HE WALKS IN THE ROOM
LIKE HE'S HUNG THE MOON
THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES TELLS ME GIRL

THAT OUR TIME IS DONE
ITS OVER AND GONE
GOODBYE TO WHAT WE HAD IN THIS WORLD

AINT NOTHING LEFT THERE
IN YOUR HEART FOR ME
BUT IN MINE YOULL ALWAYS BE

THAT STAR IN THE SKY
THAT MOUNTIAN TO CLIMB
THAT BLUE RIVER BEND

THAT BURN IN MY HEART
THAT FIRE THAT YOU STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN
MAYBE I CAN BE HAPPY IN THIS WORLD
NOW THAT YOUR NOT IN MINE
LOVING YOU IS AWAYS ON MY MIND


OUR BED IT LIES COLD
NO LOVING IT HOLDS
JUST MEMORYS LOST IN TIME

A LOVE THAT HAS DIED
LIKE SHIPS IN THE NIGHT
WE FLOAT AWAY ON THE TIDE

AINT NOTHING LEFT THERE
IN YOUR HEART FOR ME
BUT IN MINE YOULL ALWAYS BE

THAT STAR IN THE SKY
THAT MOUNTIAN TO CLIMB
THAT BLUE RIVER BEND

THAT BURN IN MY HEART
THAT FIRE YOU STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN
MAYBE YOU CAN BE HAPPY IN YOUR WORLD
NOW THAT YOUR NOT IN MINE
LOVING YOU IS AWAYS ON MY MIND

THAT STAR IN THE SKY
THAT MOUNTIAN TO CLIMB
THAT BLUE RIVER BEND

THAT BURN IN MY HEART
THAT FIRE YOU STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN
MAYBE YOU CAN BE HAPPY IN YOUR WORLD
NOW THAT YOUR NOT IN MINE
BUT LOVING YOU IS AWAYS ON MY MIND

Hey Brad, thanks for sharing this! Excellent mixdown on all of this and the instruments are layered nicely. The pedal steel flows nicely with the other instrumentation. Keep it up!


Cheers,
Joe

Sorry to hear you've been unwell and hope that you recover swiftly. The song was wonderful and definitely felt like a solid, strong country song. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Classic country - west country? Black country?
Lots to enjoy though I reckon the bvox are a little loud almost becoming a duet at time.
The arrangement reminded me of Elvis Costello's wonderful country LP - Almost Blue.

Glad you are better and good to see you back with a fine tune.

The write, vocal, arrangement, the band, and the arrangement all harken back to the good IMO days of country...

Well done!

Loved the turn in the lyric from her happiness to yours. I might have preferred this at a somewhat higher tempo, but it slowly worked into my ear and is still playing in the brain as I type. So, hooky it is.

Hello Brad ...

Welcome back and glad to hear you're doing better.

A super nice tune reminding me of something George Strait might have done in the early 80s. On the other hand, I also get a totally different vibe at times ... the Bellamy Brothers. I know, contrasting artists, but that's what came across to me. Really nice! Best to you ...

Alan

Brad, this a great sounding classic country song! Love the way the steel is blended in and great use of some of the background vox available in BIAB! Nice little hook in the chorus! Thanks, Torrey

Great opening lyric that brings the listener in" "He walks in the room/like he's hung the moon." A very satisfying melody. Lovely vocal.
