Best of Gary Lewis & the Playboys lyrics

Everybody loves a clown, so why don’t you?

Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do.

They all laugh when they say me coming,

But you don’t laugh; you just go home running.

Everybody loves a clown, so why can’t you?

A clown has feelings too.

I joke around at a party when you are there.

GREEN GRASS
(R.Greenaway/R.Cook)
GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS - 1966
Green grass down my window, growin' that the wind blows
Yes it's springtime, golden sunshine
And we're glad my little love and I now the summer time is nite
Care free isn't caught full, dream away all the troubles
'Cause it's springtime golden sunshine

JILL
Gary Lewis & the Playboys

Jill, between you & me
I can see the gleam in your eyes
& I can hardly wait to see you, Jill
Just as if you were here
I can hear your voice softly call
But no, no Jill is here at all
My love is only a dream away
Jill is only a dream

All my life, I've done crazy things
Gonna find a bird that sings to me
La la you, la la la, ooo oooooo

Save Your Heart For Me

Walk along the lake with someone new
Have yourself a summer fling or two
But remember I'm in love with you and
Save your heart for me

When the summer moon is on the rise
And you're dancin' under starlit skies
Please don't let stars get in your eyes, just

Sealed With A Kiss

I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

Sure Gonna Miss Her

I never did too much to make her stay here
And words of love to her I'd never say
I guess I learned a lesson when she walked out to stay
But I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her every day

I don't suppose I ever said "I love you"

Who wants to buy this diamond ring?

She took it off her finger now, it doesn't mean a thing

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore

And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
So if you've got someone whose love is true

Let it shine for you

This stone is genuine like love should be

And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me

MY HEART'S SYMPHONY
Gary Lewis & The Playboys

When you told me that you loved me
And I thought I could tell that you did
My heart told me all was well
>From the deepest part of me
There came a melody
Complete with harmony
As my heart played for me a symphony

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

I remember all the times
You told me that you were mine
And I remember what it did to me

She's Just My Style

Ev'ry time I see her she don't even look my way
Maybe she will notice me but then what would I say?
I would say what's on my mind
But the words are hard to find
But I'm gonna try to tell her anyway
