Suffer Now I Must

After topping the UK charts with a cover of Dionne Warwick's "Anyone Who Had A Heart," former Cavern Club coat-check girl Cilla Black was given this epic torch song as a follow up. Produced by George Martin, this was originally an Italian ballad called "Il Mio Mondo," which he had translated by Carl Sigman and arranged by Johnny Pearson - becoming, "You're My World." It went on to become her second UK #1, and broke her worldwide including in the United States where this became her only hit. Carl Sigman also wrote "It's All In The Game," "Robin Hood" and "Theme From Love Story." Cilla Black was discovered by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and she went on to become the most successful female singer of the Mersey boom. Later she became a leading TV presenter in Britain, hosting the successful BBC music show Cilla between 1968 and 1976 and in the 1980s and 1990s mainstream ITV hits Blind Date and Surprise Surprise.

You're my world, you're every breath I take
You're my world, every move I make
Other eyes see the stars up in the skies
But for me they shine within your eyes

As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine

You're my world, you are my night and day
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be
Then it's the end of my world for me

With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine
You're my world, you are my night and day
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray

If our love ceases to be
Then it's the end of my world
End of my world
End of my world for me
