I'M CONFESSIN' THAT I LOVE YOU TELL ME DO YOU LOVE ME TOO
I'M CONFESSIN' THAT I NEED YOU HONEST I DO
NEED YOU EVERY MOMENT
IN YOUR EYES I READ SUCH STRANGE THINGS
MUST YOUR LIPS DENY THEY'RE TRUE
LEAVING ME BLUE
I'M AFRAID SOME DAY YOU'LL LEAVE ME
SAYING CAN'T WE STILL BE FRIENDS
IF YOU DO YOU KNOW YOU'LL GRIEVE ME
FOR ALL IN LIFE ON YOU DEPENDS
AM I GUESSING THAT YOU REALLY LOVE ME
DREAMING DREAMS OF YOU IN VAIN
I'M CONFESSIN' THAT I LOVE YOU
OVER AGAIN.

Mr Ifield had a genius, along with Norrie Paramor, for updating an old standard, while still giving it the kind of complete respect that left its original fans pleased with the result.
Jerry Lee did the same for Hank Williams' songs; and Bobby Darin for everything.
