The Platters - Only You

The Platters singing "Only You", "Remember When" and "The Great Pretender" with an introduction by Mr. Allan Freed.

Lyrics:

Only you
can make oh this world seem right
Only you
can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
can thrill me like you do
and fill my heart with love for only you
Only you
can make this change in me
For it's true
you are my destiny
When you hold my hand, I understand
the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
my one and only you, only you
Only you
can make this change in me
For it's true
you are my destiny
When you hold my hand, i understand
the magic that you do do
You're my dream come true
my one my one my one and only you.

Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo)
My lips were so afraid to say, "I love you"
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo)
The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo), and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you (remember when).

Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
(Still around).

If you're not in tears after hearing "Only You", there's something wrong with you. And, yes, she's a vision of loveliness.

[scotta.milliken]

Even though I grow up in the 60's and 70's I love the 50's music .

[michaelmika]

One of my favorites as a child. Now I listen to the words much more. I'm only 80.

[daniela.kovalenko]

Only a few of us know one of the greatest loss of one of the most gifted Singers and still without comparison.

[eugen]

Pacat ca este atata ura si dusmanie in lume, uitam ca avem o viata scurta si nu ne vom revedea niciodata cu momentele fericite din trecutul nostru...sa ne unim intr-un singur glas indiferent de religia pe care o avem, rasa, culoarea pielii, de a promova iubirea si pacea... ascultand aceasta melodie am uitat de realitatea zilei de azi, amintindu-mi de anii trecuti cu toate zilele placute traite pana in prezent. Ce credeti, am dreptate?

[MrSecrets]

what a velvet tenor voice, Tony Williams was sheer magic.

[evamcason]

Remember When. His voice is just awesome, best voice I ever heard.

[yolandacastano]

Let me just say that I am 77 years old and I remember when my dad played this song on the radio in the car and he sang it along with the players singing it so now I am 77 years old and I have memories of my dad singing this song to me God Bless The Platters and hopefully one day they will come back or maybe replacement voices will come back that song just like them God bless you for playing the song for me on my phone❤😂💜💙💛❤🥰

[carolthornton]

[petertsikoe]

I'm just a young 70 however, my late brother-in-law, God bless his soul, used to take me to his parents for a dose of Great Pretender, and Massachusetts and Leaving on a jet plane, around 65, 66 thereabouts. How much I miss him. My father, who passed on in 62, when I was 8, loved Elvis' They'll be Peace in the valley instead.
