Dearest Darling Lyrics by Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley (1958 Album)

0

[Intro]
Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling, aey ohh

[Verse 1]
Don't you know the Lord above
Created you just for me to love
Picked you out from all the rest
Because He knew, I loved you best

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Be mine, take my hand

I once had a heart so thrill and true
But now it's gone from me to you
Take care of it like I have done
For you have two hearts and I have none

[Chorus]
Dearest oh, oh, oh, oh, darling
Dearest darling
Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah
Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah
Darling, yeah yeah, darling, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
If I get to Heaven before you do
I'll try to make a hole and pull you through

[Chorus]
Whoa, dearest, dearest
Dearest, dearest, aah

[Verse 2]
If I go to Heaven and you not there
I'm going to write your name on the Heavenly stair
If you aren't there by Judgement Day
Then I know, baby, you went the wrong way

[Chorus]
Whoa, dearest, dearest
Whoa, dearest, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh sweet baby
O sweet baby
