Topic: When You Were My World

Just a simple song about the love i have for the women in my life, first my mother, then my wife i'll have later down the road, and then to my daughter i hope to have one day.   I'm twenty but the last two in the song will have to wait for now.                 
             Please Tell me what you think....

When You Were My WorldCopywrite: Blake Stitcher


 


Intro: D,  A,  D7,  G,  Gm,  D,  A7,  D


 


Verse 1:


[D] I learned to crawl, then I [A] learned to walk, I [D7] learned




to cry fore’ [G]I could talk,




I was [Gm] standing on top of the [D]world ,And only [E7] two


feet [A7]high.


You were [D]always there with a [A] helping hand, And [D7]


pullin’ me up to [G]help me stand,


And [Gm]always trying to [D]teach me,[E7]Right from [A]wrong.


 


Bridge1:


But [Bm]time wore on and I [G]got a little older,


But your [D]hand was always there for me [A7]high up on my shoulder


 


Chorus:


When you were my [D]world[A]and [D7] all I’d ever [G] need


The [Gm] one I’d love for-[D]-everand the [E7] only one for [A7] me


To [D] wrap my arms [A] around to [D7]hold you so I could [G]say


You are my [Gm] world, my [D] everything, my [A7]night and my [D]day.


 


Verse 2:


I got big and went off to school,  I made some friends and




thought I was cool,




Living on top of the world again, And loving the college life.




I met a girl and we fell in love, She was all that I could think of





And we’ve been together For about three years now.


 


Bridge 2:


Then one night at a local restaurant,


I popped the big question and told her how I felt,   


 


Chorus2:


(Cause she was) my world       and all I’d ever need


The one I’d love forever  and the only one for me


To wrap my arms around to hold you so I could say


You are my world, my everything, my night and my day.


 


Verse 3:


Two years went by and I found out,  what being a dad was all about




Dirty smelling diapers at times was more than I could take.




But my little girl with ribbons pink, is always telling me what she thinks




And holdin’ daddy’s hand is still the coolest thing.


 


Bridge 3:


But time wore on and you got a little older,


But my hand was always there for you high up on your shoulder



Chorus 3:


Cause you are my world world      and all I’ll ever need


The one I’ll love forever  and the only one for me


To wrap my arms around to hold you so I could say


You are my world, my everything, my night and my day.

Hi Blake!  Such a lovely song - beautifully conceived and executed.  Like the chords since they seem to lend themselves to a whimsical yet bittersweet melody line.

When our daughter was first dating and beginning to learn about boys (not that there is a whole lot to know) my wife would always ask her "Does he love his Mamma?"  Seems silly, but in my wife's wisdom, she knows that any young man who has a healthy relationship with his mother is probably going to be a nice fellow.

From reading this song, I'm guessing you love your Mamma - and that she knows that.  Congratulations for a very nifty song.  Hope to her you sing it.  James

Hi Rooster3,
Nothing simple about those words!
It gave me the image of My own Sons as wee ones!.

Also the image of Baby pink Ribbons, and  a little girls love for her Dad.
