Lynch had many UK hit singles in the early 1960s, including the two top-tens "Up on the Roof" in December 1962 and "You Can Never Stop Me Loving You" in June 1963. In addition, he has written songs for others — notably Small Faces' #3 hit "Sha-La-La-La-Lee" with legendary American songwriter Mort Shuman.
His numerous TV appearances include roles in Celebrity Squares, Room at the Bottom and Curry and Chips as well as minor parts in Z-Cars, The Sweeney, Til Death Us Do Part and Treasure Hunt.
Known for charity work, Lynch has often played in charity football matches and Michael Parkinson's 'Celebrity Cricket' fundraisers.
Whilst on a coach with the Beatles (on tour with Helen Shapiro), Lynch reportedly offered to help them write a song, but quickly became frustrated and criticised their ability to compose music - see From Me to You. Years later he appeared on the cover of Wings 1973 album Band on the Run, along with other celebrities. He attended the funeral of Alan Ball on May 3rd , 2007.
In 2018, Lynch had a concert tour with Jimmy Tarbuck and Anita Harris, as well as appearing in ITV's Last Laugh in Vegas.
Movin' Away
Kenny Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel you moving away
I can feel you moving away
Away from me
Deep down inside of me
I can feel I'm losing you
I can feel I'm losing you
In every way
You're slipping away
You think I'm not right for you
But I'm gonna stay
I'm willing to fight for you
Deep in the heart of me
I can feel I'm losing you
I can feel you're moving away
Away from me
You're slipping away
Oh baby
I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away
You're moving away
You're slipping away from me, yeah
You're moving away from me, yeah
More every day
Where did I go wrong
To lose your love
Was it something I said
Or something I'd done
Oh baby
I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away
I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away
I've got the power to lead you
You know I have, oh yeah
The lyrics to Kenny Lynch's song "Movin' Away" are about a person who can feel their love interest slipping away from them. The singer can sense that their partner is becoming distant and that their love is fading away. The lyrics express the singer's confusion and concern about why this is happening, as they wonder where they went wrong. They plead with their partner to stay with them and express their willingness to fight for their relationship. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You're slipping away" to emphasize the feeling of their partner becoming more distant with each passing day.
The verses describe the singer's emotions and the sense of losing their partner, while the chorus is a plea for them to stay. The bridge contains a possible solution, as the singer claims to have the power to lead their partner through life and the love they need every night. However, the song ends on an uncertain note, with the singer still asking why their partner is moving away.
