Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill lyrics
I found my thrill
On blueberry hill
On blueberry hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On blueberry hill
It lingered until
My dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart
You thought of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Weren't only to be

Though we're apart
You thought of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill.

~

*Dave Bartholomew interview quote regarding 'Blueberry Hill';
'.. '. We couldn't remember the bridge in the middle of the song.
Fats' brother-in-law, Harrison, an old time musician was our
Bus driver as well as his manager. He gave us the words but
We didn't get the right chord system in the bridge. Fats could
Hardly get through it so Bunny took a scissor to the tape and put it together. It's a common practice now but that was a long time ago.

    The "dying soldier" post is nonsense. It's another wistful (not "whist full") song about a lost love, like "Love Letters in the Sand" or "Harbor Lights." The verse (almost never included) says "Do you recall a year ago tonight?" True, people were being separated in the 1940s, when this song was popular (no, Fats Domino did not write it) -- but there is no connection to France. Proper credit to Vincent Rose (music) and Larry Stock and Al Lewis (lyrics). Glenn Miller had a #1 hit with it. Listen to various versions -- everyone from Gene Autry to Celine Dion -- to see how the meaning is shaded.

    Seeing that it was written in 1940, it suggests a war theme of a soldier on a hill in France dying in battle. He sees a vision of love as he "crosses over". Time is projected in a whist full way of the memory of the soldier in the use of the word "still".
