KC Groves, Carol Groves, Uncle Earl
I may never see them again
I may never see them again
I love to see the fall come around
All the colors there on the ground
I man never see them again
I may never hear them again
I may never hear them again
Put on my old grey winter coat
Sing the sad summer songs I wrote
I may never hear them again
I may never feel them again
I may never feel them again
Tuck me into a warm feather bed
Think of things I should?a said
I may never feel them again
I may never love them again
I may never love them again
Snow will cover the ground while we sleep
Spread it?s dark and coldness deep
I may never love them again
The lyrics of Larry Chance & the Earls's song "Never" depict the feelings of nostalgia and uncertainty towards the future. The singer is acknowledging the possibility that they may not get to experience several things again. In the first verse, the singer mentions that they might not see the colors of the fall and the ground again. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for the beauty of life and how it gradually fades away, leaving behind memories. The second verse conveys the thought that they may not hear their own songs again in a world that's constantly changing. The third verse talks about not being able to feel the warmth of a feather bed or say what they might have wanted to express before it's too late. The concluding verse lands on the most pessimistic note, saying that the singer may not love their loved ones again, and the future may be colder and darker.

I may never see them again
I fear that I may never have the chance to see those people again in my life
All the colors there on the ground
I love to experience the beauty of the fall season when the leaves turn into many hues and fall onto the ground
Put on my old grey winter coat
I get ready for winter by wearing my cozy, comfortable grey coat
Sing the sad summer songs I wrote
I express my emotions by singing the melancholic songs I wrote during the summer
I may never hear them again
I’m afraid that I may never hear the voices of my loved ones again in my life
Tuck me into a warm feather bed
I ask to be put to bed in a snug bed with down-filled covers
Think of things I should’a said
I regret not saying certain things and would like to have the chance to express myself now
I may never feel them again
I fear that I may never feel the touch of my loved ones again in my life
Spread it’s dark and coldness deep
Snow will deeply cover the ground and create a sense of darkness and coldness
Snow will cover the ground while we sleep
We will fall asleep, and the snow will eventually cover the ground during the winter season
I may never love them again
I worry that I may never be able to love my loved ones again in my life

No-no, never fall in love again, no-no
Never fall in love again, no-no (repeat)
(Oh-oh-oh)
I'll never, I'll never fall in love again
I lost my one and only girlfriend
I guess I'll never fall in love
No-no, never fall in love again, no-no
(No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no)
Never fall in love again, no-no
(No-no-no)
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never, I'll never see that searchin' smile
You were the judge, I lost the trial
I guess I'll never fall in love
No, no, no, no...
I'll never kiss your lips
(Lap-a-lada-lips, lap-a-lada-lips)
No, no, no, no...
I'll never touch your finger tips
(Tack-a-tada-tips, tack-a-tada-tips)
Here I stand, my heart's still doin' flips

This is a perfect song.
Except for the questionable "Lap-a-lada-lips, lap-a-lada-lips" and "Tack-a-tada-tips, tack-a-tada-tips" but whatever.
Chance's phrasing is operatic, and the way he rides the lyric and music up and down is masterful for someone most likely without vocal training.
He's still with us!

Nothing beats this great old music. Its timeless. Kids today don't know what they are missing.
Ella Leak
the soundtrack for teotfw is amazing! I love how they didn't chose newer, mainstream songs and they made such a good choice with songs!
Miguel Angel
una de las canciones mas geniales de la historia. un chisporreteo de genialidad.
Barbara
I appreciate your nice note. These songs really do bring back great memories. Larry Chance and the Earls still perform at doo wop shows in the New York area and still sound as great as ever.
Freddie Barrett

Makes me want to grab my husband and dance around the kitchen. Their voices are purely supreme and the "beat" is just perfect. Have yet to hear one of their songs that I have not liked.....Just WOW! Beautiul song. Thanks for posting.
