THAT'LL BE THE DAY (By Jerry Allison, Buddy Holly and Norman Petty, 1958. Sung by John. Featuring the Quarrynmen, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCArtney, Colin Hanton and John Duff Love).

That'll be the day, when you say goodbye, yes

that'll be the day, when you make me cry

oh you say you're gonna leave

you know it's a lie 'couse

that'll be the day when I die!

 

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'

all your hugs and kisses and your money too

you say you love me baby, until you tell me

maybe that some day well I'll be blue 'couse

 

That'll be the day, when you make me cry, yes

that'll be the day, when you say goodbye

oh you say you're gonna leave

you know it's a lie 'couse

that'll be the day when I die!

 

When Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart

so if we ever part and I leave you

you say you told me and you told me boldly

that someday well, I'll be through 'couse

 

That'll be the day, when you say goodbye, yes

that'll be the day, when you make me cry

oh you say you're gonna leave

you know it's a lie 'couse

that'll be the day when I die!

 

That'll be the day ooh

that'll be the day ooh

that'll be the day ooh

that'll be the day.
