Topic: The Mystery of You

Jase got me thinking about how much of a mystery women are to me. This mystery can be looked upon as bad, good or downright exasperating in some cases. I usually like to think of it as a good mystery at least it is for the woman I’ve lived with for over half my life. So I hope you all like the song.

The Mystery of You By Jeff Gilpin


January 15th, 2008




Verse 1


The [D]greatest


Myste[Daug]ry


In my [Dsus]life


One I [D7]doubt I’ll ever [G]solve


Is the [A]mystery of [D]you [A]




Verse 2


[D]Standing still


Yet spinning [Daug]round


You’re in my [Dsus]head


I [D7]doubt I’ll ever get you [G]out of there


That’s a [A]mystery so [D]true [D7]






[G]Sitting here alone thinking of [D]you


[A]A smile has [G]grown upon my [D]face


[G]You’re set in your ways until the [D]end of days [D7]


And [E]I’ll be with you as long as I can [A]keep on going strong [A7]


Verse 3


Shake my [D]head


At what you [Daug]said


How’d you get [Dsus]that


I [D7]can’t figure this one [G]out


Add more to the [A]mystery to [D]you [A]





Verse 4


Smiling [D]eyes


Tilted [Daug]chin


Can’t look a[Dsus]way


Another [D7]treasured moment fades a[G]way from me


But not the [A]mystery of [D]you [D7]






[G]Sitting here alone thinking of [D]you


[A]A smile has [G]grown upon my [D]face


[G]You’re set in your ways until the [D]end of days [D7]


And [E]I’ll be with you as long as I can [A]keep on going strong [A7]


Verse 5


Close my [D]eyes


I see [Daug]you


Close my [Dsus]ears


I [D7]hear your laughter as I [G]fade to sleep


And dream the [A]mystery that’s [D]you [A]




Verse 6


Then I [D]wake


There you [Daug]are


Still [Dsus]sleeping


While I [D7]count my lucky [G]stars again


For the [A]mystery of [G]you [D]

Lovely song Jets,

Every woman on the planet wants to love and be in love with a Man like you.

Take a bow Sir!

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: The Mystery of You

I guess everyone who ever lived with or loved a woman knows how you feel.  You just put it into words for us all!

Lovely!

I'm the son of rage and love

Re: The Mystery of You

Sometimes it seems males and females are completely different species.
Perhaps it's some kind of cosmic joke that we have this urge to pair-bond.
After 20+ years of marriage, I am still often mystified by my goddess.

Beautifully said, Jeff.

Hey James - Thanks.

The old Maurice Chevalier song from Gigi, Thank Heaven for Little Girls, sums it up pretty well.
