Old School Songs (Really old, old school)

Anonymous
Normally during our commute to school, my teens like to listen to the contemporary pop. I go along to get along. This morning, I decided I wanted to listen to my Sirius XM 60s and 70s old school music. Frankie Valli’s ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ came on the radio.

You serious old schoolers out there know these songs and their beautiful lyrics. I looked in the rear view mirror and see my teen girl in tears. Long story short, she has a school girl crush on a boy, and the lyrics were the catalyst that brought out her feelings. One has to be made out of stone not feel something when you hear a song that says can’t take my eyes off you, you're just too good to be true. Sigh and clutch the heart……..

I'm no prude, not by a long shot even though I'm an older mom. My kids cringe when I dance and sing to Call Me Maybe or Swagger Jagger. Yep, I know all the words.

So, where are today’s lyrics like some of the fabulous old school songs? I mean older old school. The lyrics that touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes over some one you like/love.

Nice song but no comparison to Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You. No blame game in that song. It would be nice to really hear Bon Jovi's lyrics without the music overpowering a nice song.

Very plain and simple lyrics but oh so effective. I can't think of any girl, boy, woman, man who wouldn't want someone to feel that way about them.

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Adele has definitely cornered the market on modern-day tear-jerkers, IMO.
