‘Frankie Lymon’
Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers – Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Cel mai cunoscut si mai de succes cantec al celor de la The Teenagers. In anii ‘80 Diana Ross a urcat de asemenea in clasamentele muzicale interpretand aceasta piesa.
O mare speranta la vremea respectiva, liderul grupului, Frankie Lymon, a reusit sa cucereasca simpatia publicului. Dupa 1957, la sfaturile producatorului George Goldner, a preferat cariera solo, fara a mai inregistra insa succesul din perioada The Teenagers. La numai 25 de ani a fost gasit mort in urma unei supradoze de heroina.
Det, doom-atta, doom-atta, doom-op, du-du.
Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-oo-wah, oo-wah.
Why do fools fall in love?
why do birds sing so gay,
And lovers await the break of day?
Why do they fall in love?
Why does the rain fall from above?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do they fall in love?
Love is a losing game.
And love can be a shame.
I know of a fool you see,
For that fool is me.
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why do birds sing so gay,
And lovers await the break of day?
Why do they fall in love?
Why does the rain fall from up above?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do they fall in love?
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?
Before I know, it will reach defeat!
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why do fools fall in love?

Frankie Lymon – Seabreaze
i can see
the lights
of a little town
where the stars shine bright
and the moon never drowns
where a man
can find home
and give all
he needs
its my home
and they call it
seabreeze
what a town to live in
what a place to see
i am sure
you’ll give in
to the joy and the lead
when its mine
its all mine
you wont want to leave
come with me and ill show you
seabreeze
if you don’t
believe what Ive said is true
you should come
with me
and ill show it to you
people sing their somgs
as they go along
to the seas
of a town called
seabreeze
