Song of the Day: Time After Time (6th January 2016)

For quite a while now, I have owned a wonderful little compilation CD of songs by the Cliff Adams Singers, entitled 'The Sing Something Simple Collection: Time After Time'.

Featuring nearly 30 songs, this BBC produced album lives up to its name, as the songs are simple, catchy, and pleasant. Today's Song of the Day is the eponymous 'Time After Time', which combines beautiful harmonies, lovely instrumental backing and an old-timey feel to create an easy listening atmosphere that will be broken only by you joining in with the singing as the mood strikes you.

The Cliff Addams Singers originally featured on the BBC Light Music programme in 1959, singing some of the songs that feature on the album I own. They made the charts several times in the 60s and 70s with their traditional instrument and pleasant vocal arrangements, often in medley format.

Unfortunately, the Cliff Addams Singers' version of Time After Time is not available on YouTube, however below is a selection of songs from the group, along with some conversation with the singers. A recording by Frank Sinatra, of the same song, but with more of a jazz style, also makes for great listening:

Lyrics:

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
Youll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Yes so lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you
