[Verse 1]
I got a gal who’s always late
Anytime we have a date
But I love her
Yes I love her
I had a man
He was a good man
That is, you see, what I mean is
I thought he was a good man
Do it again, do it again
Do, do, do, do
Song lyrics to Time Will Tell, Written by Eddie Cherkose and Jacques Press. Sung by Connie Haines with Freddie Rich and His Orchestra in “A Wave, a WAC and a Marine“, as performed by her on The Abbott and Costello Radio Program episode, “Date with Connie Haines“
Time Will Tell
Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don’t count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble
Oh Happy Day (1952) is not the famous Gospel song. It’s the story of a young man in love – one of the first tunes showing the power of teenagers’ tastes in the music industry.
The song was originally recorded — and copyrighted — by Don Howard, a high school student who had learned the song secondhand, and modified it. The song’s originator, Nancy Binns Reed, heard his version of the song, and within weeks of its release sued to claim songwriter credit. Reed and Howard eventually settled, with each receiving co-writer credits
