Lyrics

If I wait for just a second more,
I know I'll forget what I came here for,
My head was so full of things to say,
But as I open my lips all my words slip away
and anyway,
I can't believe you want to turn the page,
And move your life onto another stage,
You can change the chapter you can change the book,
But the story remains the same if you'd take a look.

[Chorus]

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

Perhaps if I held you I could win again,
I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes I always recognise,
Would tell me everything is gonna be fine,
You're gonna be mine
for a long time...

[Chorus]

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be, just another page in your history.

57 years old....this still gives me goosebumps. Quite possibly the best female voice I've ever heard. Whose still listening in 2024.

[miriamk]

Long before Adele and Duffy, there was Alison Moyet...What powerful vocals! What a beautiful voice!

[waltersijka]

Vince Clarke is a musical immortal, where as Alison Moyet's voice is so underrated its criminal

[karenkasulke]

Absolutely one of the most underrated female singers ever!

[ancayvettegradinariu]

In communist Romania, a Yazoo tape was passed from one teen to another like a magical artifact. And it was magic: we felt that, despite of the Iron Curtain and Cold War and dictatorship, we were dancing in synch with the western youth. The parties were great, so was the music. We felt connected and part of a vibrant world. Music made us happy.

[DenMore]

Her voice!!!! She is without a doubt one of the best singers from the 80's

[bluecat]

Alison's voice is so underrated. I'm 64 now and this takes me back to the 80s!❤

[pjbradford]

I'm amazed how many great groups Vince Clarke was a part of. Depeche Mode, Erasure and Yazoo. Everything he touched was gold.

[elicastelli]

Vince Clarke gets overlooked as Alison's voice was so unique. Every hit had a killer intro and synth hooks all he way through....

[UlissesDuarteZeitune]

I'm proud and thankful for being a teenager in the 1980's.

[liammccarron]

Jesus! I was 63 in December. This only seems like yesterday. 40 years gone in the blink of a song.

[ronr]

Alison is fantastic, but lets give Vince Clark his due...one of the greatest song-writers of his generation. Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure! What a legacy.

[outoforbit]

Alison has an incredible voice, instantly recognisable, she's pure authentic in her talent.

[solaris]

I remember walking down Oxford St and just glancing into a doorway….there she was, Alison Moyet ❤…. I did a double take with a shocked smile on my face. I got a a beautiful coy smile back. I’ll never forget that moment.

[scoops]

Possibly one of the best synth tracks ever, this is such a multilayered masterpiece, bravo.

[terencemeikle]

Alison is a singer whose very first note has your heart leaping and the hairs on the back of your neck standing up. A voice of commanding beauty. ❤

[garymurray]

It was the fusion of Alison's warm bluesy soulful voice against Vince's icy cold synth melodies that made Yazoo unique and Unforgettable.

[thebruce]

When you listen to these songs in your 50s it's so much better. You really listen and it brings you back to the loves and times with your mates, some gone some still here 🥰

[garywinterbottom]

Tbh she puts many of todays female vocalists to shame the power and range she can achieve is incredible.

[antjemaier]

Thank GOD I was born in 1971 and therefore spent my teenage years between 1982 and 1989!!!!
