Topic: Meant To Be

LOL - we got 18" of snow today so I was housebound a lot. ( Must be I got the idea from Jeff, a la " Waiting for the snow to com"  )  smile
Picked up my  Martin 6 string and came up with this little country song.
Hope you like it.

Meant To Be By  Jim  Kenyon


[G]I remember it only took a second,for me to notice you


And it [C]only took a couple more minutes,before I [G]knew


It only[C] took an hour to know, I'd never want to let you [G] go


And by the [D]end of the night, I was [C] so in love with [G]you.


.




[G]I remember I took you by the hand and lead the way


You let me [C]draw you near and hold you ever so [G]tight


as we [C]danced, I softly whispered sweet words in your[G] ear


and I will [D]never forget our [C]first loving kiss that[G] night


.




Chorus


now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right


to[C]morrow is a chance for today's dream to come [G]true


and I [C]know that yesterday is but today's memo[G]ry


oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be


I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be





.




[G]It all happened so fast, it sure seemed just like a dream


And now [C]every time we’re together, I feel so com[G]plete


I love [C] everywhere we’ve been , and I love where we [G] are


and I can’t [D]wait for tomorrow to[C] see where our love will [G] be


.




Chorus


now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right


to[C]morrow is a chance for today's dream to come [G]true


and I [C]know that yesterday is but today's memo[G]ry


oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be


I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be


oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be


oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be

Re: Meant To Be

Thanks Jeff !
I guess I owe it to you for the inspiration - just followed your example   - snowstorm = songwriting session!  smile

If you do play it - send me a copy.

Re: Meant To Be

Nice work, once again TIG ... you're our resident "love ballad writer", and you always remind me that being crusty and grumpy is not manly. So it's now time for the "Man's Prayer", courtesy of Red Green and the Possum Lodge members:

Re: Meant To Be

Your words remind me of the night I met Ann. The rest goes without saying. The saddest thing must be a break up of a relationship, in my friends and family which includes my pals on Chordie. But the greatest feeling in this world has to be life long love between two people, and once again Jim, you've captured that in your words. Keep them coming.     

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