Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

No gigs this week, so today’s track is one of this week’s earworms. I remember this song was on a tape that my parents had when I was younger, so when it popped up on a Spotify playlist this week, I couldn’t help but sing along.

Edison Lighthouse: Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)

She ain’t got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she’s crazy
And her life’s a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There’s something about her hand holding mine
It’s a feeling that’s fine
And I just gotta say, hey
She’s really got a magical spell
And it’s working so well
That I can’t get away

I’m a lucky fella
And I’ve just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There’s something about her hand holding mine
It’s a feeling that’s fine
And I just gotta say, hey
She’s really got a magical spell
And it’s working so well
That I can’t get away

I’m a lucky fella
And I’ve just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

It keeps growing every place she’s been (oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes)
And nobody knows like me
If you’ve met her, you’ll never forget her (love grows where my Rosemary goes)
And nobody knows like me
Better believe it when you’ve seen it (love grows where my Rosemary goes)
Nobody knows like me

Songwriters: John Barry Mason / Tony Macaulay
