Happy 46th Anniversary Baby!

You Bring Magic
to My Life



You bring magic to my life
With everything you do
It's all I know that's true

You were meant to be with me
Through you I truly see
All that life can really be

You were sent from God above
At a time I wasn't free
Filled my heart just like a glove
Shaped my new reality

You bring magic to my life
Within those auburn eyes
Well each day's a new surprise

I just love to be with you
Your shining light so true
Brought a joy I never knew

I have found my one true love
Do you feel the same for me?
Shine your lovely light on me
Fill the gaps my eyes can't see

You're the only one for me
I am yours eternally
Take my hand and set us free

Together we will see all life could be

You bring magic to my life
With everything that's you
It's all I know that's true

You were born to be with me
Through you I truly see
All my life can really be

You bring magic to my life

You Bring Magic to My Life

A somewhat eclectic folksy tune that demonstrates a man's frustration with a partner that just doesn't communicate. A little mandolin, guitar, harmonica, mouth harp... a bit of fun.This is another rejuvenation job by Nat Daniels/Gentle Rain Records to improve upon my original recording. Thanks to Nat for her intuitive and compassionate assistance!

Lyrics:
Left Unsaid by Craig Durgy

On the phone with Cousin Linda, she got you to laugh so hard
Caught you talkin’ to the window, watching squirrels play in the yard
You said something to the mirror, as you put your makeup on
Then you stopped as I got nearer, you and the grocery list were gone
You make comments to the TV, but you never talk to me

Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration
Before we leave this thing for dead

Guess you kinda like your pillow, ‘cause you’ve been talking in your sleep
Sometimes you’re weepin’ like a willow, while I just lie there countin’ sheep
Heard you speaking to the fire, something ‘bout how love’s a joke
But you’re just preachin’ to the choir, through the chimney, up in smoke
I hear nothins and they ain’t sweet, but you never talk to me

Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration, desperation darling
Before we leave this thing for dead
Left unsaid…Left unsaid…Left unsaid

Left Unsaid
