Topic: {t:BECAUSE I LOVE YOU}

A SONG FOR MY WIFE, IT'S ON MY SPACE, JUST CLICK THE WEBSITE LINK

{t:BECAUSE I LOVE YOU}...
{st:PHILL WILLIAMS}

BECAUSE I [a] LOVE YOU, I WILL [bm]GIVE UP THE LIFE I [a] LIVE
BECAUSE I [a] LOVE YOU, YOU SHALL [bm] HAVE ALL I'VE GOT TO [a] GIVE
AND IF IT'S bm7] NOT ENOUGH THAT I [a] CHANGE MY WAYS
THEN I'LL [em] MOVE THE SUN AND HAVE [f#m] LONGER DAYS
BECAUSE I [a] LOVE YOU...

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, THE WINTER BECOMES THE SPRING
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, THERE ARE KISSES WITH EVERYTHING
AND IF IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT I TURN YOU ON
THAT I GIVE YOU LOVE AND YOU ARE THE ONE
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU...

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, HEAVEN IS HERE ON EARTH
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, I WON'T EVER LET YOU BE HURT
AND WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE AND THE FEELING IS GONE
WHEN THEY'VE GIVEN UP TRYING TO CHANGE US
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU...
{/song}
I noticed as I was doing this one that I started writing it in 1978, but I cant leave well enough alone, so every now and then I dig songs out and change a word, or a line or maybe a whole verse etc. This is not country I dont think...correct me if I'm wrong.
PS.  I'M GIVING UP ON THIS CHORDPRO THINGY

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: {t:BECAUSE I LOVE YOU}

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and tolerance. it's an old recording of an older song.
Ode To The Cruel Heart, thats a very curious handle? It's nice to meet new members [new to me at least], hope to see some of your work soon, and hear from you again.

say chilled you all

Re: {t:BECAUSE I LOVE YOU}

Thanks Helena,

My grandmother was a big influence in my life as was my mother who instilled in me the love of music and singing. Did you hear Maggie Coulter? I based the character on my gran, not the fact that Maggie was a "lady of the road" but her personality which was a very strong woman, as all the women who have meant anything in my life.

The Welsh word for grandmother is MAMGU pronounced "mamgee" I used to call her mungu "mungee" which led me to Maggie, the Coulter part I had to search for to get the right rhythm.

I digress...sorry `bout that.

Phill

Hi Phil,
Yes i wondered about the "Coulter". So  no relation to "The Famous  Phil Coulter" ?

Or one of my favourite Authors, "Ann Coulter" Ah Shucks!

I jest lol
