It's perfect Phill

Just the other day I was thinking about how frigging complicated life is now.
This is exactly how I felt - wishing I could somehow go back in time.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Hope you put it out their for us to hear and cherish - and as Peatle says - have a beer and sing along!

One of the best you have written.
That is fantastic !

That line " The spirit of childhood robbed by a moment called now" is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for sharing this - you are quite a "poet laureate!" the one and only loremaster!

Great words man.... lots of really cool stuff in this one.
Is there a reason why the second stanza has 5 lines and the other only four - I was thinking if this was a song maybe it was the chorus ???

Raw emotion captured !
well done

Graham - nice one.

too bad it keeps the world on the brink constantly.

and I listened to this - turned on news and  saw Iran testing missles and the US and Russia heading for another arms race.  There is no end in sight

That is just ridiculously awesome.  If I practiced every day 8 hours a day for 10 years - I couldn't do that.

Some people are soooo talented

Sounds awesome

My spot for all you describe is Topsail Island, NC

It is my Heaven on Earth - and all that you say in this wonderful song is there - I never want to return to real world after being there.

Hope you have a great Vacation in Japan.

That was a brilliant performance.
I have never seen an 8 string guitar - that was pretty unusual.

Perfectly played - such a hauntingly placid song.

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.

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.

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

Peatle
I just went to their (Chicago) concert last summer in Saratoga NY

They were very good. However it was disappointing in how the show was done.
I went expecting them to play all their hits etc......  instead they just played their latest album and a couple of past hits in the encore.
The other band was REO SPEEDWGON - they rocked the house - absolutely amazing.
