| All I Have to Do
Is Dream was the signature tune of K.V. and Stan when they, as
schoolboys in the late fifties, teamed up to challenge rival
singing groups in the V.I. and Kuala Lumpur. This is their 2004 rendition: [ Mp3 File size: 2.1 Mbytes; Play time: 2 min 59 secs ] Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream When I want you in my arms When I want you and all your charms Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream When I need you in the night And I need you to hold me tight Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine Anytime night or day Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away I need you so that I could die I love you so and that is why Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine Anytime night or day Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away I need you so that I could die I love you so and that is why Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream FADE Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream |
The Everly Brothers' Devoted
was another favourite of of Stan and K.V. in their V.I. days.
Recorded on separate continents, Stan harmonizes with K.V.
through the magic of technology: [ Mp3 File size: 2.5 Mbytes; Play time: 2 min 35 secs ] Darlin’ you can count on me Till the sun dries up the sea Until then I’ll always be devoted to you I’ll be yours through endless time I’ll adore your charms sublime Guess by now you know that I’m devoted to you I’ll never hurt you, I’ll never lie I’ll never be untrue I’ll never give you reason to cry I’d be unhappy if you were blue Through the years my love will grow Like a river it will flow It can’t die because I’m so devoted to you I’ll never hurt you, I’ll never lie I’ll never be untrue I’ll never give you reason to cry I’d be unhappy if you were blue Through the years my love will grow Like a river it will flow It can’t die because I’m so devoted to you |
Stan and K.V. met, wrote and sang
this together at Dingle, Ireland on Midsummer's Day, 2006: [ Mp3 File size: 4.3 Mbytes; Play time: 4 min 41 secs ] Faded dreams going through a phase, Suffering years of disgrace, My mind tells me to let things be, But my heart still fights the stormy seas. She left me at the altar, With a ring in my hand, Dreams, why did they falter? Bitter right till the end, Faded dreams renew my damaged soul, Tell me why she said “no”, Aching heart displaced and torn, Happiness still waits to be born. Lose the chains of anger, Get new dreams from the strand, Memories be a stranger, Hide the ring from my hand, Shattered dreams, golden ring, What should I do with it? Find another finger that fits, Wonder what tomorrow will bring? I will put the ring back in its case, Sign of sorrow replaced, I will search so cautiously, For someone to share her love with me. She’ll be there at the altar, With a ring in her hand, Dreams renewed never falter, She will make our life grand, With a ring in her hand. With my ring in her hand. |
