Holly, Buddy - That's What They Say Lyrics






There comes a time for ev'rybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for ev'rybody
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time would be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me

You just keep waiting
And love will come your way
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

There comes a time for ev'rybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for ev'rybody
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time would be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me

You just keep waiting
And love will come your way
That's what they tell me
That's what they say
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

Holly, Buddy That's What They Say Comments
  1. L.... C....

    epic song in 2020

  2. T.... B....

    Probably the worst overdubbing of any of his songs ,it is ruined by all the overdubs

  3. a.... m....

    simpler times, i truly miss those days, progress they say pity them. Anywho gone forever

  4. J.... M....

    This song hits the spot

  5. J.... M....

    Did buddy holly strugle with depression in his lifetime i can tell he's kinda sad i struggled with depresion . i hope to meet his wife soon Mrs Holly's had lots of trauma as i looked up things about her

  6. R.... ....

    One of my favorite songs by Buddy, for what I believe there is once made a Norman Petty remastered version also of this song made in the early sixties, I got it on a tapedeck somewhere.

  7. B.... S....

    Much prefer the raw version without the fake backing singers.

  8. T.... ....

    Good grief. What is THIS???

  9. r.... ....

    The overdubs killed this song man. Buddy doesn't need any help...!!

  10. Z.... ....

    Who disliked this?

  11. m.... &....

    This sucks and so does all the buddy holly songs with the fake sound put in after he died too bad- The originals are so much better

  12. B.... J....

    I agree this is inferior to the Apartment tape version and also very inferior to the 45RPM I once had (with "What to Do" on the flip-side). This version had what for my money is a guitar break by Tommy Allsup. Anybody help?

    B.... J....

    Nope this is an overdub by the Fireballs done in the early sixties, the same group that did the final version of "Peggy Sue got Married".

  13. M.... ....

    John Mueller 0:00-0:30

  14. G.... T....

    Macartney over dubbin ruins it !

    G.... T....

    Nothing to do with Paul Mac...It was Norman Petty.

  15. p.... a....

    There was a version before the picks with exceptionally good electric guitar riffs although not a brilliant production. This was also on " What to do" the flip side . This was done in the true mode of Buddy, probably played by Donald Arnone who was famous for the " Crying Waiting Hoping solo.The apartment tapes was some of Buddy,s best work.

  16. 3.... ....

    THE Pics ruining yet another good track.

  17. J.... S....

    Never heard this version with the backup singers before. Nice, but I like the 1959 version best.

  18. f.... ....

    why on earth did I have to sign in to access this video?

  19. W.... G....

    Ruined by the Picks overdub.

    W.... G....

    More like Pricks ;)

  20. w.... ....

    Compared to the original, this is an iferior version!

  21. a.... ....

    Thanks have this on vinyl , takes me back to my youth.

  22. P.... C....

    I often wonder would the Beatles have made it big if buddy and Richie had not been killed !

    P.... C....

    No way😉

  23. j.... b....

    This is a great overdubbed version of Buddy's apartment tapes. He's backed up by The Picks & The Fireballs.

  24. J.... L....

    I finally did get this karaoke track.
    and it is excellent..
    I sing this now in karaoke a lot..
    I have it on my karaoke disks
    A real rare karaoke track
    Hardly anyone has it because my friend
    produced it himself
    a homemade karaoke track
    and it is excellent..

  25. j.... l....

    Yes ! I do not find this song in the cd anthologies either. Truly that day (the day of the accident) was the day that innocence died in Rock music.

  26. M.... ....

    Awe for pity's sake folk, lay of the Bieber comparisons. It just makes you sound old and tired. This is about Buddy. Sit back and enjoy.

  27. R.... F....

    Justin who?

  28. 3.... ....

    Why mcartney let the Picks loose of Buddy's recordings is beyond me they have done
    absolutley sod all to enhance the original recordings.

  29. S.... ....

    Wow.,.. almost 40 years of Buddy fandom and I've NEVER heard , or even heard OF this song!!!

  30. R.... ....

    You're welcome! :)

  31. c.... ....

    Thanks for posting this Retrogurl73.

