Del Shannon - The Answer To Everything Lyrics






Don't ask me a mountain of questions
When there is only one answer to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

Don't give me a million excuses
When I am waiting with my arms open wide
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

If there is someone else
Some other place
Who holds your heart
Tell me now, truthfully
Before we start

Don't act like you misunderstand me
When there is simply no mystery to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

  1. K.... B....

    Where can I get sheet music for this song?

  2. M.... M....

    This was one of the songs played at the Troc every Thursday night. Lights went down, and it was one of the last dances. Happy memories.

  3. K.... H....

    A really sad but beautiful song , Del had such a fantastic voice .

  4. J.... A....

    Is this song included in an album? Which one. I HAVE to have it!

  5. J.... B....

    He sang Runaway as i used to double my wife to her bus stop after school seen him in concent loved you mate and always will

  6. m.... h....

  7. S.... C....

    This was my mums wee party piece. RIP mum sorely missed. But great memories when i hear this song .💕💔💗

    S.... C....

    🍛❤️❤️❤️

  8. c.... ....

    Not heard this one before. Struck me that he sounds a lot like Paul Anka and I could imagine him singing it.

  9. R.... C....

    Reminds me when saw him in the Midlands Gordon - Lincs

  10. B.... I....

    B Side of So Long Baby. Could have been the A side.

  11. J.... R....

    Great song.
    Jackie

  12. D.... H....

    Shannos the best version by a longway who could follow this guys songs good all rounder another legend singin in the skys above rip

  14. o.... ....

    2.50 minutes of bliss

  15. G.... B....

    Well don dell brilliant song u sing it perfect great singing voice RIP dell . Ged Liverpool

    G.... B....

    Hello Ged, Do think MR ALEXANDER'S version is better? Ever see him in the pool yrs ago? Adored in Liverpool in the old days.

    G.... B....

    @STORMY TEMPEST hello margarat I think dell Shannon got a briiant singing voice but David alaxander sings it we'll to but prefer dells version think I seen David alaxander years ago on a club in a club called Allison's in litherland Liverpool

  16. R.... M....

    This should have been released as an A side. I lent my So Long Baby 45 to a friend. It never came back because his sister heard this song on the flip side and kept it. This has 734,000 hits. Few "flip sides" would ever get this much action unless they were a featured song on an LP.

  17. D.... ....

    R.I.P Nana & Grandad. What a beautiful song :) thanks for the upload!!

  18. m.... b....

    To me there is only one version. Dels. The perfect pop song, without a blemish. Should have been an A side. Down thru the years it has vintaged like wine. Bless for the melody and for the time that echoed the best in pop musical chimes.

    m.... b....

    michael ball I’ll second that :)

  19. D.... D....

    Used to play this for my girlfriend in 1961 I was in the The navy and the answer is married 56 years

  20. k.... r....

    Love you Georgiamae ❤

  21. B.... W....

    It's 42

  22. I.... D....

    What a great singer when others seemed to get all the limelight

  23. I.... C....

    Not many recent comments! Del has been in my life for over 50 years: he is my husband's favourite singer and his music has filled our lives.

  24. m.... ....

    Over a half a century old the song is, but still as fresh as a daisy in a world far removed and remote from the great days of rock and roll. Long live rock and roll. I thank the Lord I grew up to this stuff playing on a radiogram. Contemporary music has lost its way in a major fashion, and unfortunately seems forever the case.

  25. K.... M....

    Poignant lyrics, sung by one of the greatest singing artists of that time. Soul-rending.

  26. I.... D....

    I the lad was as good as any in the 1960s

  27. C.... O....

    i so love this song, because i have heard david alexander singing it....it is an amzing song

  28. I.... D....

    Dell sure has a lot of songs that you could play anything and at any event

  29. s.... g....

    the first guy I fell in love with used to sing this to me then he cheated broke my heart

  30. K.... C....

    Best👌🎶💯

  31. b.... c....

    Every time I hear this song it takes me bk to happy times in my life xx

  32. C.... D....

    king Del, my mates slag me, but now they're starting to listen born in ,66

  33. M.... M....

    The First Beatle song in America he was from north michigan? He opened for the Beatles on a English tour 1963.

  34. w.... w....

    Real shame that producers never allowed Del to play guitar though , as that was his main aim originally !
    Also , My wife Jenny and I , are both certain that we had a 45 with Del performing " Pretty brown eyes" ( That's when I see the blues , in your pretty brown eyes ) , but I can find no trace or record of that anywhere !! Anybody else remember that ?

    w.... w....

    Try Joe Dolan Medley on you tube

  35. I.... A....

    A legend he was great x

  36. J.... A....

  64. D.... L....

  65. r.... ....

    Sorry the late David Alexander nailed it.

  66. s.... b....

    wat a singer he was they need to bring this kind of music back. love it

  67. s.... b....

    wat a singer he was they need to bring this kind of music back. love it

  68. M.... C....

    the great del shannon

  69. g.... s....

    always my favourite,i believe this song ia known as the Benidorm anthem

  70. S.... ....

    Two different styles. David Alexander had a stronger voice than Shannon, no question, and excellent pitch control. His version is more dramatic than Shannon's and more commanding.  But Shannon had a tonal quality and manner of singing which, to my ear, is equally evocative with less flair.

  71. w.... b....

    its on my list as one of the greatest songs sung by one of the greatest singers a terrible loss

  72. G.... W....

    what a waste the spirit of the age committed suicide didn't realise how much we loved him

  73. J.... K....

    I would Dearly Love to sing this song to the One person that I do Truly Love in My own heart which I do still have for her

  74. k.... ....

    Beautiful love song.

  75. k.... ....

    Great song and it was only a B side.

  76. S.... P....

    It's so nostalgic listing to his great voice I grew up in the 60s that was the times of the best music rip delivery

  77. J.... N....

    always loved dels records since i first heard him way back.

  78. R.... E....

    I'm 71 now. My first memories of Del Shannon in 1961. Youth Club days, our record player booming out "Runaway". He wrote the song too. Going to the Youth Club on my Triumph Tiger Cub motorbike. Cost then £148 brand new.

  79. J.... A....

    missed by all
