Don't Cry Autumn Eyes

8 Bar Intro

Sweet summer fun settin like a settin sun glowing in your Autumn Eyes
Sittin in a corner lookin not cookin waitin for a big suprise
The way you look at me will never set me free I can't get much higher cause my hearts on fire

Hot Autumn Eyes lazy summer kisses leading me on by the shore
Autumn colours summer leading into winter cozy by a crackling fire
Warm in the wonder with lovin things to do don't care where we're goin as long as I'm with you

8 Bar instrumental

Long sleepy winter stirring in the spring born again to carry on the dance
Echoes of the past tugging at my sleeve or is it just a fresh romance
Here we are again in soft summer nights dancing with the devil in the mad moonlight

Sweet summer fun settin like a settin sun glowing in your autumn eyes
Sittin in a corner lookin not cookin waitin for a big suprise
The way you look at me will never set me free I can't get much higher cause my hearts on fire
Don't cry autumn eyes
Thank you very much, I thought this tune was just what the Dr. ordered this morning.

Keep @ it mate!

Awesome tune. Sounded a little like Satchmo. Cool lyrics, singing and playing.

Yessir! Nice tune.

Very cool blues. The vocal works perfectly with the laid back arrangement. Then throw in a fine mix with some "keep your attention" lyrics and you end up with this -- a great production to my ears that sounds really good on my KRK's. Bravo!

Richard,

you continue to do some really interesting stuff!!

Good mix on this. And a nice choice of instrumentation. Terrific vocal!

Cool word combinations throughout the lyric. There are a few lines that puzzle me a bit, and they still SOUND cool...

fun stuff...

Thanks to all for the very encouraging comments.
Makes me feel quite enthused.
Have got about 10 more from FAWM to redo.

The words are used more to create feelings or impressions.
For example 'Sittin in a corner lookin not cookin waitin for a big suprise'.
The picture in my mind was a person at a party, sitting back rather out of it anticipating future antics with his sweetie.

Anyhow thanks again. The comments really do give me a buzz! Cheers.

Loved the old-style vibe of the whole thing, from that piano to the Satch-esque vocals (so nicely mixed too). Just brill, from start to finish, bravo!
