Music - Cilla Of The ‘60s Poem by Paul Warren

As we get older those as growing we knew
Slowly pass away from their lives that are through
Cilla Black was a Scouse girl from Liverpool
Who knew the Beatles as part of the Mersey Beat school
She worked at the Cavern and sang a song
Like ‘Anyone Who Had a Heart’ to sing along
When she sang ‘You’re My World’ the plea made
Was for me one that she made as no charade
When ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ by the Righteous Brothers was a hit
Her version was number two to their number one in Britain’s chart fit
The Long and Winding Road when sung by Miss Black
McCartney said was the way it was meant to be sung back
We remember ‘Alfie’, ‘A Fool Am I’ and ‘What Good Am I? ’
Seems Something Tells Me (Something’s Gonna Happen Tonight) to get by
So she has gone to John and George in their Heavenly band
To ‘Step inside love’ again a song that was grand!
