Song I wrote in response to a post in SOTM

Hope you like it...... and I hope it's good enough that someone with musical talent (which I sorely lack ) could
give it a go.

Thanks in advance

Easybeat

for me it isn't  -   I just figured it included Christmas and all the days leading up to it and the New Year following.

There is only one reason for the season !

Peatle  A very meaningful song - the lyrics are terrific ! I think you sounded great as well.  Happy Holidays to you and Maree !!

I saw this on X (twitter)

I don't know if it's real -  but if it is it is some incredible guitar playing.

Thank you for those kind words.

Phill

Thank you also - I tried to make that song leave a little mystery as to who the woman is he is referring to.

I wish I had as much musical talent as you have in your left pinkey - its 50x more than i now have.  smile


It's frustrating to be able to write, but not sing or play well enough to do justice to the  lyrics.

Oh well, I enjoyed the writing part enough to keep on keeping on !


Thanks again

Jim     

Wrote it for the SOTM - but thought I'd post here as well

Her Voice Again by Jim Kenyon

[G]I went down to the river, I was feeling kinda down


I [C] couldn’t find no friends, there was, [G]no one around


[G]tried to think of something happy, but [C]nothing came to mind


Then [D] I thought I heard a familiar voice,[C] coming from be[G]hind


.


Verse 2




[G]That voice was and still is, my favorite sound to hear


Sounds [C]just like an angel, whispering [G] softly in my ear


[G]But when I turned to see her face, [C] ya’ know she wasn’t there


So I [D] closed my eyes and saw her, with[C] flowers in her[G] hair




.




Chorus


.




She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day



[C]keep a song in your heart, it’ll [G]keep your troubles away


[C]know that through love, you can do [G]anything you try


So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you[G] by




.


Verse 3


[G] The river kept on rollin’, like the years since she’s been gone


The [C]memories come flooding back, as the [G] water rolls along


[G]I watched the water shimmering, like the [C]sparkle in her eyes


but [D ]then her voice begins to whisper, a [C] soft and sweet [G]goodbye






.


chorus

She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day

So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you [G] by
