Connie Francis Song Lyrics

The Connie Francis song lyrics is  a teen ballad about my very favorite #1 song from 1962, "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You."

The song was written by Benny Davis and Ted Murry and was released in January 1962.

This ballad is about a plea from a heartbroken teenager who is trying to understand why her boyfriend is going out of his way to treat her unkindly.  The song's lyrics explore the girl's plea to her indifferent boyfriend, asking him not to break her heart, as her love for him is genuine and worthwhile.

Her objective is to help him understand the depth of her feelings and the pain his behavior is causing. She also wants her boyfriend to understand that she values herself and that her love is genuine and worthwhile.

Sadly, the song ends with her begging him not to break her heart, and is another classic song where Connie possess that little "cry" in her voice that is so familiar with many of her songs. 

You just have that feeling that she believes every word and you can sense her passion as she pours her heart out in this wonderful early 60s teen heartbreaker. 

The Billboard Hot 100 dated 31 March 1962 ranked "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" at #1, making it Connie's third and final chart-topper. This Connie Francis recording also went to number one on the easy listening charts.

For me, the  Connie Francis songs always bring back those special teen years, a bygone time of innocence where the fun part of life included Friday night sock hops, drive-in movies, cool custom cars and cruising with your friends.  

Her natural talent and beautiful voice have brought joy, not only to me, but to so many others, from teens to my close friends and to the military men and women around the world this wonderful lady has entertained.

Her dignity and musical legacy will always insure her a place in the hearts of those millions that her music has touched. God bless you dear lady for all those wonderful musical moments you shared with me during my teenage years.
