows
Oh, come on Bill
Oh, come on Bill
Come on and marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Please marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Marry me Bill
Unbelievable. A time where a woman could actually say something like this.
Nowadays you ask a guy if he'd like to go to the movies sometime and he'll be running like Freddy Kruger is chasing him, or the devil himself has come after him, because he just can't get himself to agree to such a strong committment.
Well, yes ... those were the days my friend ... I can hear another tune coming on.
