"Walk on By" is a song written by Kendall Hayes and performed by American country music artist Leroy Van Dyke. It was released in June 1961 as the first single and title track from the album Walk On By. The song was Van Dyke's most successful single, spending 37 weeks on the country chart and a record-breaking 19 at the number-one position. "Walk on By" crossed over to the pop chart peaking at number five, and was named by Billboard magazine as the biggest country music record in history.
The 19-week run of "Walk On By" is a record that stood for 51 years until "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line reached its 19th week at No. 1 on July 20, 2013; the following week, "Cruise" surpassed the standard when it recorded its 20th week at No. 1. Until Florida Georgia Line surpassed it in total weeks at No. 1, "Walk On By" held the record for most weeks at No. 1 since the introduction of the all-encompassing Hot Country Songs (then called Hot C&W Sides) chart in October 1958; the all-time record for most weeks at No. 1 (21 weeks) is held jointly by three songs: "I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)" by Eddy Arnold (1947); "I'm Movin' On" by Hank Snow (1950); and "In the Jailhouse Now" by Webb Pierce (1955).
Walk On may refer to:
The term walk-on is used in sports, particularly American college athletics, to describe an athlete who becomes part of a team without being actively recruited beforehand or awarded an athletic scholarship. This results in the differentiation between "walk-on" players and "scholarship" players.
Walk-ons have a particularly developed history in college football. Often these athletes are relegated to the scout team, and may not even be placed on the official depth chart or traveling team. However, there are occasions, sometimes well publicized, where a walk-on will become a noted member of his or her team in one of several ways.
A bit part is a role in which there is direct interaction with the principal actors and no more than five lines of dialogue (often referred to as a "five or less" in the United States). In British television, bit parts are referred to as under sixes. A bit part is higher than that of an extra and lower than that of a supporting actor. An actor who regularly performs in bit roles, either as a hobby or to earn a living, is referred to as a bit player, a term also used to describe an aspiring actor who has not yet broken into major supporting or leading roles.
Unlike extras, who do not typically interact with principals, actors in bit parts are sometimes listed in the credits. An exception to this practice is the cameo appearance, wherein a well-known actor or other celebrity appears in a bit part; it is common for such appearances to be uncredited. Another exception occurred in MGM's 1951 screen version of the musical Show Boat, in which the role of the cook Queenie (Frances E. Williams) was reduced from a significant supporting role in the stage version to a bit part in the film. Williams, whose appearance was not intended as a cameo, was not listed at all in the credits. On the other hand, William Warfield, whose role as Joe, Queenie's husband, was also drastically shortened in the film from the stage original, did receive screen credit because he sang Ol' Man River.
It's Monday morning I feel a little strange,
I'm kinda thinking I'd like to make a change.
Never known what I wanted before,
Seems there's nothing here that I care for,
Maybe wrong but how can I be sure,
Never had it bad but I need more.
CHORUS
I'll walk on by you won't see me hide,
I'm moving on 'coz I don't need anyone,
Now I think it's time, leave it all behind,
Gonna walk on by.
I've gotta let go I've gott do what's right,
No use complaining I'll always do what I feel like,
It feels alright.
Never had it bad but I need more,
Never known what I wanted before,
Seems there's nothing here that I care for, hey yeah,
Maybe wrong but how can I be sure.
CHORUS
I've waited here a long time to get on my way,
There's nothing real that is mine,
And nothing to make me stay, to make me stay, yeah.
CHORUS
Gonna walk on by you won't see me hide oh no,
Noe I think it's time, leave it all behind,
