So, I think we all agree that my last song had a bit too much "ketchup" (harmonically speaking) on it smile ... and many of you said you missed my voice. So, with those two points in mind, here's something new. Hopefully, more understandable by way of harmonic progressions, and, yes, I'm singing on this one, too. See what you think? smile Thanks for listening and for any comments! smile


An Ordinary Man


THE LYRICS:

I'm just an ordinary man
Doing the things I do,
Waking up, brush my teeth, eat my breakfast,
All the time thinking of you ...

I'm just an ordinary man
Looking into the mirror,
Tie is straight, my shoes shine, gone to work,
Wondering if you are any nearer.

And all the time I go about my day
My heart just beats a little fast
At the thought that, in the evening time,
I may see you, once more, at last ...

And, in the evening, when I am back, once more,
I hang my suit, and loosen up my tie,
Set the table, forks and spoons, dinner's ready,
All that is left is your arrival, tonight ...

I'm just an ordinary man
So please don't be angry, and sigh,
If I still hope you will come back, sometime,
That "see you later" didn't mean "goodbye" ...

I'm just an ordinary man
And you have always, ever been so smart;
So please, if you do call, don't play with me,
For you'd be playing with my heart.
