One Story, Four Perspectives, Four Musical Styles from the Late 1950s to the Early 1960s

On a summer day at the beach, a young love begins when a brave boy approaches an inexperienced girl wearing a blue ribbon in her hair, while a shy admirer watches from a distance, longing to do what he cannot bring himself to do, and the girl’s older brother finally steps in to make it unmistakably clear that the boy must respect her feelings, protect her, and bring her safely home.

"I Wish I Were That Boy" tells of a shy admirer who watches the girl walking with another boy and longs to have the same courage to confess his feelings to her.

"Blue Ribbon by the Sea" (1960s girlgroup, beach-pop, ballad) tells the story from the young girl’s perspective as she experiences overwhelming happiness for the first time when a boy approaches her at the beach and her familiar world suddenly feels completely new.

[Intro]
Doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah.

[Verse 1]
I brought a note I meant to give,
With every word I dared to write.
She wore her blue bow by the stand,
And held her sandals in her hand.

I saw that boy walk up so free,
He smiled and spoke so easily.
She laughed and turned to walk with him,
While I stayed where the shade was dim.

[Chorus]
I wish I was that boy tonight,
The one who makes her eyes look bright.
I’d take her hand and walk away,
And tell her what I cannot say.

[Verse 2]
They shared a cherry soda slow,
She turned her blue bow to and fro.
He asked her to the dance at eight,
She smiled and said she would not wait.

He talked as though the words came free,
The words that never come to me.
I watched them walk beside the foam,
And wished that I could take her home.

[Chorus]
I wish I was that boy tonight,
The one who makes her eyes look bright.
I’d take her hand and walk away,
And tell her what I cannot say.

[Bridge]
I cannot blame that boy at all,
He only had the nerve to call.
I wish I had his easy way,
To tell her what I cannot say.

[Final Chorus]
I wish I was that boy tonight,
The one who makes her eyes look bright.
I’d take her hand beside the sea,
And tell her what she means to me.

[Outro]
The note is still inside my coat,
Her name is written plain.
Maybe tomorrow by the gate,
I’ll find the nerve to say her name.

Doo-wah, doo-wah,
Maybe tomorrow.
