Buddy Holly That'll be the Day Lyrics:
Well, that'll be the day,
When you say good-bye.
Ye-hess, that'll be the day,
When you make me cry-ii.
You say you're gonna leave,
You know it's a lie.
'Cause that'll be the da-ay-ay,
When I die.

Well, you gimme all your lovin',
And your t-urtle dovin'.
All your hugs and kisses,
And your money too.
We-ell-a, you know you love me, baby,
Still you tell me, "Maybe,
That someday, well, I'll be blue."

Well, that'll be the day,
When you say good-bye.
Ye-eh-hess, that'll be the day,
When you make me cry-ii.
You say you're gonna leave,
You know it's a lie.
'Cause that'll be the da-ay-ay,
When I die.

[Instrumental break.]

Well, that'll be the day,
When you say good-bye.
Ye-hess, that'll be the day,
When you make me cry-ii.
You say you're gonna leave,
You know it's a lie.
'Cause that'll be the da-ay-ay,
When I die.

Well, when Cupid shot his dart,
He shot it at your heart.
So, if we ever part,
Then I'll leave you!
You sit and hold me,
And you tell me boldly,
That someday, well, I'll be blue.

Well, that'll be the day,
When you say good-bye.

When - you - make - me - cry-ii.
You say you're gonna leave,
You know it's a lie.
'Cause that'll be the da-ay-ay,
When I die.

Well, that'll be the day, whoo-oo,
That'll be the day, whoo-oo,
That'll be the day, whoo-oo,
That'll be the day.


[THAT'LL BE THE DAY [1]
[Written by: Buddy Holly [2] Jerry Allison & Norman Petty]
[Performed by [3] : Buddy Holly & the Crickets [4] -1958]
[Appears on: The "Chirping" Crickets (Brunswick-LP)-1957 & (MCA
Expanded-CD)-2004 [4] , The Buddy Holly Story (Coral-LP)-1959, The Very Best
of Buddy Holly (MCA Int'l)-2004 The Music of Buddy Holly & the Crickets:
The Definitive Story-2005, The Essential Masters-2008 [5] , et al.]

[1] John Wayne would probably have been outraged had he known his
swaggering delivery of a memorable line from John Ford's classic movie,
The Searchers, inspired a pair of Lubbock, TX, boys to write a heathen
piece of rock & roll. Nevertheless, that's exactly how this song came into
being. After viewing the Western, the guitarist and his pal Jerry Allison
teamed to compose a song around the oft repeated phrase.
It was Holly's only No. 1 song.]

[2] In 1959, with a new and pregnant wife, Holly decided to earn some quick
money by signing on to play in the Winter Dance Party package tour of the
midwest. It was on that tour that Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "Big
Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash, on February 3, 1959.]

[3] When Buddy Holly & the Crickets broke through nationally in 1957, they
were marketed by Decca Records under two different subsidiaries, Brunswick
and Coral. Essentially there was no real musical distinction between the
two, except perhaps that the "Crickets" sides had more prominent backup
vocals. The Crickets themselves consisted of Bob Montgomery (guitars &
song-writing), Larry Welborn (upright base) and Jerry Allison (drums &
song-writing) for instrumentation, and the "Picks," as they were known,
doing vocal overdubs for 9 songs on The "Chirping Crickets" album. The
"Picks," John Pickering (tenor), Bill Pickering (tenor) and Bob Lapham
(baritone), were not billed separately until a 1986 compilation.
Unfortunately, the 1978 film, "The Buddy Holly Story," perpetuated myths
by showing the instrumental Crickets singing. The albums The "Chirping"
Crickets (1957) and the self-titled album, Buddy Holly (1958), were the
only new albums featuring Holly to be released during his lifetime. Every
subsequent album was an archival or posthumous collection.]
