Holliday Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The story of my life
I'll tell about the night we met
And how my heart can't forget
The way you smiled at me
I like'd the world to know
The story of my life
And that first exciting time
I held you close to me
The sorrow in our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
An' later on, the joy of makin' up
Never, never more to part
There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end with you
The sorrow in our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
An' later on, the joy of makin' up
Never, never more to part
There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end
Can start and end
Can start and end with you

Someday I'm goin' to write
At some point in the future, I plan to pen down
The story of my life
My autobiography that entails everything about me
I'll tell about the night we met
I will recount the evening when we were first introduced
And how my heart can't forget
And describe how my heart cannot erase that memory
The way you smiled at me
That moment when you flashed that charming smile at me
I'd like the world to know
I want the entire universe to be aware of
The moment when your lips met mine
That specific instant when our lips touched
And that first exciting time
And that initial exhilarating feeling
I held you close to me
When I embraced you tightly
The sorrow in our love was breakin' up
The pang in our relationship when it was falling apart
The mem'ry of a broken heart
The long-lasting memento of the heartbreak that we faced
An' later on, the joy of makin' up
And after that, the bliss of reconciling
Never, never more to part
We will never be separated again
There's one thing left to do
There is still one more task that I need to accomplish
Before my story's through
Before I conclude my story
I've got to take you for my wife
I need to marry you
So the story of my life
Thus, my autobiographical tale
Can start and end with you
Will have its beginning and conclusion centered around you
Can start and end
Will commence and terminate
Can start and end with you
With you being the pivotal character

This record has stayed with me all my life and I'm 83 now.. I was devastated when he died . In those days music was music! we all knew the words and many enjoyed singing along with the artists . Not much chance that this can happen in the future. Weren't we so lucky!

Lovely song. I first heard it in 1958 on the car radio going to Highbury to watch my beloved Arsenal play Blackpool who unfortunately won 3-2 with Stanley Matthews giving a masterclass. But this never spoilt my liking for Michael's tune and ever since, I've associated it with The Gunners !! such a simple piece but then they're often the best.

Marjorie, it is my Mother's favourite song :) She's 88 now... She introduced me to this song in my early years, makes me feel young again (I'm 47 myself now!)
And don't be so sure re: the future, history has a habit of repeating :)... despite all the raucous noise there are still some decent songs being written now :) God bless

Hi Majorie, my Mum was still playing this when I was about 6 so around 1962. My Ol'Dad threatened to punch Michael in the chops if my Mum didn't stop "running around with him"!
