Partridge Family, The - To Be Lovers Lyrics






Like a summer wind in the fall
Like a color book without a paper doll

This is what it's like
To be lovers
To be lovers when you're not in love

Like a drift of snow falling in June
Like a November night without an Autumn moon

This is what it's like
To be lovers
To be lovers when you're not in love

A sad old tree that's branches will not grow
A beautiful valley filled with sand

It's like a mockingbird with no song
Try to imagine the sun sleeping through dawn

This is what it's like
To be lovers
To be lovers when you're not in love

This is what it's like
To be lovers
To be lovers when you're not in love
[fade]

    Tom and Ron Bahler sang lead vocal on This song "To Be Lovers". David Cassidy vocals came in the middle of the song. One of my favorite!

  8. s.... ....

    If they had kept this formula and David hadn't sang for real this show wouldn't had made it one season!

    s.... ....

    studlygrish So true.

    s.... ....

    You don't know that for sure.

  9. J.... S....

    i never heard this one before is that really him singing ?

  10. S.... H....

    I love this song! Great performance, great lyrics and a great tv series. In a time when innocence was still to be found in the world and cherished!

  11. D.... A....

    This is a beautiful song whoever the lead singer is he has a gorgeous voice. I love how David Cuts in and sings his part. The partridges were such great actors, they really look like they are singing

  12. B.... M....

    Daivd Cassidy was the biggest hunk of the 70's

  13. F.... M....

    This is a very beautiful song I never get tired of listening to it and even singing with it the unknown vocalist did a great job and we even have David do a couple lines in it and then back to the unknown singer but still it's a beautiful song and I never get tired of hearing it

  14. M.... ....

    HEY I HAVE THE RECORD

  15. s.... c....

    If only todays hit music was as good as this.

  16. m.... ....

    Is it my imagination,or did Danny wink at Shirley,and she wasn't too pleased about him fooling around.

    m.... ....

    markmarky -haha, yes i saw that too.

    m.... ....

    He winks because the episode was about him and his thinking he was behind creating the song, when it was actually Kieth. Danny overheard Kieth playing it, while asleep.

  17. T.... N....

    Early in the first season of THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY, almost all of it is sung by an unknown studio singer; but at 1:12, David sings two lines of the bridge. That's it! It's said that this was his vocal test, to see if he could really hold up as the lead singer on the show. Well, he's wonderfully clear and vibrant, wiping away the tones of the nameless singer! And a young star was born...

    T.... N....

    OMG really?  I never knew that.  I always wondered why they only used his voice for only two lines in this song.  I can't believe they actually went that far to test him.  They couldn't just audition him once, they had to do all this extensive testing for them to realize he was a great singer?  LOL!  Just my opinion, the song only comes alive when Cassidy opens his mouth.

    T.... N....

    That is more that one it is a grtoup of singers listen to When julie comes around by the Cufflinks sounds like the same group

  18. a.... c....

    I am Amy Charron the daughter of Mark who wrote this sweet song. Thanks for the you tube. He wrote many great hits and was a great dad. Tragically he died in 1994 after a brutal mugging he survived from 1985. In a way I'm. glad he wasn't around to endure all I've been through. Google my fight for survival.

    a.... c....

    amy charron This is one of my favorite songs! Hats off to your Dad!

    a.... c....

    Bless your heart Amy. This is a lovely song. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤👍

    a.... c....

    amy charron so sorry for what you have endured x I wish you well and love the song xx

    a.... c....

    So sorry. This was my favorite Partidge Family song.

    a.... c....

    the song is so special and so beautiful.

  19. L.... ....

    David Cassidy had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen on a guy.  I wonder why he lip synchs to another voice and then for 5 seconds in the song they use his real voice.  So strange.

    L.... ....

    LuvTadnDixie, A lot of the album was done prior to his entry to this effort. "To be lovers" I have heard has been known as one of the show's bloopers. No disrespect was meant to anyone, it's still a great tune/show video.

    L.... ....

    even the people who do the show are/were confused. one of the dvd's "Explaines" this

    L.... ....

    Believe the producers didn’t know if David could sing well enough and they insured themselves with the unknown singer doing vocals.

    L.... ....

    i heard that there were alot of mistakes in season 1 & that one of him lip syncs to a song is one of them!

    L.... ....

    Supposedly the powers that be recorded his voice at a slower speed to sound higher when played at "normal" speed, so he would sound younger than his actual age. DC was 20, KP was late teens.

  20. L.... 4....
