Location: Pennsylvania | I saw my sister a couple weeks ago, and she showed me some poems that she wrote when she was a teenager. I thought they where very good, and she said that she would like me to make them into songs for her.
I started to work on one little by little since, and today i came up with something that i think is pretty good. I had to arange the poem into verses and chorus, but i did not want to change her words, which made it a challenge, but i managed to arange her words into a song.
Here are the lyrics...
=================================
faint cry's and far away places
memories that only time erases
i miss you
that glare of light that shines right through
that feeling of happiness has touched me too
i miss you
you know i do
a single tear impares my vision
it is not clear
such a yearning from inside
clouds have come the stars they hide
i need to feel you, to touch you, to hold you
i miss you
a gental song and a kiss of love
as i gaze at the stars so high above
i miss you
so far and distant are they away
as you my love are today
i miss you
you know i do
you are so much to me without you
there is no me
missing you i cannot bare
all these feelings that we share
i need to feel you, to touch you, to hold you
i miss you
the sun shines and lights up the day
home to you i'm on my way
i miss you
=====================================
This recording is my first attempt, and i am reading as i am singing and playing at the same time. Once i get it down, i can focus on adding more feeling into it, and i think it should turn out pretty good.
It's titled... "I Miss You", and here is a link if you would like to listen to it, and let me know what you think so far...
I Miss You
Today is her birthday, and i sent her an email with the link so she can hear her new song.
I hope she likes it... :) |

I think when you get it cleaned up and recorded to your satisfaction, you should submit it for the next OFC CD.
Very nice job! |
