Topic: If I see you in another way ( original tape )

If I see you in another way

Slow ballad

Intro

Verse 1

All the time,you were there,
can't understand why,I did'nt run to you,
I miss-treated your trust,I can lie no more,
Is it to late?,I'm so confused,

Chorus

If I could see you in another way,
Would you hold me in your arms,
If I could see you in another way,
Would you let me stay,
would my devotion make the difference,
would your tears fade away,
would it bring a smile to your face,
If I see you in another way,
In a different way-----

Verse 2

Love is a strange emotion,
Sometimes you dont know its th-e-re,
Please don't walk away,I need you to stay-,
Give me the chance,to show you i can care

Chorus repeat

Bridge

I was wrong,this life belongs to a fool.
Will you forgive me,say that you do,
Cos i can't stand the thought of living without you.


Chorus repeat to end

Lyrics by Trevor Scrivens 20/12/88

I wrote these lyrics back in 1984,I had just met the mother of my children,but was also seeing another girl i had grown up with, anyway to cut along story short. I felt guilty and told her I was sleeping with this other girl,she cried n cried & that's when I wrote this for her and got it made into a song,we ended up staying together for 13 years and had 3 children,I got someone to write the melody and arrange it for me,but have long lost the score,
moving from home to home,if anyone on chordie would like to put this lyric to music i would love to hear from you.
The original was in the key of G then modulated to Ab on the chorus,But you can do it how you like.

Hard times create strong men,Strong men create good times,Good times create weak men,Weak men create hard times.Cantwere rice INVICTA!

Cheers daddycool,but I'm looking for a richer arrangement of chords,not just Majors. If you have any ideas,feel free to post again.

Thanks anyway,much appreciated smile

HI Trevor, Not very often I take a stab at something of this nature. If it's is still open I wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. smile It might take me a while but I get an Elton John kinda ballad from your words.
Let me know... and nice lyrics Laddie smile
