Early years
Colleen Hewett was born on 16 April 1950 in Bendigo. She has an older sister, Glenys Hewett, who was a pop vocalist from the early sixties to mid-seventies. Hewett began her music career at the age of 12 when she sang with The Esquires at the Bendigo YMCA. At about 13 years old she appeared on TV pop music series, The Go!! Show, fifty years later she recalled "I wasn't of an age at that stage where I could go out on tour with anybody [...] I came down from Bendigo with a band I was working with there [...] then I came down again around my 14th birthday and did a solo spot on it ... they were just cover versions. I was just a little singer from Bendigo who came down on the train with the boys and did this amazing show that everybody watched".

by: Colleen HewettHope that I won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
But I won't let it change me not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
La La la la Repeated several times
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
