Catchy little tune I wrote about my wife. I finally put some words to it.  I had a shorter version on here earlier - but added a verse - so I re recorded it.
I wish my recording stuff was better ( just a cheesy mic and my computer)
Here are the chords and Lyrics - hope you like it
[G]Walking down the [Cmaj7]street, just as [G]happy as can [Cmaj7] be
Not a [G]trouble in the [Cmaj7]world,  as [D]far as I can [G]see
[G]What can it [Cmaj7] be  you ask, that [G]makes me feel this [Cmaj7] way ?
It’s the [G]girl I love and [Cmaj7] dream about [D]every [G] day

[G]  [Cmaj7]   [G]  [Cmaj7]  
[G]  [Cmaj7]   [D]   [G]


[G] The first time I [ Cmaj7] saw her, I   [G] knew she was the [Cmaj7] one
And [G] every time I’m [Cmaj7]with her she  [D]fills  my life with [G]love
[G]It’s the way she laughs, the [Cmaj7]way she cares, the[G] way she moves my [Cmaj7]heart
The [G]way I always [Cmaj7]feel so sad when[D] ever we’re a[G]part


{soc}
She’s the [D]star’s in my sky, the[C] twinkle in my eye
She’s the [G]song in my heart and the love of my life
She’s the [D] first thing I think of in the [C]morning’s light
And  the [G]  last thing I’m thinking of [D]every  [G]night
{eoc}

[G]Her smile  lifts me [Cmaj7]up, and  [G]on my bad [Cmaj7] days
Her [G]touch is my [Cmaj7]sunshine, when my [D] skies are [G]grey
Her voice is the [Cmaj7] song that puts a [G]smile on my [Cmaj7] face
Her [G] love and her [Cmaj7] kindness are  my [D] saving [G] grace

{soc}
She’s the [D]star’s in my sky, the[C] twinkle in my eye
She’s the [G]song in my heart and the love of my life
She’s the [D] first thing I think of in the [C]morning’s light
And  the [G]  last thing I’m thinking of [D]every  [G]night{eoc}

She’s the [D] first thing I think of in the [C]morning’s light
And  the [G]  last thing I’m thinking of [D]every  [G]night

Last Thing I Think Of Every Night-

Song about how important every day is - ain't no promises on time for anyone !

Jim Kenyon - Last Time.MP3

This is a song I wrote about a someone who was trying to get  over being hurt in a relationship and fall in love again. I was also inspired b/c I had just read a great book called Leaders by General Stanley McChrystal in which he portrayed the great courage of Martin Luther - hence the title - Here I Stand.
It is performed by Jim Cristaldi of Nashville.
Hope you like it.
Here are the lyrics


Here I Stand


[Em]There’s no place to hide to ease my pain, like [G] running down the road in a pouring rain
[D]embraced by the shadow of soft moonlight, l’m [Em] looking for someone to make this right
[Em]They tell me that wisdom comes over time, and [G]just have faith in this heart of mine
[D] I can’t wait no longer, I need help now, gotta [Em] find a love and sur[D]vive some[Em]how
.
Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand 
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand, I’m [Em]looking for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
.
Verse 2
[Em]Thinking about the day when the ache is gone, it’s the [G] dream that I’ve been working on
[D]I’ve searched my soul, looking for answers, I [Em]hear the music but I’ve got no dancers
[Em]Hoping for a lover to keep me warm, and [G]bring me some shelter from this storm
[D]There’s no telling what tomorrow brings, but [Em]I want to be somebody's [D]every [Em] thing
Bridge
[Am]so here I stand..........waiting for a sign
[Em] here I stand.........put your lips on mine
[Am]here I stand ............. needing something new
and [B7] here I stand............. waiting [Am]for a love like [Em]you

{c:solo through the chords again into the chorus...}

Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand 
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,  I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land


{c: outgo, little slower.... }

[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,  I’m [Em]waiting for a trip to the[D] promised [Em]land
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,  I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land

{c: Slow ending}
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me [D]by the [Em]hand 

[D]  no matter how long it takes, I'm gonna [Em] stand til I’ve reached the [D] promised [Em]and.

Jim Kenyon - Here I Stand

A song I wrote - I don't really want to describe what it's about - it can mean a lot of things to different people I think. the volume level for some reason is screwy - if you use headphones you can hear it fine.
These are the words and chords - sorry for my poor ability to pay or sing :)

The Girl In The Calico Dress


[G]It was just a Sunday [D]morning like [C] all the ones be[G]fore
Nothing unfa[D]miliar, nothing [C]less and nothing more
There were [G]no signs, no [D]secrets, [C]nothing to cause alarm
There was [G]no indi[D]cation,  she was [C]meant any [G]harm
.

[G]Time is so my[D]sterious, it’s [C]spellbound, and passes[G] by
It can it leave you [D]helpless, or [C] leave you asking why
There were[G] no poems [D]or songs, no [C]cryptic notes around
with no [G]answers to the [D]questions asked,no[C] reasons can be [G]found
.


Chorus
[C]She always looked so pretty when she [G]wore that calico dress
Oh her [D]eyes of blue, and lips so sweet, her [C]hair a red hot[G] mess
Yea she [C]stole my heart long ago, when she [G]took me by the hand
and [D]whispered sweet rhymes to me , only [C]she could under[G]stand

[C]she’s no longer with me Lord,  [G]she’s in a better place
But I [D]still hear her laughter, see the[C] lines upon her [G]face
yea the [C]truth is, I miss her so, oh [G] that I must confess
And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress 
.


[G] I remember her first [D]smile, first [C] time I saw her[G] eyes
But sometimes the[D]warning signs are [C]so hard to recognize
There were [G], no fore[D]warnings  no [C]hints of the gathering storm   
And it’s [G]left me in this [D] cold world, with just [C] memories to keep me [G]warm

.

Chorus
[C]She always looked so pretty when she [G]wore that calico dress
Oh her [D]eyes of blue, and lips so sweet, her [C]hair a red hot[G] mess
Yea she [C]stole my heart long ago, when she [G]took me by the hand
and [D]whispered sweet rhymes to me ,only [C]she could under[G]stand

[C]she’s no longer with me Lord,  [G]she’s in a better place
But I [D]still hear her laughter, see the[C] lines upon her [G]face
yea the [C]truth is, I miss her so, oh [G] that I must confess
And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress 

.

And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, [C]who wore the calico [G]dress 
I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress 
How I [D]wish I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress
