Topic: Then You'll Walk On. new song

This is in waltz time. It's a mix of conversations we've had here and my own experiences. hope you like it.

Then You'll Walk On.Undefined


[C] We can dance till the [G] end of the [F] night.


We can [C] kiss when the [G] moment seems [F] right.


We can [Am] do what we [G] want to.


[Dm] Do what we [F] want [G] tonight.




[C] We can walk in the [G] halo of street [F] lamps.


We can [C] stroll through the [G] park in the [F] rain.


We can [Am] do what we [G] want to.


[Dm] Do what we [F] want [G] tonight.




[Ab] Tonight – we'll be young [Ebm] lovers [Bbm] again.


[F#] Laughing and [Ab] playing.


As [F#] we did all [Ab] those years [Db] ago.


And [Dm] though we wont [G] know it.


[Dm] We'll fall in [G] love all over [C] again.


We can [C] dance and [G] hold each other [F] tight.



When the [C] music stops [G] playing we'll [F] smile.


You will [Am] do what you [G] want to.


[Dm] Do what you [F] want [G] tonight.


(SOLO; F-G-C-Am|F-G-C|| F-G-C-Am| F-G-C||




We had [C] dreams years [G] ago at the [F] start.


Till a [C] time came where [G] we fell [F] apart.


You can [Am] do what you [G] want to.


[Dm] Do what you [F] want [G] tonight.




[Ab] Go back to [Ebm] him if you [Bbm] must.


You [F#] loved me for a [Ab] reason.


[F#] Maybe [Ab] never [Db] again.


When the [Dm] music stops [G] playing.


[Dm] You'll smile and [G] then you'll walk [G] on.

This is beautiful, Phill! I think you probably remembered I like 3/4 time for some songs and having not yet heard you play it, I can hum it to myself in my head. Please let us know when and where it's posted, because I'm anxious to hear you perform it. I loved every line, although the ending did take me aback a little. You cheeky devil! smile

Re: Then You'll Walk On. new song

there is a little twist in the tale. glad you like it. i'm waiting for a friend of mine to add a harmonica which he said would sound good, he's also a great guitarist so he may add a solo...

Phill
Brilliant Lyrics !
Love the ending - but you made the assumption she walks on....... maybe not !

I don't know how to play 3/4 time  so I will wait for your version.

Way to go my friend.... knocked i to the Moon !

Nice work, Phill, once again ... good lyrics which evoke vivid images, and warm yet sad thoughts.

Re: Then You'll Walk On. new song

thanks everyone for having a read and passing on your great reviews. this began as a happy song, one day. i went back to it a few days later and the sadder part came out. there's a story line in coronation street (a British soap) at the moment about a wimp of a guy trying to put his marriage back on track. having been there, i know it's piddling against the wind, hence the end part!
i found it's no good living on dreams and hoping for the best, the only way forward is by starting a new page.

and anyway....songs write themselves

Thanks Jandle, it's sitting on my hard drive at the moment waiting to get finished, along with several others! But your request is noted.
