" Not Fade Away " is a 1957 song credited to Buddy Holly (originally under his first and middle names, Charles Hardin) and Norman Petty (although Petty's co-writing credit is likely to have been a formality [4]) and first recorded by Holly and his band, the Crickets.
Not Fade Away Lyrics: I'm tell you how it's going to be / You're gonna give your love to me / I'm gonna love you night and day / Well, love is love and not fade away / Oh, well, love is love and not
Repeating “not fade away” raises the term to a command, a chant, an incantation. It gives it almost spiritual meaning, which is why the song continues to mean so much.
Love is love and not fade away And my love is bigger than a Cadillac I'll try to show it if you drive me back Your love for me has got to be real Before you'd have noticed how I feel Love real not fade away Well love real not fade away Yeah I wanna tell you how it's gonna be You're gonna give your love to me Love that lasts more than one day
