Shirley Nair was easily one of the top singers of the 60’s. More so, she wrote and sang her own songs like “Don’t leave me” which was brilliantly backed by The Silver Strings.

Don’t leave me, If you ever go, You’re the boy, Too late for tears, Come home to me, I won’t let you see me cry, I’ll remember today, Two people.

The Silver Strings in the 60’s:  Audie Ng (bass), David Chan (replaced by Dickie Tan, lead), Danny Boy (replaced by Mohammad Khan, drums) and Merlin Lim (rhythm)

(DON’T LEAVE ME)
Don’t leave me, my little baby
Don’t leave me and break my heart
I know, oh yes, I know
I could never fall in love again
Remember you said that you loved m
The promise you made to me
But now you’ve changed your mind
You are hurting me but you just don’t care
I gave you everything that I could give
My heart, my love, my soul
Another has taken you away
And now what else can I say?
Don’t leave me please have pity
I’m begging with all my heart
I know, oh yes, I know
I could never fall in love again
