Topic: My Partner Body and Soul

Just a little song I wrote for my wife. It will be 25 years we since we got married back on the 6th of September, 1982. More sappy stuff from me so sorry for those of you who don't like that kind of music but what can I say. Anyway I hope you all like it.

My Partner Body and Soul By Jeff Gilpin


August 28th, 2007




Intro


[G] [D] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A] [G] [D] [A] [D] [F#] [A] [A7]




Verse 1


I’ll [D]never go a[A]way for long


And I’ll [G]always come right [A]back


For [D]when I’m far a[A]way from you


There’s [G]something that I [A]lack


It’s [F#]like I’m missing [G]part of me


I’m like [F#]something that’s not [G]whole


That [D]drives me back to [A]you again


To my [G]partner [A]body and [D]soul




Verse 2


When [D]first we met I was [A]drifting


Like a [G]ship with no rudder or [A]sail


We [D]braved those waters [A]fearlessly


And now that [G]calmer winds pre[A]vail


We’re [F#]heading to un[G]charted waters


[F#]Ready for whatever may [G]come


On our [D]journey started [A]long ago



That has [G]only [A]just be[D]gun




Bridge


[G]Many years of just [D]getting by


That we [A]laugh at now looking [D]back


We [G]kept our sense of [D]humor all the [A]way


It’s [G]true we shed a [D]tear or two


Yet kept our [A]sanity in[D]tact


So [F#]here we are today and we’re [A]doing o[A7]kay




Music only


[D] [A] [G] [A] [D] [A] [G] [A] [F#] [G] [F#] [G] [D] [A] [G] [A] [D]




Verse 3


So a [D]quarter century’s [A]passed


Since [G]first we said our [A]vows


That [D]bound us to one a[A]nother


But I [G]look at you even [A]now


And I’m [F#]humbled that you [G]found me


And that you [F#]let me find you [G]too


So [D]I’d be honored if you [A]let me spend


The [G]rest of my [A]life with [G]you[A] [D]

Re: My Partner Body and Soul

Jets,
That's really a great song. I've been married for three years. I'm not a romantic, and I'm not really sure what my wife ever found in me. My life has always been filled with violence. When I first met my wife she was the one that asked me out. She asked me out, but I was the one that asked her to marry me. She was insecure about the marriage, since she had been married twice before. I told her that I'd never been married before and I knew that she was the one for me. God sent her into my life. She was my gift from God. As the months pasted by, she finally said yes and we were married on August 23rd., The day after my birthday. We still have our ups and downs, but I believe that we are together because we were ment to be. I look forward to being married for as long as you have. The married life has changed me in many ways, of course I don't have to tell you that.
Congrats to you and your significant other on all your years together.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...

Re: My Partner Body and Soul

Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Ark - Yes I am but most songwriters are romatics don't you think?
Eagleeye - I wasn't a much of anything other than fun loving until I met my wife. She gave me direction, support, and love which is sometimes not so easy over 25 years of marriage. I was lucky and it looks like you are lucky as well. I hope you and your wife have a wonderful marriage. Just don't forget to laugh a lot and forgive when you need to and you'll both do fine.

Re: My Partner Body and Soul

Jets,
Thanks, my wife trys to teach me to laugh, she trys to teach me a lot of things. Me and my wife are a hundred percent opposites. I don't think I could live in and out everyday with someone like me, but to be around those like me every now and again is to be (comfortably numb).
isery loves company. The only thing I'd ever done in my life that had any kind of compassion was when I'd worked toys-for-tots, and that was many years ago. My wife teaches me to laugh, to have compassion and understanding, she teaches me to cry, and so on and so forth. Before my wife came into my life, I could look at death, pain, destruction and the other negatives in life without it bothering me, but now my life has changed considerably. My attitude used to be " I don't need no woman to ruin my life, I can do that all on my on.", but now I'm better off for being married.
My wife is very insecure about the marriage and I'm very confident. She lived a life of having someone else and having a ruined life and I lived a carefree, carless life and having noone. Life for us both has definitely changed.
Life is definitely different.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...

Re: My Partner Body and Soul

Hi Jeff
I've been thinking about what you wrote about being romantic if you write songs.
I'm not sure it's an essential quality. My wife would probally not class me as a romantic and she would be right.
I feel somewhat uncomfotable with overt sentimentality.
I know it works for some and I'm not decrying it at all. It's just not me.
Maybe that's the reason I can't write a decent love song. smile

Regards

Ark
