Milesago:
Popular Melbourne band The Town Criers formed around 1965. They gigged consistently over the next two years, and in late 1967 they were signed to the Astor label by A&R manager Ron Tudor.
Their second single, released in February 1968 was a strong version of Everlasting Love, the much-covered hit originally recorded by American singer Robert Knight in 1967 and also released in 1968 in the UK by The Love Affair. The song was penned by pop songwriters Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden.

Lyrics:
Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go.
I went away just when you needed me so.
Filled with regret I come back beggin’ you,
Forgive, forget. Where’s the love we once knew?
Open up your eyes, then you’ll realize here I stand
With my everlasting love.
