Topic: Special You! Song.

This is for you "Bheilin Meala Óg! Sonás Ort! { Happiness to You }
Song:
Special You.      Words/Melody    Helena Donovan. “07

Hi All, this song has been recorded. I have changed the melody slightly since
recording as i felt it was a bit monotonous. But only after the recording! So
FOC:http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie

Thank You for listening.
 

[G]                              [Em]
Your understanding  ways
[A]                                 [D]    [D7]
Touched deep inside of me
[G]
Soothing all my senses
[C]      [D7]                 [G]
Like falling Autumn leaves.

[G]                                      [Em]
Emotions trapped  love was pain
[A]                     [D]   [D7]
No future did I see
[G]                                                             
In this dark mess you
[C]                [D7]            [G]
Turned the light on for me.

Chorus.
[C]     [D7]              [G]
Heart cries  only I could hear
      [A]           [D]   [D7]   
Echoed in my life 
  [G]                                         [Em]
Erased by you with words of hope
         [C]    [D7]           [G]     
You cared about my pride.

[G]                                     [Em]
  Times the need I feel to touch
[A]                        [D]
Is stronger then a greed  {D7]
[G]
To tenderly enfold you to
[C]        [D7]            [G]
Thank you for your deeds.

[G]                                           [Em]
Hold tightly to the vows you  made
[A]                              [D]     [D7]
Real love can hold so long 
[G]
I will  keep you with me
[C]        [D7]                       [G]
"Special You" your still my  song.

Repeat last line...

Well done and take care.

Re: Special You! Song.

Hi Helena,

A beautiful song from you, as Badeye said and I have said before you do have a wonderful way with words. I think that you should record this one (mind you I think everyone should record their songs so that is nothing new) but I think that this could be quite special. Well done.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Special You! Song.

Old Doll,
This song is gorgeous. After reading it I felt a warmth inside and a sense of appreciation for my "Special One". You are hugely talented, thanks for sharing your gift with us. I'm getting a Joni Mitchell vibe stylistically with your poetry. Hope that's a compliment to you, it was meant to be.

Ciao Bella,

Re: Special You! Song.

Old Doll, a song with one or two great lines is wonderful - this one is chock full of beautifully turned phrases and lovely imagery.  Wow - please record it and post to your MySpace page.  James
