Looking at you
Looking at me
Two mirrors reflecting mine
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
The edges of my life define

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Laughing at you
Laughing at me
Two notes in harmony
Crying with you
Crying with me
Makes my sorrow taste so sweet

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Feeling your little head on my shoulder 
Holding your little heartbeat a little closer
How could I know as you grow a little older
This is a love I won't get over

Growing with you
Growing past me
Taking steps I feared to take
Hoping that you
Never lose hope, dear
This world is yours to make

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But I never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

The Very Best Of Me

Knuckles

Frederik Cornelius's new album "One Man Show" features a beautiful acoustic ballad titled "Ivory". With soft vocals and gentle percussion, this soothing track is played solely by Frederik on his guitar.

The lyrics of "Ivory" speak of a longing for connection and a desire to bridge the gap between two people who may feel worlds apart. Frederik's heartfelt vocals convey a sense of vulnerability and sincerity as he sings, "Please don’t take half as bad, this feeling we have never had, let’s get back and try once again."

The song's chorus echoes this sentiment, as Frederik implores his subject to "come with me, Ivory" and to see the potential for a beautiful connection between them. Despite the darkness that may appear in the world, Frederik believes in the power of love and the importance of taking a chance on a relationship that may seem difficult or unlikely.

"Ivory" is a tender and honest ballad that showcases Frederik Cornelius's skills as a songwriter and musician. Its delicate instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it a standout track on "One Man Show", and a must-listen for fans of acoustic ballads and heartfelt lyrics.

Lyrics:
Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me

And I know that this world is strange
It feels like we ain’t got a chance
And darkness may appear too many times
Now I’m asking you to try
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Open up to me
Ivory
Let’s sail out on the sea
You and me

Please don’t take half as bad
This feeling we have never had
Let’s get back and try once again
Now I’m asking you to try 
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
You and me

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL people. No lazy AI allowed. Originally from San Diego CA many of my songs are inspired by fond memories of beach and ocean culture and carne asada burritos. Maybe one of these days, I'll learn how to record my songs better, but until then, I'm just enjoying the raw songwriting process.

Unstoppable
