Crispian St. Peters (born Robin Peter Smith; 5 April 1939 – 8 June 2010) was an English pop singer-songwriter, best known for his work in the 1960s, particularly hit songs written by duo The Changin' Times, including "The Pied Piper", and Ian & Sylvia's "You Were on My Mind". His popularity waned after he claimed he was a better performer than other well known singers and declared that he was a better songwriter than the Beatles. In 1964, as a member of Peter & The Wolves, St. Peters made his first commercial recording. He was persuaded to turn solo by Nicholson and was signed to Decca Records in 1965. His first two singles on this record label, "No No No" and "At This Moment", proved unsuccessful on the charts.

In 1966, St. Peters' career finally yielded a Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart, with "You Were on My Mind", a song written and first recorded in 1964 by the Canadian folk duo, Ian & Sylvia, and a hit in the United States for We Five in 1965. St. Peters' single eventually hit No. 2 in the UK and was then released in the US on the Philadelphia-based Jamie Records label. It did not chart in the US until a year after his fourth release, "The Pied Piper", became known as his signature song and a Top 10 hit in the United States and the UK. Although his next single, a version of Phil Ochs' song "Changes", also reached the charts in both the UK and US, it was much less successful. In 1967, St. Peters released his first LP, Follow Me..., which included several of his own songs, as well as the single "Free Spirit". One of them, "I'll Give You Love", was recorded by Marty Kristian in a version produced by St. Peters, and became a big hit in Australia. St. Peters' album was followed by his first EP, Almost Persuaded, yet by 1970, he was dropped by Decca.

Lyrics of the song:
Willingly

Willingly, I'll be yours
Willingly, I'll wait for you
All my love
And all my life
I would give for you
Only you
Wish you were mine
Wish you belong to me

Here and all the time
Wanting you to care for me
Want you to know
I love you so
Oh, could it be
You too need me
We're wasting time
Say you'll be mine
My love

Night and day you're there
In dreams beyond compare
Giving your love so divine
You could make these dreams come true
If you walk into
My love, my life, and say you're mine

Willingly, I'll be yours
Willingly, I'll wait for you
All my love
And all my life
I would give for you
Only you
Wish you were mine
Wish you belong to me
For I'll be yours
Yes, I'll be yours
Willingly
