Just to be with you
There is nothing I wouldn`t do
Just to be with you.
I`d climb a mountain or sail the seas
I`d go a thousand miles upon my knees
I`d find a rainbow and take it from the sky
Chorus:
I`ll build a castle,like those of old,
And I would fill it with wealth untold,
I`d find the lion,compose a symphony,
I`ll count the stars in the galaxy.

1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963. The music of The Silent Generation. We were the ones who gave birth to Rock & Roll and Doo-Wop. The greatest music of the last 200 years. The Baby Boomers missed out on the creation of America's heart and soul.
@Dolo.1
I think it’s better to type 1955-1963 lol
