Topic: The First song I wrote but the second song I posted

Okay, I broke the ice with the song about my daughter moving away so here is the first song I wrote for my wife earlier this year on Valentines Day. Kind of mushy but definitely from the heart (and went over big with the wife)...Hope you all like it.

I Love About You Jeff Gilpin - 02/14/2007


Your [Am]smile when least [F]expected


can [C]take my breath [G]away.


You [Am]transport me from [F]thoughts disconnected


to [C]thoughts of a brand new [G]day.


[Em]You don’t know you have this [F]power


that’s [C]what I [G]love about [Am]you.




[Am]Some days you get so [F]angry.


It’s [C]like you expect much [G]more.


But your [Am]expectations [F]inspire me


Inspi[C]ration that I a[G]dore.


[Em]You don’t know you drive me [F]higher


another [C]thing I [G]love about [Am]you.





[E7]I’m not sure how I [Am]got so lucky [E7]in just meeting [Am]you.


[E7]How on earth you [Am]joined me and [Dm]made my dream come true. [G7]


I’ll [F]count every day that [C]we have together


[F]Pray our moments can [C]last forever


[F]Dedicate my life to [C]always treasure


[F]always [C]treasure [G7]you.[Am]


You [Am]look at me with a [F]different eye


[C]you see a different [G]me


[Am]You see me doing the [F]best that I can


And [C]not caring who can [G]see.


[Em]You don’t know it’s you that I [F]do it all for


Another [C]things I [G]love about [Am]you.


[Em]With you my life has meant much [F]more...


Another [C]thing I [G]love about [Am]you

Hey there jets60 - another song straight from the heart!  Very well said - she must be thrilled with what she has inspired.  Hope she has bragged about it to all her friends!  James

Thanks James - She shared a little but mostly kept it to herself. Now I have to figure out something else to write about. I have a few ideas for other songs but nothing on paper yet.

Hi Jeff,


Another fine song from you. You really must have been in good books with your dearly beloved for that one (I hope it has not worn off yet). I enjoyed singing it, well done.

Re: The First song I wrote but the second song I posted

If you have a few ideas - then by all means get something on paper!  Just scribble down the word or phrase that struck as "an idea".


Have a notebook or a shoebox full of scrap paper to keep all these potential songs or lines.  Often, I find that something I jotted down in the past can be the germ of another song, or it can be helpful in finishing something that I have started.


Good ideas (and not-so-good ideas) will evaporate into thin air unless you have some way of preserving them.  Also, getting into the habit of jotting ideas makes it easier to recognize an idea that is staring you right in the face!
