Buddy Holly: NOT FADE AWAY Lyrics
I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
A-You’re gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love a-not fade away
Well, you know my will not fade away
My love a-bigger than a cadillac
I try to show it but you drive a-me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know a-just how I feel
A love for real not fade away
Instro
I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
A-You’re gonna give your love to me
A love to last a-more than one day
A love that’s love a-not fade away
A-love that’s love a-not fade away
