One Boy

After lunch today, Rafael went inside our room and lied down the bed.  It was an uncommon scene because most of the time Rafael would still be watching cartoons in that time of the day and will refuse when asked to take his afternoon nap.  But this time he probably was too tired from school and felt sleepy already.  So of course, here's mommy to the rescue, carried him up and again found myself singing him my lullaby which was "One Boy".  I then remember the CD with that record.  Daddy bought it several years ago and was kept in our old cd rack. Tried looking for it but I found nothing. In dismay I just searched the song in you tube and found great videos.  It was only  today that I found out that this song was originally sang by Ann Margret on during the 50's then it was also performed by the Bye Bye Birdie in the musicals.  Click here and here to see the videos I found in you tube.

I first heard of the "One Boy" song when I was just 11 years old.  My daddy brought home some cds of collections of love songs and I fell in love the first time I heard of it.  I even remember day dreaming with my crush while listening to that CD when I was young.  When Rafael was born, I used this song as my lullaby and it always works because it brings him to sleep right away.  Here's the lyrics in case you want to enjoy the song as well :)

One Boy

One boy
One special boy
One boy to go with
And talk with
And walk with
Kim and Girls:
One boy
That's the way it should be
Yeah, yeah!
That's the way it should be
One boy
One certain boy
One boy to laugh with
To jump with
Have Coke with
One boy
Not two or three
Kim:
One day you'll find out
This is what life is all about
You'll need someone who
Is living just for you
Kim and Girls:
One boy
One steady boy
One boy to be with
Forever and ever
One boy
That's the way it should be
That's the way it should be
That's the way it should be

Rosie
When will he find out
This is what life is all about?
Will he ever see
I need him and he needs me?
One guy
One special guy
One guy to live for
To care for, be there for
One guy
That's the way it should be,
That's the way it should be

Ann Margret
