Toby Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, I remember when we were kids
We shared all the hurt and tears
No matter what the weather [What the weather, what the weather]
We were always together
Then we grew up and time went on
We became separated
When I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away
I came home from Spring vacation
Expected to find my Toby waiting
Called her on her private phone
She didn’t answer, something was wrong
I ran all the way to her house
Rang her bell
Her mother answered and told me
To come and sit a spell
I sat down to try to be prepared
For what she’d say
And what she said brought tears to my eyes
I couldn’t push away
Toby left on a cloudy
Rainy day
She went to sing with angels
Toby’s gone away
It was a sad day
Oh...ho...Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
It was a sad day
Oh...oh...when Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
We shared all the hurt and tears
No matter what the weather [What the weather, what the weather]
We were always together
Then we grew up and time went on
We became separated
My sweet Toby waited
I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away
Expected to find my Toby waiting
Called her on her private phone
She didn’t answer, something was wrong
Rang her bell
Her mother answered and told me
To come and sit a spell
For what she’d say
And what she said brought tears to my eyes
I couldn’t push away
Rainy day
She went to sing with angels
Toby’s gone away
Oh...ho...Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
Oh...oh...when Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Young love, loss of girlfriend at young age. A few good songs from the Chi-lites, ('Have You Seen Her', 'Homely Girl'), but I think this is just about their best. Eugene vocals suitable for tunes they recorded.
