This one started out with a title (and I have all the lyrics for) “I See You In The ICU, You Icy Ewe.” Ah, it just didn't fit with the feel so... Well, now it's not the ICU, but It's Me with new lyrics. The first two lines are from the other version, and take on a whole different meaning in this one. I'm pretty apathetic as to what genre any of my songs fit into, but this one is kinda like a Broadway Blues if there is such a thing. This is about me explaining to my wife of 45 years that the Prince Charming she always hoped for, longed for, and lamented over never finding, might just be me. This one is Song #5 on my album being released on the 14th, Valentine's Day. Deej, let me know if 5 is the right slot. hehe

There is another baseball reference in the lyrics. Anyone catch it? hehe

It's Me

You know I wondered when I'd see you,
if you'd even notice and see me too.
Our busy lives can control so much.
I long for your loving touch.
We'll meet for supper and sip on wine.
We'll smile and soak in all the best of Time.
Let's slow the world down to a loving crawl,
and what the world gives us --we'll take it all.

CH: It's me who loves you and (makes it all alright) (stands right by your side.)
It's me who holds you through each night.
We fit so well together, it's plain to see,
if you know what's good for you, it's me.

I know you wonder if I'm the one.
We have fond memories of so much fun.
Don't turn away from this good life we made.
Turn back to me for the win and save.

Let's sit here under this old willow tree.
We'll let the world spin away, and we'll stay free.
It's you and me now, girl, if you give the word.
We can rule the world. Or haven't you heard?
