Mark Dinning ~ Teen Angel & The World is Getting Smaller

Here're 2 songs I remember listening to in my teens. They're songs from my father's time which I enjoyed listening to. I didn't have much money (either that or was too stingy to spend my savings) to buy current pop music so listen to my dad's music. These are the slow sentimental rock n roll numbers.

Teen Angel ~ Mark Dinning ~ Lyrics
(Jean Surrey & Red Surrey)

[Intro]
Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh

[V1]
That fateful night the car was stalled
upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe
but you went running back

[Chorus]
Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love

[V2]
What was it you were looking for
that took your life that night
They said they found my high school ring
clutched in your fingers tight [Chorus]

[V3]
Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away.
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today [Chorus]

[Ending]
Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

Lyrics:

The World is Getting Smaller ~ Mark Dinning ~ Lyrics

[Chorus]
Dum Deedle I Dee Dum Deedle Ay
Where can you hide away?
Dum Deedle I Dee Dum Deedle Ay
Where can you hide away?

[Bridge 1]
The world is getting smaller
The population's grown
Where oh where can sweethearts go
When they wanna be alone

[V1]
Out to the park we went walking
To a quiet spot by the bay
We found some kids playing cowboy there
And they wouldn't go away
So no romance that day [Chorus]

[V2]
We thought that we had the answer
A drive-in movie we planned
But the only place we could find to park
Was next to the Pizza stand
And man that's a busy stand [Chorus]

[Bridge 2]
The world is getting smaller
And let me ask you this
Where oh where can sweethearts go
When they want to steal a kiss

[V3]
To lovers lane we went driving
We parked and what did I find
My own kid sister was in the car
That was parked right next to mine
And love withered on the vine [Chorus]

[Ending]
Where can you hide away?
Where can you hide away?
Where can you hide... (fade out)
