Hi all! I have been extremely busy as a full-time caretaker for my wife while we are in Phoenix for her to have a stem cell transplant. So many ups and downs, but we are confident we are winning! I did have time to write a song recently, and asked my good friends Bud and Janice if she would consider singing with me on it. She very graciously agreed.

This song is loosely based on an old acquaintance of mine, who as a young man fell hopelessly in love with a girl. She initially showed interest in him, but nothing ever came of it. Both went through some withdrawals, but time is a great healer. He is now very happily married to a beautiful wife, and is a pastor of a very successful church today. RT's/RD's listed below. I played the piano parts, and the percussion. Janice did an outstanding job on vocals, and all the bgv's. Special thanks to Bud for capturing her voice.

Over You
©Stephen W. Young

I've played my share of solitaire
Wishing I was anywhere
I realize I've been a fool
To think that I'd get over you

I thought I had a thing with you
You had to be my dream come true
I guess I'll blame it on the truth
That now I have to get over you

I should have seen the warning signs
I'd know that you were never mine
I wish that I could find a school
To teach me how to get over you

If I could just go back in time
Before my heart was on the line
I wouldn't be a lovesick fool
I wouldn't need to get over you

I should have seen the warning signs
I'd know that you were never mine
I wish that I could find a school
To teach me how to get over you
