Patty’s third single, and first to miss the top 40, stalling at #64 in March 1966. The gender-bent cover of Bobby Goldsboro’s ballad of lost love, “Whenever He Holds You”, was also her final single to see any kind of chart action.
[Verse 1]
Take your little heart
Tear it all apart
Make the teardrops fall
From your eyes
[Chorus 1]
And you'll know how I feel
When she holds you
Whenever she holds you
[Verse 2]
Pretend no one loves you
Make believe you're blue
And if you get an empty feeling
Deep inside
[Chorus 1]
Then you'll know how I feel
When she holds you
Whenever she holds you
[Bridge]
My friends say forget you
I know I should try
But whenever she holds you, I feel I could die
[Verse 3]
But if you еver find
That I'm still on your mind
Maybe you'll come back
To my arms
[Chorus 2]
Till thеn I'll cry
When he holds you
Whenever she holds you
Whenever she holds you
Whenever She Holds You was written by Bobby Goldsboro.
Whenever She Holds You was produced by Gerry Granahan.
Patty Duke released Whenever She Holds You on Sat Jan 01 1966.
