not for your eyes I'm with you
not for the color of your mouth
not for your body you are my wife
not even for your blissful [*****]

not for your eyes I'm with you
not for the smell of your hair
not for your body you are my wife
darling i want it so much

not that that would be unimportant
not that it doesn't matter
you make life blissful and nice
because of what you do with it

you color life, give it more shine
you brighten me up with your dance
you chase the bad weather away with your smile
you make a bright day

you chase my worries away with your smile
you give life more shine
I love your nice body when you dance
or if you make love to me

i love your blissful body
i like the sound of your name
the world is so much more beautiful with you
the world is more beautiful because of you

The use of that style was interesting (perhaps unexpected), but worked perfectly for your song!

A good clear delivery.

Hee Rob,

Leuk om weer eens iets van je te horen. Is al weer een tijdje geleden.

Je bent een echte troubadour :-).

Nice one, heartfelt and real. Keep them coming!

Thank you very much for l the kind responses on my songs and my returning to the forum.I have health problems. I started with dialysis a year ago. It took a while to feel good enough to produce some songs. But I kept singing with some friends doing stuff like Beatles and Everly brothers. Music helped me get through.

“you chase my worries away with your smile
you give life more shine”

“I like the sound of your name
the world is so much more beautiful with you”

This is a lovely song and the lines above are especially endearing to us.

The band works great with your smooth vocal and we especially enjoyed the accordion and the music box.

Welcome back and we know what you mean about the healing power of music. It can make the sun shine brighter in us.

This is a wonderful song, Rob. Thanks for the translation, although I really like the sound of the Dutch language. Stay well!


Enjoy whatever happens!
