Description

Here is my cover of "Image of a Girl" by The Safaris.
In 1960, I was 15 and wondering when I would get a girlfriend, this tune came out and made a very big impact on me.
I am playing it on my Fender 50's Series Stratocaster, through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
P.S. I always recommend earphones, preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

Lyrics
As I lie awake resting from the day
I can hear the clock passing time away
Oh, I couldn't sleep for on my mind
Was the image of the girl I hope to find
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
I look straight up at the ceiling above
Thinking of the girl whom I will love
Oh, would it be soon when she exists?
The image of the girl I've always wished
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
I twisted and I turned, ooh, trying to sleep
But all I could do was only to weep
For I haven't found that image yet
Of all the girls that I have met
And now the clock is still passing time
And I know someday that she will be mine
And I know she'll always bring me love
For she's the image of the girl I love
Whoa, (image of a girl) oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (image of a girl) oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (image of a girl)
