Topic: My November song
I wrote this song today - didn't want to break my string of songs using all of the words suggested for song of the month. It was a tougher challenge- but I think it came out okay. ( I even managed to add a few words associated with water not on Jan's list!:)
I will re-submit it in the November SOTM thread when it opens.
Hope you like it..... it is structured a bit different.
Water Love by Jim Kenyon
.
Verse 1
.
[C]My heart is beating faster, as your [G]arms pull me close
If [F]someone’s gonna find you, then you [C]better let them know
our [F] lips meet for the first time, I don’t know [C]why I close my eyes
but it [G]kind of caught me off guard, and [F]took me by sur[C]prise
.
Verse 2
.
[C]For so long now I have felt lost, but [G]now I’m feeling found
my [F]soul feels so free, hard to [C]keep both feet on the ground
Not [F]sure where this is going, but I [C] know how I hope it ends
Like a [G]dream come true, tell me, is [F] this is how love be[C]gins
.
Chorus
.
Seems [F]Love is like water, the foun[C]dation of all life
it be[G]gins with just a drop, like a [F]touch in the [C]night
A gentle [F]mist, a sprinkle, that be[C]comes a summer rain
Just as [G]love keeps on growing, it can [F]drown out any [C]pain
.
Yeah [F]Love is like a river, as it [C]connects the land to the sea
like a [G]stream to a pond, and the [F]joining of you and [C]me
Love can [F] be large like an ocean, always[C] true, never fake
Finding [G] love is so beautiful, like a fall [F]reflection on a [C] lake
.
(Repeat) Verse1
[C]My heart is beating faster, as your [G]arms pull me close
If [F]someone’s gonna find you, then you [C]better let them know
our [F] lips meet for the first time, I don’t know [C]why I close my eyes
but it [G]kind of caught me off guard, and [F]took me by sur[C]prise
.
Verse 3
.
[C] I can’t explain how it feels, but it just [G]puts my mind at ease
I’ve [F]never felt this way before, I’m just[F] floating on the breeze
It’s[F] like watching springtime flowers bloom, or [C] walking on the shore
It’s the [G] first time I’ve been happy, and I [F]couldn’t ask for [C] more
