Memories of El Monte




I'm all alone
Feeling so blue
Thinking about you
And the love we once knew
And each time I do
It brings back those memories
Of El Monte

Remember the dance
I held you so tight
The Satins were singing
In the still of the night
You gave me your heart
And your love undying
Now I'm alone . . .
I'm sitting here crying

If only they have
Those dances again
I'd know where to find you
And all my old friends
The Shields would sing . . ."You cheated. You lied . . ."
And the Heartbeats . . ."You're a thousand miles away . . ."
And the Medallions with "The Letter" and . . ."Sweet words of his mortality . . ."
Marvin and Johnny with . . ."Cherry Pie . . ."
And then, Tony Allen with . . ."Night owl . . ."
And I, Cleve Duncan, along with the Penguins will sing . . .
"Earth Angel Earth Angel Will you be mine?"
At El Monte

If I could go back
To those days of the past
I'd show you a love . . .
A love that would last
Oh, I remember
Those wonderful dances
In El Monte
In El Monte
"Earth angel Earth Angel Will you be mine?"
At El Monte