  32. w.... ....

    he dont need any back ups, his voice sounds beautiful the way it is, thats what you're saying arent you
    thank you! cheers to you too
    :)

  33. c.... ....

    Hi, it's really a shame that the Picks "legacy", a total of 9 songs on the Chirping Crickets lp, was not enough to satisfy their collective ego. If they had wanted to avoid the justifiable outrage and controversy, they should have recorded a tribute album of their own cover versions of Buddy's songs. By adding ill advised and poorly arranged backing vocals to Holly's original classics (even Peggy Sue!) many years later, they were asking for trouble. I'm sorry, but I question their motives.

  34. c.... ....

    Hi. Just to clarify, I do not refer to the instrumental overdub augmentation heard here done by the Fireballs in the early 60's. They are an acquired taste, but I don't hate them, and I know they were done to make the original bare bones recording more commercial. I refer to the totally unnecessary and pretentious backing vocals, little more that an ego exercise, added by the Picks in the mid 1980's. I do consider the original vocal and guitar demo by Buddy to be the best version by far. Cheers

  35. w.... ....

    i personally think it sounds great this way! buddy could'a done some stuff like this, its great

  36. w.... ....

    holy shit. this song..no words. buddy holly is a god.

  37. R.... ....

    @maximustubulus You're welcome!! :D I'm Glad you enjoy the lyrics :)
    A Buddy Holly song wouldn't be complete without his wonderful lyrics!
    I'm glad you also enjoyed the song!
    Thank You!! ^o^

  38. M.... G....

    Thanks for a wonderful upload, AND THANKS FOR INCLUDING THE LYRICS !!!

  39. r.... ....

    @TheSilvergold45 I have this song on karaoke if you're still interested. E-mail me and I'll send you the file.

  40. S.... ....

    @thlaylia The Picks were the original backup singers for Buddy and The Crickets. After hearing that Buddy planned to use The Picks' talents again, they reunited in the 80s and overdubbed some of Buddy's solo vocal works. These were released as the dying wish of Bill Pickering. Love it or hate it, have some respect for The Picks, as this was there way of paying tribute to Buddy, and a look at what could have been.

  41. T.... J....

    @charlyW34 Oh fuck, I hate the Picks >;(

  42. R.... ....

    @TheSilvergold45 That's GREATT! :) .. This is also one of my Favorite Buddy songs. :D I'M BUDDYS NUMBER ONE FAN!!!! :D Check out my channel if you want, to listen to more AMAZING Buddy tunes!

  43. J.... L....

    ONE OF BUDDY'S BEST SONGS..
    I SING KARAOKE AND THERE
    ARE 38 TOTAL SONGS
    ON KARAOKE BY BUDDY..
    I SING ALL OF THEM..

    THIS MARVELOUS SONG IS
    NOT ONE OF THE 38..
    THAT'S RIDICULOUS..

    NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW
    THIS SONG..
    THAT'S A SHAME
    BECAUSE THIS IS ONE
    OF HIS BEST SONGS..

    LONG LIVE BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'M A DIE HARD BUDDY HOLLY
    FAN FOREVER..

    HE WAS MARVELOUS..

    LOVE HIS MUSIC
    AND I'LL SING IT
    TILL I DIE..

  44. v.... ....

    Buddy was a master at writing love songs!!!

  45. c.... ....

    No offense to retrogurl73!

  46. c.... ....

    Please, if there was ever a genuine reason to click the dislike button, this and all the unwelcome, unauthorized and ham fisted Picks overdubs from the 80's would qualify. Very damaging to the Holly legacy. They sound extremely out of place, and the arrangements are just plain bad!

  47. g.... ....

    Nice but too much backing!!! I still prefer the original record I used to listend to 50+ years ago. Still, What a voice !!!He was also one of the first to introduce the Fender Strat to us here in the UK . Buddy, Jerry, Joe B and Sonny. "You "were" the ones".

  48. r.... ....

    omg this version is with the later Picks overdubs,awful!

  49. W.... ....

    Wow! Yes describes the song well, Norman Petty added the background from the simple 1:15 acoustic and Buddy Apartment tape version. There has never been and never will be a singer/songwriter like Buddy.
