Never be anyone else but you - early Ricky Nelson (cover)

A tribute to the young Ricky Nelson. Cover version.
Words and music by Baker Knight, who also wrote many of Ricky's other hits like Lonesome Town, I Got A Feeling, Sweeter Than You, and also The Wonder Of You for Ray Peterson and later covered by Elvis.

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out to be my very own
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together, I wonder if you miss me
Cos I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
Mmm mmm mmm mmm....

This is a most fitting tribute to Ricky Nelson and beautifully done, I might add. I had forgotten some of the facts that you have stated. Much research and very well combined with the photos.His music of course was always the best. Thank you so much for sharing & God bless. I lost all of my Ricky Nelson records the last time I moved, someone needed them more I guess. Anyway this is a real treat, sort of like a banana split when you are dieting. Love You.

I have always loved Ricky Nelson, it seems like you liked his music, his voice also. This was my all time favorit song that Ricky sang. You did a very nice job on his song, and a very good tribute to his music and life.
