The Platters occupied a special place in the era of doo-wop and R&B, known for harmonies that touched the hearts of millions.

“Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo) I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo)
My lips were so afraid to say ‘I love you’
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo)
The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes”

The opening lines of the song beautifully articulate the nervousness and excitement that come with falling in love for the first time. The fear of expressing one’s feelings and the overwhelming joy of finding reciprocated love is an experience many of us can relate to. The Platters effortlessly convey these emotions through their heartfelt delivery.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and longing. The lyrics portray a love that has stood the test of time, with the singer reminiscing about the intensity of their love and the pain experienced when thinking they could lose it.

“Remember how much I cried
It was dumb to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine”
