Align:    
  • Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin
  • Peaked at # 42 in 1961
  • One of the first hits produced by young Phil Spector,
  • who spent a then-unprecedented $14,000 recording this
  • song at New York's Bell Sound Studios in late June of 1961.
  • Gene Pitney reportedly had a cold while trying to sing this
  • song in the studio, forcing him to sing the final verses in falsetto.
  • Arranged by Alan Lauber, and featuring backing vocals by The Halos.
  • Single b/w "Mr. Moon, Mr. Cupid and I." Two decades later, British
  • singer/songwriter Sting did an homage to this song with the Police's
  • smash 1983 hit "Every Breath You Take."
  • OPENING SCAT
  • (dip-dip, dooba bop bop) (dip-dip, dooba bop bop)
  • I hardly ever thank the stars above
  • For sending me your very precious love
  • You never hear me say a prayer
  • Of thanks to someone 'way up there
  • Who gave me such a lucky *break*
  • Oh, no, darling
  • Only with ev'ry breath I take
  • And every time we have to be apart
  • I hardly ever find you in my heart
  • And when it comes to thinking of
  • The thought of losing all your love
  • I never worry how my heart would ache
  • Oh, no, darling
  • Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
  • Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
  • Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
  • And ev'ry single minute I'm *awake*
  • Oh, no, darling
  • Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
  • Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
  • Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
  • And ev'ry single minute I'm awake
  • Oh-aah, ev'ry little breath I take
  • Ev'ry little step I *make*
  • Ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, ah
  • Ah, ah, ah, ev'ry breath I take
  • (dip-dip, dooba bop bop) (dip-dip, dooba bop bop)'s to end
