Complete - 06/04/20 04:30 PM
Hey, everybody:
A solo effort this time . . . I had this melody and a written chorus around for a fairly long time, but it lingered lonely without a verse to go with, and I kept coming up empty. I finally pushed myself to finish it off and here’s the result. I don’t typically do love songs—at least not very well. —but I hope this is worth the spin. Thanks for the listen and feedback.
My best to all of you,
Deej
Here’s the song:
COMPLETE
Here are the lyrics:
I thought I saw you first
from across the bar.
You were standing by the window
lit in neon like a star.
And when you said “Hello,”
I played it cool,
but despite all my bravado
I was the boy you saw right through.
You know I just don’t understand it . . .
Sometimes I think you always knew
that you—you’re everything I want,
the only thing I see.
And with you forever in my heart
I know I’ll always be
complete.
Have I been the love
you’ve always dreamed?
Have I given back to you
everything you’ve given me?
And if I’ve fallen short,
just know this much . . .
If I had a million lifetimes
I could never give enough.
You know I’ll never understand it,
just how you love me like you do.
And you—you’re everything I want,
the only thing I see.
And with you forever in my heart
I know I’ll always be
complete.
You know I’ll never understand it;
it don’t matter if I do . . .
and you—you’re everything I want,
the only thing I see.
And with you forever in my heart
I know I’ll always be
complete.
