Faded Yearbook | Original 1950s Doo-Wop Ballad & Oldies Pop

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you pull a dusty book from the shelf under the soft glow of a porch light, and suddenly, years of distance vanish in a heartbeat. This music is the soundtrack to that quiet moment of remembrance, where the faded ink of a high school yearbook brings back the warmth of a hand you once held and a night that never truly ended.

🎶 About This Song: This is a brand new original composition, meticulously arranged to resurrect the authentic spirit of the American golden era. We blend the lush, romantic textures of Doo-Wop harmonies with the gentle sway of a 6/8 ballad time signature, featuring a clean electric guitar drenched in vintage tremolo and a warm, walking bassline. Every note is crafted to capture the innocent romance of a 1950s drive-in or a slow dance at the gym, delivering a pure analog feeling that resonates with audiophiles and dreamers alike.

🎙️ LYRICS / MOOD STORY:

Yeah... my darling... Listen to my heart...

I pulled a dusty book down from the shelf tonight Beneath the glow of a little porch-light Pages whisper soft like a slow jukebox song Back to the hallway where we danced along The ink is faint, but the feeling stays true Blue-and-gold dreams and a ribbon for you Your smile is there in a black-and-white frame And, sugar, my heart still knows your name

Oh, my faded yearbook, bound in blue and gold A sweetheart story that never gets old Between the “Stay Sweet” and the “Don’t You Change” You’re the prettiest thing in every page I turn, arranged Yeah, my faded yearbook, I’m feeling sixteen again It leads me back to you, honey—back to you again

I remember the night of the Senior Prom Nervous laugh and a corsage on your arm You wore lace and ribbons, soft as a sigh Under gym-lights shining like a summer sky We grabbed a milkshake at the soda shop door Two straws, one dream, couldn’t ask for more Then the drive-in screen went silver and bright And the magic moon kept time all night

Oh, my faded yearbook, bound in blue and gold A sweetheart story that never gets old Between the “Stay Sweet” and the “Don’t You Change” You’re the prettiest thing in every page I turn, arranged Yeah, my faded yearbook, I’m feeling sixteen again It leads me back to you, honey—back to you again

You know, some names get blurry, and some faces drift away... Just like summer fading at the edge of Labor Day. But right here in the margins, in handwriting so neat, You wrote: ‘To my dearest—promise me you’ll stay sweet.’

And I grin like a schoolboy when I read that line Like the whole wide world is doing fine!

Oh, my faded yearbook, bound in blue and gold A sweetheart story that never gets old Between the “Stay Sweet” and the “Don’t You Change” You’re the prettiest thing in every page I turn, arranged Yeah, my faded yearbook, I’m feeling sixteen again Every single memory leads me back to you again

Ooh-wah, ooh-wah... stay sweet, my darling... I remember you... Back to you...
