How Important Can It Be? Lyrics

How Important Can It Be
that I tasted other lips?
That was long before you came to me
with the wonder of your kiss
So the story got around
of na old romance and me
But it happened oh! so long ago

How Important Cant it Be?
Mine was a young and a foolish heart
seeking love at ev'ry turn
But I have grown so much wiser now
Even foolish hearts can learn
Let the past just fade away
Why get lost in yesterday?
The important thing is here and now
And our love is here to stay

Cover art for How Important Can It Be? lyrics by Joni James

It's nothing short of a romantic Day of Judgment... a person "coming clean" about their past affairs,but now wanting to be faithful.


It was Joni James' second major hit...and,legend has it (according to Rolling Stone Magazine),as soon as this song faded out on "American Bandstand", "Rock Around The Clock" was heard!

But this pre-rock gem will be around for all time...
