The Story of My Life
Michael Holliday Lyrics
Someday I'm goin' to write
The story of my life
I'll tell about the night we met
And how my heart can't forget
The way you smiled at me
I like'd the world to know
The story of my life
The moment when your lips met mine
And that first exciting time
I held you close to me
The sorrow in our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
An' later on, the joy of makin' up
Never, never more to part
There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end with you
The sorrow in our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
An' later on, the joy of makin' up
Never, never more to part
There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end
Can start and end
Can start and end with you

This record has stayed with me all my life and I'm 83 now.. I was devastated when he died . In those days music was music! we all knew the words and many enjoyed singing along with the artists . Not much chance that this can happen in the future. Weren't we so lucky!

Recently found this record after my dad passed away he would have been about 16 in 1956 had wrote his name on the record what a find. We will listen to this together 1day R.I.P. DAD 😢
Philip Croft
People wrote their names on the records, because they often took a selection of favourites to party's, I had a few nicked or damaged, that couldn't be replaced
Anthony Royka
God bless your father! And you and your family and thank you for sharing this memory.
