Question
My real name is Theresa.  My mother swears she named me after a very popular song in the 1950's entitled "theresa".  I have never been able to find the song or any mention of a song called Theresa that was popular during that time.  Do you know of the song?  I appreciate any response you can give me.

Thanks,
Tess

Answer
Found these lyrics for an old song by that title but little other information"


The summer is over There-esa
I'm tryin' to tell you goodbye
You know that I love you
There-esa
So you'll have no reason to cry

'Cause I'll be thinkin' of you night and
day
The thought of you will help me on my way-ay
You're my little girl and to me you mean
the world
How I love you my little There-esa

Whenever you're lonely
There-esa
Remember that I'm lonely too
And think of the good times There-esa
Keep
smilin' whatever you do

'Cause I'll be thinkin' of you night and day-ay
The thought of
you will help me on my way-ay
You're my little girl and to me you mean the world
How I love
you my little There-esa

Yes I'll be thinkin' of you night and day-ay
The thought of you
will help me on my way-ay
You're my little girl and to me you mean the world
How I love you
my little There-esa...
