Lyrics: 

(v1)
If you’re wondering who I really love, it’s you
I promise you, the words I say are true
Say your love is here to stay 
And I will show you every day 

(Refrain)
That no one makes me feel like you do
There’s only one I love, and it’s you

(v2)
I really couldn’t go on without you
Your loving is what stops me feeling blue
As long as you are by my side
I will have no need to hide

(refrain 2)
I hope you’re gonna say you love me too
When I say that it’s you I love, it’s you

(Bridge)
Others had made promises before
They swore their love was true 
But I realized what love is really for 
What's more, I found it all in you 

(v3)
Wouldn’t want to be with anyone but you
You make the sun come shining through
So when you look into my eyes
I hope that you will realize

(Refrain 3)
That this world was made for us two
‘Cos my darling, it’s you I love, it’s you

(Bridge instrumental)

(v3)
Wouldn’t want to be with anyone but you
You make the sun come shining through
So when you look into my eyes
I hope that you will realize

(Refrain 3)
That this world was made for us two
‘Cos my darling, it’s you I love, it’s you

(Coda)
You know that it’s you I love, it’s you
Yes, it’s you 
Yes, It’s you 
Oh, it’s you

It's You

Verse 1
Listen, son, take it from me
Relationships are like a recipe

If you want them to last

A little of that
But not too much cause it can make you fat

If you’re puzzled you’re not the only one
Just open your eyes and open your mind
And your heart will tell what to do

Whole Lotta Love

You always said the intangibles 
had a hold on me hard to detach
Now you’re intangible yourself 
in my head like a guttering match
I cup my hand against the flickering wind
Wait for memories to start again
They cling to me like fog against faraway hills
They sing to me of what could be but never will

You always saw the glass as half-full
If I said half-empty you’d pre-empt me
Who knew our hearts could grow cool,
that in your wake no love might tempt me?
I fasten my coat against the chilly damp
As the memories illuminate me like a lamp

Round Your Table

Rough skeleton for now.  The guitar has a Smiths sound to it.  But, I like the direction that it's going in - And I don't want to overthink it. So, here ya go

Everything Shines Forever

Always You

Lyrics: Patty Lakamp
Music: Jeff Walker

V1 
On nights when you’re alone
Do I ever cross your mind         
Flashes of regret 
For a love you left behind
 
V2  
Or was I just a guy
A convenient man to call
Someone safe you kept around
Like a spare coat in the hall
 
Ch 
It was always you
Always you
I loved you then and I still do
Is there a chance you love me, too
It was always you
Always you
 
V3 
Did the softer light of time
Reveal a deeper dream
Things you didn’t see before
That draw you back to me
 
V4 
If you’re happy where you are
Say the word and I’ll let go
But if your heart has changed its mind
Please tell me, tell me so
 
Ch 
It was always you
Always you
I loved you then and I still do
Is there a chance you love me, too
It was always you
Always you

Break
 
Out
It was always you
Always you
I loved you then and I still do

It was always you
Always you

Always You

FAWM no. 13... a cheery song about a dystopian, apocalyptic future that may or may not be based on recent climate summits 😬. Wanted to go full orchestral on this, a bit like if Randy Newman had done a song with ELO...

LYRICS

Out here in the desert
We’re turning off the lights
We had a good time, baby
Now the pipes are running dry
Back in 2023, we said it would all be fine
I guess that we were wrong
And you were right

Towers in the distance
Tremble in the heat
We built our Babylon
Out of oil and concrete
Now join us on the hundredth floor
As the waters rise
Watch the little people tryin’ to survive

And it looks like the end of the world
And everyone knows it’s
The way we all chose it
And if it’s the end of the world
It can’t be denied
We all had the time of our lives

These days you will struggle
To find somewhere that’s free
From fire, flood or famine
And human misery
London’s underwater, L.A.’s smoke and dust
Seven billion vehicles slowly rust

But don’t you worry, baby
Baby, don’t despair
You didn’t think this story
Really ended there
For the lucky few (and hey that’s you!)
There’s a colony on Mars
I hear the shuttle’s waiting to depart

And it looks like the end of the world
Everyone knows it’s
The way we all chose it
And if it’s the end of the world
It can’t be denied
We all had the time of our lives

It’s been quite a ride
Now kiss it goodbye….

