Merseybeats- Wishin' and hopin' (Lyrics)

[MelC54]

Nice twist on a classic....a man singing it to a woman. Didn't really care for the music, but I was raised on the Dusty Springfield version, so nothing is ever going to sound better. Liked the singing though.

Love it sung from the Man's viewpoint! All I ever heard was Dusty's. Great band!! Thanks for posting it!

Merseybeat tune has magic to pull together when times get tough.

Love Dusty's way of expression as well :)

One of the best merseysound groups. This song and "I think of you" are their best,....in my opinion.

takes me back to the days when we used to strip motor bike engines down on mothers kitchen table, clean the carb with petrol and re asemble all before she came home .

Yes, with engine oil on your fingers and eating lamb chops what a great taste.
