To The Aisle:  The Five Satins

 

First a boy and a girl meet each other

Then they they sit down and talk for a while

In your heart, you'll want her for a lover

While each step draws you closer to the aisle.

 

In my opinion, a beautiful story of a courtship and marriage, set in a much simpler, kinder, gentler and more innocent time. A perfect example of a great doo-wop song.

"Don't Answer Me" - Alan Parsons Project

 

"If you believe in the power magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away remembering the past"
