Nice one Richard.
That is super acoustic guitar playing - seems like a few different strum patterns were involved. I almost thought there was another guitarist playing with you off camera. Also liked the pauses of the guitar to emphasis the important section of the lyrics. Well done. Jim

Only what’s done in love, will last By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[Am]I’m lying here, and you’re right there
I [C] want to touch you, but baby I ‘m scared
[Am]I see your smile, but your sadness shows
How [C] can we fix this, God only knows
but [F] good things come to those who wait
and I’ll [G] wait for you no [F]matter how long it [C]takes
I’ll [G] wait for you no [F]matter how long it [C]takes

Verse 2
[Am]From the moment we met, yeah,I knew
the [C]reason I breathe and live, is you
[Am]You’re the woman I still dream about
You’re [C] the one love I can’t live without
I [F] know that we were always meant to be,
because [G]in my eyes, you’re [F] the only one I [C] see
'cause [G]in my eyes, you’re [F] the only one I [C] see
.
Chorus
[F]I want to be the one you never doubt
[C] Yeah, the one you just can’t live without
[F]Tell me what it is you want me to do
‘cause [C] this heart is nothing without you
[F]The future so quickly has become the past
Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last
Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last
.
Verse 3
[Am]now I’m tossing and turning most every night
I [C]don’t have an answer to make things right
[Am]Searching for reasons, not much there to find
And [C]a million thoughts wandering through my mind
With [F] fears and tears, words lost under my breath
There’s [G] a part of me that’s [F]getting scared to [C]death
There’s [G] a part of me that’s [F]getting scared to [C]death
.

Let's not forget the band DEEP PURPLE -
great song - " Hush "
Just think if history had somehow twisted language
and instead of people having " the blues" or Musicians
playing " the blues" - instead they had "the purples or played "the purples" ! 
Nobody will remember a specific flower in a garden filled with thousands of the same yellow flower,
But they will remember the one that managed to change its color to purple."
"Yesterday and tomorrow cross and mix on the skyline.
The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets, one waits."
Purple is the last of the rainbow colors

I see it a little different than Peatle.
I am envisioning a self centered Woman that let her ego and self fulfillment get in the way of the relationship. The guy tends to blame himself.
Nice arrangement - interesting lyrics - leaves a lot to imagination.
As usual, the l vocals and guitar playing were superb!
Nice one buddy !!

p.s. in listening to you sing makes me think - holy cow - Phil hasn't sang one of my songs in a couple years.

This song was perfect for you . It sounds great. I I think your voicing was really,really well done, some great pauses which were very effective - just waiting for the "golden voice" to start again!
I sure wish I had your vocal abilities.
Thanks for sharing.

ps thanks for the kind words on my song - unfortunately - it is a sad song lyrically. I actually think it might be my best lyrics.

Topic: Re make of a song (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I re wrote this song... Rock Blues I guess.
There is no chorus ( I don't know if that's allowed ?)
I just figured if Stevie ray was playing it it would be some wild guitar solo
Anyways ... this is the song
Chasing my dreams, hope I never caught by Jim Kenyon
.
Verse 1
.
[E]Never gonna believe everything I’m told
[E]not going to have my [E7]mind controlled
[A]someday I'm gonna break the mold
Let’s[E] hope it happens before I get old
I wanna [B7]party all night, [C7] can't you [B7]see
I[C7]Guess it’s just a [B7]rebel's mentali[E]ty
.
Verse 2
.
[E] don't really care what people are saying
[E] all I wanna hear is the [E7]music that's playing
[A] working all day are the dues that I'm paying
to[E]save this soul needs a whole lot of praying
I might [B7]seem lost but don't ya [C7] give it a [B7]thought
I'm[C7] chasing my dreams [B7], hope I never get [E]caught
.
.Verse 3
.
[E]my future's seems dark, like black on black
[E]But I know it's just some [E7]freedom that I lack
[A]ain't never been no one that cut me some slack
so [E]I'll just go my own way, and never look back
I might [B7]seem kinda crazy [C7] but I'm al [B7]right
let's[C7] have some fun and [B7] party all through the [E] night
.
Repeat 2nd verse
.
[E] don't really care what people are saying
[E] all I wanna hear is the [E7]music that's playing
[A] working all day are the dues that I'm paying
to[E]save this soul needs a whole lot of praying
I might [B7]seem lost but don't ya[C7] give it a [B7] thought
I'm[C7] chasing my dreams [B7], hope I never get [E]caught

I'm[C7] chasing my dreams [B7], hope I never get [E]caught

Very well done - I think there were a few times when you " let go" and sang like the boss! Great guitar playing !
I think if you could have somehow increased the vocal and decreased the guitar it would have enhanced it.
In any case it was a superb rendition o Bruce's song.

Re: Time Whispers - new song (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks for all the comments !
Graham - yes - quite sad - I can't really say why - guess it was just the mood I was in.
Easybeat - I like the lyrics - IDK about being my best, as I can't sing a lick, so it only sounds good in my head.
Peatle - thanks for giving it a go - I always like when others do my songs - it is so interesting
to see how others interpret the lyrics and play the music. I like how you did the chorus - with the walk down !
Phill - Thanks for giving it a look - yeah a bit on the downside - just trying to envision a person
trying to figure out what the heck went wrong in a relationship - and knowing it isn't going to
get fixed.
Thank you all - I will try to get it recorded so you can hear what it sounds like to me.

Time Whispers by Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[C] It feels like we’ve been lost
[C]at sea for months
as I [F] sit in a house, that’s filled
with [C] everything but love
.
[C] who was it that said,
[C]don’t build your house on sand ?
It will [F] crumble in the storms,
‘til there’s [C] nothing left, to speak of
.
Chorus
as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
.
Verse 2
.
[C] Seems that we’ve forgotten
[C] Why our lips have kissed
And how [F] our hearts used to
beat [C] together as one
.
[C] every road is lonely now
[C] every word prays for help
What was [F]once, now is
gone , and [C] the passion’s done
.
Chorus
.
as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
.
Verse 3
.
[C] was it chances afraid to take
[C] promises we didn’t keep
maybe[F] secrets we didn’t share
or words [C] spoken long ago
.
[C] feelings that aren’t the same
[C] hearts with too much ache
Why this [F]love story has to end
I guess [C] we’ll never know
.
Chorus
as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way
