此曲美女歌手兼曲作家Jackie DeShannon所,於1963首作另首《When You Walk in the Room》的B面行。B面的歌曲「通常」不入排行榜的名次,但此曲A面的《When You Walk……》也勉打入告示牌排行榜第99名。
到Jackie DeShannon,其歌的才毋庸置疑。一般而言,能或唱出一首典歌曲世就很不了( 西洋歌曲的「一曲歌王 / 」多得是 ),而Jackie DeShannon有多首的知名曲,除了上述的《When You Walk in the Room》外,有《Needles and Pins》(1963)、《Bette Davis Eyes》(1981) 等,都是被人唱,然自己也有首像是《Put a Little Love in Your Heart》( # 4 ) 等成算可以的歌曲,但整看,Jackie DeShannon是一位常「人作嫁」的「悲情」歌手。
英翻唱Needles and Pins,成不。

歌曲好不好其是「仁智」,也和排行榜的名次的。1965,澳洲甜心女歌手Olivia Newton-John在正式出道前,曾加才目「Sing, Sing, Sing,」,得赴英展的。此首《Till You Say You'll Be Mine》是Olivia在1966赴英後所的第一首曲 ( 也是歌唱生涯的首支曲 ),可惜的是,不未打英排行榜,也能有佳的,算是「全覆」,唱片公司之後也未再替她出曲。直至1971,Olivia才由另家唱片公司行的《If Not For You》走。Olivia之後回此曲曾:音起就像是在浴室的。
此曲重未出在Olivia的人中,倒是原行的Decca唱片公司,或是因Olivia有了名後,此曲收在一些合中,以及在一些音媒平台上行。Olivia本身是不太想再提起首歌,但此曲原版的黑唱片,她的某些粉,是集的至。
Jackie DeShannon的原唱到Olivia Newton-John的翻唱,歌曲的音效安排在是不理想,也或是想Phil Spector著名的「wall of sound (似撞到的回音)」而不成,但歌曲的奏很棒,是令人念的60年代。

I don't care if the sky is pretty blue
I don't care if the sun comes shining through
It really doesn't matter, baby
My heart keeps crying
Oh, life means nothing till you say you'll be mine
Until you say you'll give all your love to me
Ain't nothing in this world that can make me happy
I just got to have you for my own
My heart keeps crying
Oh, life means nothing till you say you'll be mine
Every night I pray that we can
Someday walk hand-in-hand down the aisle
But I uess I'll have to wait and see
Oh, this waiting is killing me
I'm no child
I don't care if I had all the money in the world
It just wouldn't matter if I wasn't your girl, baby
There's only one thing that will stop my heart from crying
The day you tell me that you'll be mine
I'll be so happy the day you tell me that you'll be mine
