This song I wrote back in 2014 and is very nostalgic. I wrote it in the style of the 1950's Doo-Wop that groups like The Platters, The Orioles, The Teenagers, The Five Satins were singing at the time. I always wanted to write one in that genre and here it is. Charlie sang it well and played the harmonica. Sounds very early Beatle as well. I also made a video for it on YouTube soon!

So close your eyes and grab your loved one and let me transport you back to the 1950's for a little American graffiti and enjoy! Thanks for listening!

“SILHOUETTE”

HERE I AM,
HANGING ON,
EVERY WORD THAT YOU SAY,  
WHILE YOU PLAY,
WITH YOUR CIGARETTE,
              
THERE I GO,
WISHING THAT, 
MAYBE YOU’LL NOTICE ME THERE, 
AS YOU STARE, 
AT MY SILHOUETTE,   

FOR I KNOW,
I HAVEN’T A GHOST OF A CHANCE,
I KNOW,  
YOU’LL NEVER INVITE ME TO DANCE,
NO SWEET ROMANCE,
DON’T STAND A CHANCE,
TO SHARE A DANCE WITH YOU,          

WHEN WILL I, 
EVER LEARN, 
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN DON’T SEE,   
FOOLS LIKE ME, 
I’M A SILHOUETTE,         
 
FOR I KNOW,
I HAVEN’T A GHOST OF A CHANCE,
I KNOW,  
YOU’LL NEVER INVITE ME TO DANCE,
NO SWEET ROMANCE,
DON’T STAND A CHANCE,
TO SHARE A DANCE WITH YOU, 

NO SWEET ROMANCE,
DON'T STAND A CHANCE,
TO SHARE A DANCE WITH YOU,
NO, NO SWEET ROMANCE,
DON'T STAND A CHANCE,
I'M A SILHOUETTE.
