Ronald William Wycherley (17 April 1940 – 28 January 1983), better known by his stage name Billy Fury, was an internationally English singer from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s, and remained an active songwriter until the 1980s. Rheumatic fever, which he first contracted as a child, damaged his heart and ultimately contributed to his death. An early British rock and roll (and film) star, he equaled the Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s, and spent 332 weeks on the UK chart, without a chart-topping single or album.

AllMusic journalist Bruce Eder stated, "His mix of rough-hewn good looks and unassuming masculinity, coupled with an underlying vulnerability, all presented with a good voice and some serious musical talent, helped turn Fury into a major rock and roll star in short order". Others have suggested that Fury's rapid rise to prominence was due to his "Elvis Presley-influenced, hip-swivelling and at times highly suggestive stage act.

I don’t wanna be the one to say

i’m gonna miss ya.

But i will, i will.

I don’t wanna say

i’m gonna cry

my eyes out baby.

But i will, i will.

I’m not ashamed

for you to know

how much i really

love you so cause

it was such a thrill.

And just remember

when your gone they’ll

be that someone sad

who loves you still

you will look at him

and see me smiling back at you.

I know you will you will.

You will find yourself repeating

things we used to do.

I just know you will, you will.

Don’t wonder if you wanna

come back just come running

home to me and let me feel the thrill.

Cause i’m the one that told you

i would love you dear

forever and i will, i will.

(i will) i will

(i will) i will
