Dear "Sir" Shigeki Adachi... smile

I have fallen so "head-over-heels" in love with your luxuriously dreamy and romantic song, "Coffee Talk", that I literally haven't been able to get it out of my mind, or my heart. Ever since I first listened to it, I've been walking around in a glorious haze of golden, childhood nostalgia. It has also inspired me to compose lyrics for it.

The singer I had in mind as I was writing is Jack Jones, whose warm and aching version of the song, "Dear Heart", by Henry Mancini, Ray Evans, and Jay Livingston, for the 1965 film of the same name, filled my innocent, little-boy heart with powerful and perplexing feelings that I was too young to understand, but also very nearly brought me to tears, as it was such a sweet and tender song to hear.

The style of the lyric is admittedly sentimental and old-fashioned, but, then again, so is your lovely music, and that's a good thing, right?!

Verse 1

The morning sunlight clears the mist
And like the memory of a kiss
The dream I had of you persists
Bright as the bracelet on your wrist

Verse 2

I lie alone upon our bed
The scent of you around my head
And at the door I hear you knock-ing
You serve coffee, and we talk…

Chorus

And, oh, the thoughts, and feelings
You share, are so appealing
Time flies by, and soon I’ll have to go
But not before I say I love you so!

Verse 3
Forgive me, but I must complain
A day away from you brings pain
Beyond my desk the windowpane
Is blurred by tears of gentle rain

Verse 4

The hours pass so slowly, dear
That I can’t wait to have you near
When I come home, the door’s unlock-ing
Then we sip coffee, while we talk…

Inspirationally,
