Diana - Paul Anka (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Diana (Paul Anka, 1957). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-07-20. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Diana," written by Paul Anka, was Anka's first entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart rising to the top position and remaining on the chart for 29 weeks (Whitburn, 2013) and landing at the no. 1 position on the UK charts as well (Kutner & Leigh, 2005). He was the first teenager to have a million selling single in the UK (songfacts, 2024). Anka, at 15 years old, wrote the song about his infatuation with his brother and sister's babysitter, Diana Ayoub, who was a number of years older; however, as Anka stated "She was a little out of my league . . . She really didn't want anything to do with me, which made it even worse" (songfacts, 2024). As an aside, "In 1997 only minutes before the accident which killed Princess Diana, Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 played a listener's request for 'Diana' [and then Queen's] 'Heaven For Everyone'. Psychic or what?" (Kutner & Leigh, 2005).

Lyrics:
I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I, we will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me?
Oh Diana, can't you see?
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Oh, my darling, oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh, don't you know I love you, love you so
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, hold me tight
And squeeze me baby with all your might
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Oh please, Diana
Oh please, Diana