The End Of The World

After You

We reached for the same white roses at the outdoor market stand
Accidental touch for an instant, a connection in the brush of your hand

We both bought bouquets of roses and I offered mine to you
Surprise on your face, then a laugh as you said, Looks like I’m buying coffee for two

Ch 1 
Nothing since that moment feels remotely like my old life
The line between Before and After You
Suddenly the simplest things take on an air of magic
Everything’s in color After You

Spent too many years just drifting, waiting for my time to come
Knew there was something missing, couldn’t find it, my heart went numb

Goodbye to those nights of lonely, wondering if my chance had passed
Sun came out that morning when I found you, found you at last

Ch 2 
Now I’m part of you-and-me, and two’s my favorite number
The line between Before and After You
Suddenly the simplest things take on an air of magic
Everything’s in color After You

Br
Imagine my delight when you said you felt that way, too 
Before and After Me
Oh, how lucky are we 
To stumble on each other, just in time
And we have time

Repeat Ch 1
Nothing since that moment feels remotely like my old life
The line between Before and After You
Suddenly the simplest things take on an air of magic
Everything’s in color After You

Out:
Memories of that morning, fresh as new-cut flowers
Reminders of that line between my old life…and After You

After You

Verse 1
                             
Baby grab your coat and your mittens
We'll stroll to the village square
Snowflakes are gently falling
And Christmas is in the air

Verse 2
Big red bows top trees that glow
Up and down the avenue
But, all this magical splendor
Can’t hold a candle to you

Chorus:
You are my Christmas Angel
Your sparkle puts the light in my heart
your spirit bubbles like a fine champagne
Your kiss is sweeter than a candy cane
Yes, you’re my Christmas Angel
You’re a Christmas Angel to me

Verse 3
We'll sip steamy cups of cocoa
Share a slice of mince meat pie
Listen to the carolers singing
And gaze into each other's eyes

Chorus:
You are my Christmas Angel
Your sparkle puts the light in my heart
Your spirit bubbles like a fine champagne
Your kiss is sweeter than a candy cane
Yes, you’re my Christmas Angel
You’re a Christmas Angel to me


Bridge:
Baby, our love burns brightly
That’s how I want it to stay
You are my perfect Angel
Each moment is a holiday

Chorus:
You are my Christmas Angel
Your sparkle puts the light in my heart
Your spirit bubbles like a fine champagne
Your kiss is sweeter than a candy cane
Yes, you’re my Christmas Angel
Christmas Angel
Christmas Angel
You’re a Christmas Angel to me

My Christmas Angel

Track 14 of FAWM 2021 (!!!)

v.1.0

Verse 1:
If I was a bird I could fly away quietly whenever i wanted.
Only the sky and the wind, and the air in my feathers and nothing else.
Looking down on the buildings and people and shouting "HELLO!".
Only the bright light around me my, and vision as sharp as a knife.

Pre:
How wonderful things would have looked from above. Only clouds that's disturbing the sight.
Seeing the world like a bird i the sky, is something I shurley would want.

Verse 2:
I'm spreading my songs to the world so that everyone hears it.
Bringing a smile to the face of a child, while I'm flying away.
Finding my food on the ground, cause I don't need to struggle, by working.
It's the simplest life, but the joy that I feel is just simply unmatched.

Pre:
How wonderful things would have looked from above, while floating along on the air.
Even the huge storms would not look so big anymoooooooore.

Final verse:
If only I step back a little, and see things from different percpectives.
Not struggling to gain things not needed, but struggling to being content.
I'll have the freedom to fly away, quietly whenever I want to.
With only the sky right beside me, and sunset waves lovingly warm.

After You
