This is one of a handful of songs I have written. It took only about ten minutes to come up with the lyrics, and the song pretty much wrote itself. Changing the ending from “will I” to “will you” was the only part of the song I really pondered. Other than that it was a total stream of consciousness.
My dad really like the song when I first sang it for him, so he asked me to record it. I don’t have a mic stand, so I used my music stand instead, and I’m not a singer, but I think it turned out okay. So here it is…
Lyrics
I see your face in my dreams now
Your voice it carries me home
And in my dreams I can hold you
And I know that I’m not alone
But how I want to get closer
You don’t know how you make me feel
So won’t you give me an answer
Please tell me, girl, if it’s real
And if I say to you
The things I wanna say
Will I break down inside
And let you slip away
The restless child in your eyes
Tells me that you can’t be mine
Still I wouldn’t want you to change, girl
Cause I’ve seen the way that you shine
And if I say to you
The things I wanna say
Will I break down inside
And let you slip away
I feel an emptiness within my life
If I let down my defenses will it go away
All the feelings that seemed so contrived
Now they come to me so easily
And if I say to you
The things I wanna say
Will you break down inside
And let me slip away
