On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you
The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
In Fats Domino's classic 1956 hit "Blueberry Hill," the singer reminisces about a time when he found happiness and love on a hill covered in blueberry plants. The lyrics describe how the moon stood still and how the wind played a sweet melody in the willow trees when the singer finally found his love on Blueberry Hill. The phrase "I found my thrill" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the joy and excitement that the singer felt when he was with his love.
However, the song also has a bittersweet tone. The lyrics suggest that the singer and his love have since gone their separate ways, and that the vows they made to each other were "never to be." Despite this, the memory of the special time they spent together on Blueberry Hill still lingers, and the singer acknowledges that his former love will always be a part of him.
"Blueberry Hill" has become one of the most iconic and beloved songs of the 1950s. It has been covered by countless artists over the years, from Elvis Presley to Led Zeppelin, and was even performed by Fats Domino himself in the 1956 film "The Girl Can't Help It." The song's catchy melody and nostalgic lyrics have helped it endure as a classic of early rock and roll.

A lot of people don't make
the connection between Fats
and the the man who started
the biggest dance craze in
modern history!
Chubby Checker.(he had the
hit, not Hank)
Get it?....
Chubby Checker,
Fats Domino.
Just another way you will
live forever Fats.
What a heart! What a man!
What a talent!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hope to be with you Fats...
THANKS
LOVE, EVERYBODY
