That's My Desire
Channels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To spend one night with you in our old rendezvous,
And reminisce with you that's my desire.
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe,
And dance 'till break of day that's my desire.
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine.
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go,
Cherie, I love you so, that's my desire.

This has to be my all-time favorite group. Watched them on stage several times.
Earl's voice was one of the all time best all the way to the last time I saw him.

Thank you Manny Mora, you have gone deep into the heart ❤️ of doo wop and mined some of its greatest treasures. These celestial harmonies fused with the blues, touch the soul in ways most music can not.
