My Favorite Things

When Somebody Loved Me (Toy Story) [vocoder test]

I don't need to fly high
I don't need to have the sea below me
And though I want to see the world,
What I would give to have you by my side

I have sat through rainy nights,
I've seen the world turning dark before me,
But in the quiet by this dwindling fire,
Oh what I'd give to have you by my side

When all I want is you to be there,
and we could build a fire in the fog of fall
I want to look up from a book and meet your eyes and see
A smile that only means "This is all I need"

Thought myself silly for a while,
For doing what could very well destroy me,
But if you only saw it through my eyes,
I think you'd see, you could be by my side

When all I want is you to be there,
and we could build a fire in the fog of fall
I want to look up from a book and meet your eyes and see
A smile that only means "This is all I need"

When all I need is you, you'll be there,
and we will build a fire in the fog of fall,
and we will find the sky through windows on a drive and we will
know that this is all we'll ever need

What I Wouldn't Do

Poor is a matchmaker, but the window glows
Sad as a widowed wife, but her love it shows
Branches breaking, lives worth taking
Seeds to be sown, God was a man for those

Stars in a velvet sky through a cellar door
Chains of a worthy man, on the bloody floor
Dark forsaking, life is waking
Long to be poor, linger on earth no more

Through frosty panes
And streams of glass
I saw you love,
You loved and lost at last

The current is strong, and the branch is high
I could be a better man, given enough time
Future facing, life embracing
Scan the horizon, and you'll see me fly

Through frosty panes
And streams of glass
I saw you love,
You loved and lost at last

Tales of confusion, but all resolve
You'll see me standing, if I trip and fall
Maybe heartless, maybe darkness
But standing tall, as the world falls 

Through frosty panes
And streams of glass
I saw you love,
You loved and lost...
Through frosty panes
And streams of glass
I saw you love,
You loved and lost at last


I Saw You Love

Firefly Theme

I know this isn't normally a guy song, but I switched the words up and changed the chords a bit, and ended up with this. Maybe I should do the whole song?

It’s a cover, gone
Back window, gone
The tone of a ride

It’s way too far,
A ways on, now
Let it go

Print checks to go out on a high note,
Paper scraps for the drive
If your mother’s worried anyway,
It’s just another sigh

Calexico, Calexico
End and beginning
Don’t know where to go from here
I’m just standing on the edge of a paper thin fence
And I’m never coming down again

Pack away all my
Memories of any days
I am gonna fall sometime
I only don’t know which way
