Bossa Collection

Para Machuchar Meu Coração

Written & Recorded In 1994 
I Was 44 & 3 Years Into Being A Dad 
And A Friend Of Almost 20 Years
Was Getting Married & I Was Known For 
Giving Songs As Wedding Gifts 
I Knew This One Was Good 
But It Wasn't Really Them
So I Wrote Another...
Which Again, Alley-Wise, Was More Up Mine...
Than Theirs 
Over The Years, I've Fallen In Love With This Recording 
The Everly's "Walk Right Back" Was A Big Influence
----
On This Tascam 4-Track Cassette Recording 
I Live Mic'd My Gibson Hollow-Body
Like An Acoustic Guitar
So It Sounds Half-Guitar & Half-Badminton Racket 
Extremely Unplugged 
------
Serious Hugs To Frankie & Shante
I Sent This Outtake To Them ... Some Years Later
----
Feel Free To Note: 
Near The End Of The Track 
A Background Vocal 
Anticipates A Second 'Bridge' Section 
'Marchin' (to the tune of)'
And Then Says 'Sorry' On Mic 
----
I Did This! 

THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED TODAY

The Day Arrives 
And The Date’s Been Set
I’ll Be Surprised If
They Don’t Get 
A Little Carried Away
They’re Getting Married Today

It Still Seems Strange That
Once They Were Strangers
Now They’re Joined For
All Of The Ages  
Man What Can You Say
They’re Getting Married Today

Marching To The Tune Of
Something Known As True Love

For Some It’s Such A
Common Occasion
For These Two It’s The
Birth Of A Nation
If They Cry It’s Okay
They’re Getting Married Today

Skip The Vows 
Hey iI’s Just A Suggestion
I Don’t Know Why 
They Even Ask Them The Question
You Know What They’ll Say
They’re Getting Married Today

Marching To The Tune Of
Something Known As True Love
If They Cry It’s Okay
They’re Getting Married Today

The Day Arrives 
And The Date’s Been Set
I’d Be Surprised If
They Don’t Get 
A Little Carried Away
They’re Getting Married Today
