Shirley
Music written by Alvin Leroy Homes, and words by Al Stillman.
Released 1966 on the album I’ve Got A Song For You and on a single. The song is available digitally remastered on the CD collection Bassey – The EMI/UA Years.
This song was specially written for Shirley Bassey, and a firm favourite in her live stage performances over many years. The same composers Stillman and Homes also wrote the album title song “I’ve Got A Song For You” for Shirley.
Lyrics
Shirley doesn’t feel too happy
Shirley doesn’t feel to gay
Something has been worrying Shirley
For many a lonely day
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
‘Cause someone doesn’t love Shirley
The way that she loves him
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
‘Cause someone doesn’t love Shirley
The way that she loves him
