    Default Oldies (pop/rock) help, please

    Who recorded "My love for you" (I think that's the title) back in late fifties-early sixties? The male lead sang, "My love is higher than a mission bell, deeper than a wishing well" etc. The background females sang, "Say that you love me. Say those pretty words that will make me give my love to you". A lot of strings were in the background music, too. Thanks.

    Is this what you're looking for?

    Mission Bell
    Donnie Brooks
    Words and Music by Jesse D. Hodges and William Michael

    Reached # 7 on the Billboard pop chart in 1960

    (Say that you love me)
    (Say those pretty words and I will give my love to you)

    My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?)
    Deeper than wishin' well (how strong?)
    Stronger than a magic spell

    My love (uh huh) for you
    It's wider than the widest sea (how long?)
    Longer than a memory (how sweet?)
    Sweeter than a honey tree

    My love (uh huh), oh oh oh (uh huh)
    My love (uh huh), mm mm mm (uh huh) for you

    Give me your heart of gold
    Your heavenly magic touch
    To cherish, have, and hold
    I need your love so much

    <music break>

    (Say that you love me)
    (Say those pretty words and I will give my love to you)

    My love is warmer than a day in Spring (how bright?)
    Brighter than a diamond ring (how brave?)
    Braver than a mighty king

    My love (uh huh) for you
    It's taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)
    Softer than a summer breeze

    All I ask you, please
    Give (uh huh) your love (uh huh)
    Your love (uh huh), sweet love (uh huh) to me

    (How high?) higher than a mission bell
    (How deep?) deeper than a wishin' well
    (How strong?) stronger than a magic spell
    FADE
    (How wide?)

    This song has also been covered by Gene Pitney

    Hope this is of some help
