All of my love, all of my kissin'
You don't know what you've been a missin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy
I want the world to see that you were meant for me

All of my life I've been a waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy
I want the world to see that you were meant for me

Stars appear and shadows fallin'
You can hear my heart callin'
A little bit of lovin' makes everything right
I'm gonna see my baby tonight

All of my life I've been a waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy
I want the world to see that you were meant for me

Stars appear and shadows fallin'
You can hear my heart callin'
A little bit of lovin' makes everything right
I'm gonna see my baby tonight

All of my life I've been a waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy
I want the world to see that you were meant for me

Stars appear and shadows fallin'
You can hear my heart callin'
A little bit of lovin' makes everything right
I'm gonna see my baby tonight

All of my life I've been a waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy
I want the world to see that you were meant for me

Wonderful Wanda does a classic rocker 😉

@jussix48

I must add that simply said I love Wanda J. and her honest way of expressing herself by strong heartbeat and with true, deep emotions, without any shame...

@jussix48

I heard this for the first time in my life just now, what a top cover of a top song! Wanda Jackson is a top female rockabilly and rockn'roll singer, and here is again this woman at her very best in singing and covering a wonderful Buddy Holly song...! What a talent we have in this country origin artist also in the rockn'roll genré...!
