08 - RADIO PLAYS FOREVER - The Wonders

(1967 Single — The Sound Of Becoming A Memory) (Soft radio static, then bright guitar and tambourine) Intro And now… another song for the summer… (Guitar riff begins) Verse 1 Driving slowly past the shore Hearing songs we knew before Every station late at night Still brings back your eyes Neon shining through the rain Nothing ever stays the same But somewhere underneath the noise I still hear your voice Pre-Chorus Some things fade away with time Some keep burning in your mind Chorus Radio plays forever Long after the moment’s gone Every little word we sang Still keeps hanging on Radio plays forever Spinning through the dark Keeping old summers alive Inside somebody’s heart Verse 2 Movie signs and parking lights Teenage dreams on summer nights All the nights we thought would stay Now feel so far away Photographs begin to fade But melodies remain the same And somewhere drifting through the air A part of us is still there Pre-Chorus Maybe people disappear But songs stay floating through the years Chorus Radio plays forever Long after the moment’s gone Every little word we sang Still keeps hanging on Radio plays forever Spinning through the dark Keeping old summers alive Inside somebody’s heart Bridge (layered harmonies) Ooooh… Can you hear it calling now… Ooooh… Somewhere out beyond the crowd… Instrumental Break (Bright melodic guitar with soft organ underneath) Final Chorus Radio plays forever Even when the lights grow dim Every little memory Still comes drifting in Radio plays forever Turning through the night Keeping broken hearts and dreams Somehow still alive Outro (soft harmonies with fading radio static) Radio plays forever… Radio plays forever…
