The Downbeats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Twas love at first sight
That night we kissed
That made my heart miss
Made my heart miss
We built a dreamboat
To keep our love afloat
Through an emotional tide
Emotional tide
The stars up in the sky
I saw them in your eyes
Oh darling, I love you so
I don't wanna let you go
We built a dreamboat
To keep our love afloat
I needed you by my side
Through an emotional tide
Emotional tide

Not many folk here in the UK know Doo wop, Even fewer love it. Ive collected this music for over forty years. Dammit, im in the wrong country, the best music ever made is Doo Wop.

I can't stay away from this one - as good as the genre gets in any country! "We built a dreamboat / to keep our love afloat. / I need you by my side / through an emotional time." True zen!

Great song but you have some of the lyrics wrong. 'I needed you by my side/ through an emotional tide'.
countrypaul
@bimbamjam - thanks! That's even better.

This is one of the best 'I never heard it before' authentic era doo wop ballads. A true gem. Thanks
