Eddie Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll hear you promise to love and obey
Though you may forget me, you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again with a love that's new
But I shall wish again I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you wherever you go
And though we are parted, I want you to know
That if things go wrong, dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind
If things should go wrong, dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

On your wedding day
And I'll hear you promise
To love and obey
Though you may forget me
You're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder

'Cos I'll always love you
Wherever you go
And though we are parted

That if things go wrong, dear
And fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder

If things should go wrong, dear
And fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind

My lovely mam loved this song and sang it a lot in her later years. I often have it running through my mind now on walks when I think of her.
@bobanderika1
Eddy Fisher was #1 in the early fifties. Almost every one of his songs was a hit! He had a truly melodic, strong voice!
@leonardbresland4288
Unlike all others, his wonderful voice chimed like a bell
@mrmusiclover4178
He had a great voice and this is one of my favorites by him. I remember him in the early 50's, when I was 11 or 12.
@vin.handle
Eddie Fisher had a great voice. That is Sally Sweetland singing background. She lived to 103 and backed up singers like Perry Como as well.
@josephgraif2588
Thank you so much for identifying Sally Sweetland. It's a always a treat to learn something new in music.
@frankmartinez3020
Still surprises me to think of Carrie Fishers Dad as a pop singer of the early 50's. 😀😆 I wonder if she liked any of his songs ?
@Dlanorepmart
My Dad loved Eddie Fisher. I remember one summer day we were driving back home and this song came on the radio.
@marthaokeeffe61
My beautiful mam God Rest her soul 🙏🙏🙏 use to love singing this and she sang it so beautifully 😞😞😞
@susandrydenhenderson6234
Oh! I came here to comment the same. My lovely Mammy loved this song and used to sing it especially in her later years so that I learned it too and used to sing along. We used to like to sing on our long rambling. wondering exploring walks. I’d like to think that perhaps your mam and mine will sing this together in heaven.
