"Until It`s Time for You to Go" is a song from the 1965 album Many a Mile by American singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. Sainte-Marie included a French-language reworking of the song, "T`es pas un autre", on her 1967 album Fire & Fleet & Candlelight. French translation was made by Quebecer songwriter Claude Gauthier.
The song has been recorded by many other singers.[1]
Background
The lyrics concern an ordinary man and woman who love each other, but cannot stay together because they come from different worlds. The singer asks their lover: "Don`t ask why / Don`t ask how / Don`t ask forever / Love me now." According to Sainte-Marie, the song "popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn`t stay with me."[2]
"The Flower and the Apple Tree"
Featured as a B-side to the Sainte-Marie`s single release of "Until It`s Time for You to Go" is the rarity "The Flower and the Apple Tree", an original song that was exclusive to the single.[3]
Notable cover versions
- It was a UK Top 20 hit for British group The Four Pennies in 1965.[4]
- Also in 1965, Michael Nesmith (under the moniker of "Michael Blessing") recorded a version of the song produced by Bob Krasnow, released on Columbia Pictures` record label Colpix Records.
- In 1970, after having released a cover in 1969, Neil Diamond went to #11 on the US Easy Listening chart and #53 on the US Hot 100.[5] Record World said that "Neil Diamond has done a beautiful job" with the song.[6] Billboard called it "one gem of a performance".[7] Cash Box called it "a splendid reading with the velvet style polished by `Holly` and `Caroline.`"[8]
- In 1970, on her album Chapter Two (Roberta Flack album), Roberta Flack included a cover of the song, which appears on side two as the album`s sixth track.[9][circular reference]
- In 1972, Elvis Presley released the song, which peaked at #40 on the US Hot 100, and #9 on the US Easy Listening chart.[10]
- In 1973, New Birth featuring future Supremes member Susaye Greene recorded a version of the song, which peaked at #21 on the US Hot Soul Singles chart.[11]
