Thank you so much for sharing these songs. My mom listened to these songs in her younger days and now has issues with her memory due to a stroke. I wasn't able to find these songs on iTunes, so I'm so glad you have them posted. I played this song for her tonight and she sang along and took a trip down memory lane. Thank you, thank you!

Time Waits For No One
Words and music by Cliff Friend and Charlie Tobias
Introduced in the film "Shine on Harvest Moon."
Time waits for no one
It passes you by
It rolls on forever
Like the clouds in the sky
Time waits for no one
Goes on endlessly
It's just like a river
Flowing out to the sea
You'll find that love is like this
Each precious moment we miss
Will never ever return again
So don't let us throw one
Sweet moment away
Time waits for no one
Let's make love while we may

[@NegroJonesStrikesAgn]

People think it's weird I know this song. But it's a good song, I learned from Bugs Bunny.

My favourite from the Hilltoppers was' Only You're, better than the Platters, not by much.
