Month: October 2023

Here’s just a super rough brain dump of a song idea that hit me while I was listening to music and cleaning the house on a beautiful October Sunday later afternoon.

I saw you sitting in an outdoor cafe
Just reading a paper
and sipping a latte

I couldn’t look away
I had no idea I was staring
I must have looked such a fool
And you were so in your own world, too
Just being you and so so cool

If anyone saw me seeing you
They couldn’t help but know
They surely saw the drool
Down the side of my chin
like a steady river’s flow

Instant love, that’s what I had
I got it in a flash
And boy I got it bad

I reckon being so alone
I ought to be sad
But just you in my mind’s eye
Takes away all the bad

I’m now always in my own world now
Thinkin bout you day and night
I don’t eat, not sure I remember how.
Guess it’s been two days since I had one bite.

Ever since I saw you my heart’s been on fire
I don’t even know who you are
And you make my soul shine brighter
I’ll forever love you from afar

You’re my sole desire
And I’ve never been much of a cryer
But you make my voice cry out
You make my spirit scream and shout

I want you like I’ve never wanted
Anything or anyone before

I can’t imagine anyone else
Could ever compare
Just you in my mind
Has my feet walking on air

If I ever see you again
I’ll have the courage to speak
Chips fall where they will
Even with knees knocking and weak

And even though with words
I don’t have much of a way
I’ll be sure to tell you
Exactly how I’ve been feeling

My eyes are filled
With tears of joy
Just knowing you’re out there
