"CLOSER TO YOU"

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
Your my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
Your my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm out on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
Your my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

March 9, 1966

Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, March 9, 1966: On their way to Vietnam, where they were to spend 15 days performing for the troops, singer-actress Ann-Margret and her band got a closeup look at a B-52 bomber on an Andersen AFB runway. From left to right are Charles Day, Ann-Margret, Johnny Rivers and Mickey Jones. As they were visiting, the entertainers watched as a B-52 returning from a mission over Vietnam made a successful landing in spite of a faulty right rear landing gear.
