Okay, here’s my Valentine’s Day song I plan on giving my wife in a day or so shared first with all my chordie friends.

A Yard Apart By Jeff Gilpin


February 12th, 2008




Verse 1


[Bm]Our hearts are beating a yard a[G]part


[D]All through the night when I [A]start


To [Bm]think about how near I [G]am


To the [D]heart I’ve pledged to always [A]stand




Chorus

[G]Beside until the [D]end


[A]My lover and my [Bm]friend


The [G]one who won my [A]heart


A yard a[Bm]part [A]




Verse 2


I [Bm]never seem to know your [G]mind


And [D]you’d think that after all this [A]time


[Bm]I’d have finally figured you [G]out


And [D]know everything a[A]bout





Chorus

My [G]timeless confi[D]dant


I [A]have and yet have [Bm]not


[G]Even begun to [A]start


A yard a[Bm]part [A]




Verse 3


I’ve [Bm]stopped trying but still I [G]do


[D]Try my best to keep up with [A]you


[Bm]What you’re thinking I still don’t [G]know


But [D]I’ll keep tagging along even [A]so




Chorus

[G]Just a simple [D]man


[A]Doing the best I [Bm]can


To [G]love you with all my [A]heart


A yard a[Bm]part

Re: "A Yard Apart"

Jeff,
   Congratulations on another fine, well-written song. I like the dual meaning of "a yard apart". I know from your explanation that this song is for your wife and your feelings for her. But for the uninformed listener, one might see it as a story about a person that has the hots for a neighbor that lives, "one yard apart."And the pledge you write of in the first verse could be a private pledge to oneself. Hey, it's just my wacky thought process. You have a magical way with words and your arrangements are always solid. Fantastic !

ps-Please send my well wishes and gratitude to your son.

Give everything but up.

Re: "A Yard Apart"

Hey Toney - Thank you very much. I didn't catch that hidden meaning but see it now. My son had me arrainge to get flowers to his girlfriend on Valentines Day so I think he's doing well. Take care.
