About All These Things

"All These Things" is a 1962 single written by Allen Toussaint under the pseudonym of "Naomi Neville". While previously recorded by Art Neville and Lee Tillman, the biggest chart hit version was performed by Joe Stampley (see also The Uniques). "All These Things" was Stampley's third number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for a single week and spent a total of thirteen weeks on the chart. A re-recording in 1981 charted at number 62. John Boutte recorded it as well, and performs it regularly, and did so at Alan Toussaint 's memorial. James Booker recorded the song on his album Classified (1982). Elvis Costello recorded the song with Toussaint in 2006 for the album The River in Reverse. more »

The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited, makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand, your sweet hello
The fire inside you when you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

If you would leave, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late, I started to cry
I've got it bad, it's alright
As long as you're here every night
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »
