PRIDE
Billy J. Kramer With Tha Dakotas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling (as the world)
Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling

Falling in love
As the world falls down (down)

As the world falls down

Makes no sense at all

The three albums that he released on Imperial in the States are full of such gems. This has always been one of the highlights, and the good news is that there is plenty more from where that came.

@SuperMikecarp

This was covered in Australia in 1965 by Ray Brown and the Whispers who had a big hit with it. Thanks to Youtube I'm finally hearing the original version.

@Rockage1960

This is a great track - by Bill & the Dakotas.

@fernald10

This is not in fact the original version. The first recording was by Brent Edwards. You can find it on You Tube.
