Topic: "Now I Just Can’t Get You Off My Mind"

This is just a song about how you do not always know how good you’ve got it and sometimes if you are lucky enough you recognize your good fortune before you lose it.

Now I Just Can’t Get You Off My Mind By Jeff Gilpin


April 19th, 2008




Verse 1


[Em]I would have waited a [G]lifetime


[C]Just to spend some time with [Em]you


[Em]If I’d only known you were [G]out there


[C]Waiting to make my dreams come [Em]true [D]




Verse 2


[Em]Lucky for me I fortu[G]nately


[C]Met you pretty early [Em]on


[Em]But it’s taken me a [G]life time


To [C]learn this is where I [Em]belong




Chorus

[D]Some lessons are hard [G]coming


[D]Some come at you over [C]time


[Em]It’s taken me years and years of [G]drubbing


[C]Now I just can’t get you off my [Em]mind [D]




Verse 3


My [Em]moments with you are a [G]pleasure


[C]Moments away spent linge[Em]ring


[Em]Thinking about the greatest [G]treasure


Who [C]I’ve found without looking for a [Em]thing




Verse 4


[Em]How could I not have [G]noticed



[C]Early when we first started [Em]out


[Em]Fortune came to me like I [G]won the lottery


And [C]me an unappreciative [Em]lout




Chorus

[D]Some lessons are hard [G]coming


[D]Some come at you over [C]time


[Em]It’s taken me years and years of [G]drubbing


[C]Now I just can’t get you off my [Em]mind [D]




Verse 5


Through [Em]sheer dumb luck I haven’t [G]blown it


And [C]missed my chance at a lifetime of [Em]bliss


But [Em]life would’ve been better if I’d [G]known it


I’d [C]get back all those moments that I [Em]missed




Verse 6


For[Em]get about those days they’re all [G]over anyways


[C]I can make better use of the ones a[G]head


[Em]Concentrate my time taking [G]snapshots with my mind


So [C]I'll look back in fondness not [Em]dread




Chorus

[D]Some lessons are hard [G]coming


[D]Some come at you over [C]time


[Em]It’s taken me years and years of [G]drubbing


[C]Now I just can’t get you off my [D]mind [Em]

Re: "Now I Just Can’t Get You Off My Mind"

Hey Roger, Daddy and Brad - Thanks very much.

Roger, I'm still in the middle of a recording project I've been working at for awhile now so it might be a while before I get any of my new songs recorded. Now I still am tinkering on my on like I did on First Snow of Winter that's on FoC but I am not quite as good recording on my on as I need to be. If I do you know I will shot it to you first as always.

Thanks

Hey Lena - I'll still record some on a smaller scale. Most likely this weekend I'll try and record a tune or two.
