If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It’s no secret you feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don’t you sometimes think it’s real?
But it’s only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Well now remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go right on baby and cry
Go on and cry
This song came out a decade before I was born. However I remember frequently seeing him perform it on tv during my teens & pre-teens. He was definitely ahead of his time for blue-eyed soul.
The late and great Johnnie Ray right this was the biggest record he ever made he was deaf in one ear. He made a big influence on me because I have polio .
Mr. Ray was parodied in the 1954 Woody Woodpecker short "Real Gone Woody."
"When your dreamboat sails away from you just sob! Sob! SOBBBBB!"
