Little Angel
Eddie Cochran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in my heart there's a fear
And in my eyes you'll find a tear
I'm scared that I'm losing you
That's why I cry
If I should lose you, little angel, I'd die
Oh, little angel, I'd die
Oh-oh, I had a dream and you were gone
Without your love, I was alone
So don't ever leave me and don't say goodbye
If I should lose you, little angel, I'd die
Oh, little angel, I'd die
Deep in my heart, I have to know
Your love is true, don't ever go
So tell me I'm crazy to worry 'bout you




Tell me that your love, little angel, is true
Oh, that your love is true

I do and did like Elvis Presley very much but in total Eddie Cochran had even more talent and on the same time there voices did like more op less the same for many people who hear Eddie's vocal voice for the frist time than many people think is that Elvis .

Eddie wrote 176 ssong by himself - he played Bass - ritme-latin-lead gitar- drums - piano - Ukelele .
Played in 4 moves and there were planned two more
On his 16th he was already a professional musican and became only 21 years old dead by car accident in Chippenham on his way to London airport.
There is so much more to tell about his humor his multitalent and the very nice person he was Anyhow I do neer fotget him and his misic.

He played country music - latin music - blues - instrumental music - jazz music and on his age he played songs of Frank Sinatra- Ray Charles and the fantastic LP Singing to my baby with The Herman Mann Orchestra and chorus.

None else did or could do this also almost everyone from 1955 up to 1960 from the Rock and Roll time played with him.

He played als gitar in Speedy Consales from Path Boone and he was fameus for his humor .

In 1960 on his tour with Gene Vincent - Adam Faith - Marty Wild - Joe Brown he has made the music for gitar players in Europa awake no one else has played gitar like Eddie Cochran,

But I do have to say that I like Elvis the same but Eddie was more talented but died on the time that Elvis started when he was 21.
