You're My SuperGirl
© 5/7/2018 C. Stewart

V1
Darlin’ there is something that I want to say
Because I feel I don’t say it enough
I want to tell you how much you mean to me
And all that other lovey-dovey stuff
But I don’t want to sound like a cheesy guy
So I will put it to you plain and simple that…

PCh
You make me smile
(You know that) you make me smile

V2
Even though we’ve been together for a little while
I never want to take you for granted
Coz life can really find a way to undermine
All of the seeds that we have planted
I would love nothing more than to be the guy
That finishes what he started because…

PCh
You make me smile
(You know that) you make me smile

Ch
You make me smile, when the times are really tough
You make me laugh when I would be crying
You make me realise I’m the luckiest man that I know
You keep me going when I’ve felt that I’ve had enough
You keep me sane without even trying
I want to make it clear, I hope you understand
That I’m your number one fan coz you’re my SuperGirl

Interlude

V3
When you’re looking at me with your big brown eyes
That’s all it takes to make my day
And when you wrap your arms around myself
I can feel my fear melting away
It’s all the little things that you say and do
That keeps me coming right back to you now because…

PCh
You make me smile
(You know that) you make me smile

Ch
You make me smile, when the times are really tough
You make me laugh when I would be crying
You make me realise I’m the luckiest man that I know
You keep me going when I’ve felt that I’ve had enough
You keep me sane without even trying
I want to make it clear, I hope you understand
I wanna run down the street, tell every woman and man
Put it up in lights and write it in the sand
That I’m your number one fan coz you’re my SuperGirl

02 You're My SuperGirl

These are all the songs I've written (either solo or, with others) for this years 5090 Song Challenge. The songs are presented in the order of writing, warts and all... Enjoy :)

Seek And You Will Find
© 4/7/2018 C. Stewart

V1
You pulled me apart
Into tiny bits and pieces
Then tried to glue me together
God only knows you had your reasons
But you couldn’t explain what was going on
Or even the difference between right and wrong
You know that your actions speak so much louder
Than the words you say

Ch
But I will be OK
I made a promise to myself to live to fight another day
And to use my voice when there’s no more words to say
Because if I’m not careful I will surely lose my mind
I’ve got to seek and I will find

V2
What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s left has been reduced to ashes
The silence is deafening
There’s only my voice to smash it
I’d rather cut my flesh and watch me bleed
Then to sit here alone in my time of need
Just show me the way, a piece of your puzzle
Or even a sign

Chorus

Interlude (1st 1/2 of verse)
I’ve got to seek and I will find
I’ve got to seek and I will find

V3
I’d rather cut my flesh and watch me bleed
Then to sit here alone in my time of need
Just show me the way, a piece of your puzzle
Or even a sign

Chorus (x2)

01 Seek And You Will Find

Each and every Monday for 2019 I'll be uploading a song as part of my self imposed Song A Week Challenge.

The first song written for this challenge is "Every Beat Of My Heart" a simple love song to get the ball rolling.

Every Beat Of My Heart
© 7/1/2019 C. Stewart

Verse 1
Once I was stuck in a daydream
In a world where there was no way out
But you provided a way for me
To wake up from all the times I’ve been down

Chorus
But I know…
That with every little beat of my heart
I’m getting taken back right to the start
Of where it all began for us

Verse 2
I look at you, you look back at me
And I feel myself drowning in your eyes
Between us there’s electricity
A connection that I cannot deny

Chorus
But I know…
That with every little beat of my heart
I’m getting taken back right to the start
Of where it all began for us
Oh, but I know…
That with every little beat of my heart
The bond that keeps us from drifting apart
Is getting stronger because of our love

Solo (Verse)

Chorus
But I know…
That with every little beat of my heart
I’m getting taken back right to the start
Of where it all began for us
Oh, but I know…
That with every little beat of my heart
The bond that keeps us from drifting apart
Is getting stronger because of our love…

Back Of My Mind

Seeing Stars

Missing You Already

The first song written for the FAWM2021 Songwriting Challenge

Funk It (with Amanda West)

This beautiful lyric by Cindy Prince deserves some slow, ambient groovy funk to go with it. The lyric is all about longing for the girl with the "smoulderin' eyes"

I've known a few of them in my life :)

Smoulderin' Eyes

A song arrangement I created with lyric penned by Kristi McKeever. A song all about longing and loss over love's gone by.

A Long Time Ago

Sometimes letting go of the shit that's happened to you in the past and allowing it to become water under the bridge is the most liberating thing you can do for yourself. Try it :)

Water Under The Bridge

This lyric by Amanda West is a straight out love song. A perfect song for your Valentine :)

My Sweet Valentine

A fun song with lyrics written by FAWM lyricist @cindyrella. My take of a surf pop tune as the lyrics lend itself to it
