William Wycherley (17 April 1940 – 28 January 1983), better known by his stage name Billy Fury, was an 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.
A
thousand stars in the skies
Like the stars in your eyes
They say to me
That there'll never be
No other love
Like yours for me
A thousand stars in the skies
Make me realize
You are the one love
That I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
(You're mine, you're mine once more)
Each night I count
The stars in the skies
Hoping that you aren't telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby
Let me hold you in my arms
A thousand stars in the skies
Make me realize
You are the one love
That I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
(You're mine, you're mine once more)
[Spoken]
Each night I count
The stars in the skies
Hoping that you're not telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby
Let me hold you in my arms
A thousand stars in the skies
Make me realize
You are the one love
That I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
