Name the song...

[StyXSIS]

If i do that i'll have given the song away.

[Butterfly]

Give us a clue then!!

[StyXSIS]

Heres a few clues then...
October 28 1957 was when this was released and was the biggest hit for this artist by getting to #6 on the U.S charts.
This song was also covered in 1965 by Freddie And The Dreamers.
And heres the song title
_i _ _ l _ / _ i _ _ y / _ _ e _ _ y / o _ _
Hows that then Butterfly ?

[Butterfly]

That's a great clue.... but I'm still none of wiser!!

[merseygull]

[Butterfly]

I'm glad I'm not the only one!! StyXSIS.... this is really difficult!! Can we have another line of lyrics please.... pretty, pretty please....

Where's Scruff, Dave or Gadget.... they probably know!!

[StyXSIS]

This is all i can give now as i would be giving the song away by giving anymore (and probably have by doing the below lines).
.Heres the song again.
.
I could tell you a story It happened a long time ago
_i _ _ l _ / _ i _ _ y / _ _ e _ _ y / o _ _
I've been watchin' you grow

[merseygull]

Still stumped, can think of a number of covers done by Freddie&co, but none that fit the description given...

Need to get to bed, NN

[The Weegie]

The first word I think is Little. Last word I think is either off, one or old. The rest of the song I aint got a clue.

[The Weegie]

Is the second word Billy.

[The Weegie]

I haven't even heard of freddie and the dreamers.

Oh! the joys of being Young.

[The Weegie]

The last word must be old. The clue you have given is "It happened a long time ago" The last word is old.

[StyXSIS]

I cant tell you if any of thats right weegie. Like ive said if i say anymore i'll have given the song away. You'll have to guess what the missing words are. Goodluck
