Was There a Call for Me
Bobby Darin Lyrics
Was there a call for me
I had to talk to someone
Waiting for days is driving me crazy
Was there a call for me
When lovers disagree
All of your dreams come undone
I am not denying, it got me crying
Was there a call for me
My two arms long to hold
And thanks to you my story is told
By the way, once again I'm saying, "Was there a call for me"
Unfriendly clouds give warning
Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a call from me
Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a cold for me
Filled with the mist of tears I've resist
Tell me, was there a call for me

Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were there son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

This little known gem has stayed with me for decades. I've been hoping someone would post it. Thanks!

This is the B side to Mack the Knife. I got the record home, played this side once and never played Mack the Knife again.
This and Red Sails in the Sunset are my favorites from Bobby.
