Topic: I,m Missing You Again

This is my first real song I,ve written since joining Chordie.Feeling down in the dumps last night and came up with this.Its about remembering old times with who ever. Could be your dog or an old friend or an old lover or an old guitar.Yer choice.

I'm Missing You Againby KAP54


                             






I [C]can,t believe how times gone by and [F]where I stand [C]today.


I [F]miss you in the [C]dawns cool light, I [G]miss you in the [G7]early morning.


I [C]struggle to recall the good times,[F]memories that that won,t [C]die.


I [F]hang on to those [C]close to me and I [G]let the sad ones [G7]fly cause I know,


[Am]Yesterday [G]has come and [F]gone.


And I [Dm]fight to keep on holding [G]on.



[Am]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain.


[Am]I,m [G]missing my old [C]friend.


The [F]summer of my [C]life,s going by and [Am]Autumn,s closing [G]in.


And [F]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain.




[C]Images that seem so real still [F]dance inside my [C]mind.


[F]Skipping stones and [C]long walks home,like [G]eagles we could [G7]fly so hi-gh.


[C]Now I bind my memories in a [F]book of times gone [C]by.


I [F]don,t know why they [C]come to me and I[G]knowthey won't [G7]frighten me but,



[Am]Yesterday [G]has come and [F]gone.


A [Dm]shadows glance has moved me [G]along.




[Am]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain.


Yes[Am]I,m [G]missing my old [C]friend.


The [F]summer of my [C]life,s going by and [Am]Autumn,s closing [G]in.


And [F]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain.


Middle Eight


[Am7]To catch a [Am]memory, will [F]tell you who you are.


[Am7]Fleeting [Am]moments, just [F]like a shooting star.


[Am7]Hang on [Am]to, the [F]travels that you,ve made.


Cause with [Dm]time surely your [F]memories will [G]fade.




[Am]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain.


Yes [Am]I,m [G]missing my old [C]friend.


The [F]summer of my [C]life's going by and [Am]Autumn,s closing [G]in.


And [F]I,m [G]missing you a[C]gain

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Hi Kap54.
This song is tinged with sadness.

Sure theres days i feel like the "Last Rose of Summer" faded and jaded. lol
But today aint one of those days. So do as i do , Head out with the Girlettes!
or Lads. Sing a little , dance a little, drink a wee dram, tell a joke, chat with friends.

Its a Good song!
  Now go get buffed and polished and come along with us! lol
guaranteed a laugh!

Re: I,m Missing You Again

"I'm Missing You Again" is now posted at MySpace for those that would like a listen.It was written because I miss my son and the good times we had together when he was younger and how I wish I could see more of him to build more memories.
As all that know me say"In time he will come around" but it's a tough wait.
Enjoy

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Hi Kenny,

You have definitely got the recording bug now it seems. A good recording again and a sad and poignant song which I hope your son has heard, though on re-reading your last post, maybe not, but in time perhaps.

I do not know your situation but time heals and there is a chance if he hears this it will some way towards mending the rift.

Well done,

Roger

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Thanks Roger smile
Nothing too serious with my son  In time he will come around, I hope sooner than later.

Thanks for the comments.
Been concentrating on figuring out recording and my singing sad so now it's time to write something for Russells contest.I'm guessing there are lots of entries with an Oct 1 deadline.
Kenny

Hey Stretch smile
Thanks for the accept at MySpace.

Things are OK here other than the sound of my singing. lol
Looking forwards to reading and hearing more from you.

Thanks Again
Kenny

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Thank You George smile

I have wondered if when someone is listening to anyones songs they actually listen for the meaning of the song. Other than the Chordie members that is.
Thanks Again and I am very glad that you enjoy my writing style and can hear past my vocals. smile

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Hey kap
I think we all have something in the past that we all miss. Change is sometimes hard to take especially with your children as they grow older.
Anyway good song and lyrics...

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Thanks Ark smile
True enough. It's one of those things that we don't forsee as a child growing up so it's tough to prepare for, even though we've had time.
Thanks Again

Re: I,m Missing You Again

De nada, Kenny. (This is ironic, considering Chris was Argentinian- that's the Spanish for "You're welcome"- literally "It's nothing.") Linguistics lesson over with- it's a great song.

Re: I,m Missing You Again

If we all stuck to writing, there'd be nobody to sing our songs. We need to learn to appreciate our own voices. smile

Re: I,m Missing You Again

I really like this one Ken. Love the strings or what ever it is in the back ground there.

Re: I,m Missing You Again

Hey Shady...
Thanks for the vocal encouragement. I'll try and remember it on the next one.

Kenny


Hi Selso,
Glad you enjoyed it. The strings were done off my Yamaha PSR2000 a great keyboard with lots of toys built in.

I'll give you an Email later to see how things are as I don't want to keep bringing this thread back up.

Kenny

Hi Phill

Yup ... I crawled out of the woodwork again :-) I'm gonna try and hang around longer this time around.
I'm glad you liked it but it really does make me cringe when I hear it. I'm gonna redo it someday when I get a little gooder in the mix and vocal department.
Thanks Again
Kenny


Hi mightmouseplaysguitar!...That's quite the handle you got there. I've been gone a bit so I'd like to say welcome to Chordie. Lots of great info and people on board here. Looking forwards to hearing some of your own tunes.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for bringing it back up.

Kenny
