A guitar/vocal demo for my upcoming “Songs for Kids” collection. Working on lyrics, but am especially concerned about a possible OVERLY Bluesy feel to the song, which kids might not “get”… Thanks for your feedback.
How To Say I Love You

How To Say I Love You
As a boy you took me by the hand
Time to take a little walk with my Dad
You told me son if you want to be a man
There’s certain things you gotta understand
A man’s word is the only thing he has
Break a promise, and you’re gonna feel bad
Every choice has got a consequence
When you choose you gotta to live with it
I know what you said was true
And I’ve done what you said to do
But I wish that you’d taught me how to say I Love You
As we were walking there were tears in your eyes
Squeezed my hand just a little more tight
Told me “Son, don’t you ever be a liar
Make damn sure you always treat your mama right
Nobody’s perfect, not even my old man
He Made mistakes, and he had to live with them
He made me cry, yeah he made me feel bad
One day I hope I’m gonna understand
I know what you said was true
I’ve done what you said to do
But I wish that you’d taught me how to say I Love You
Dad and mama gonna take a little break
All because of some choices that they made
Even though daddy’s gonna be away
I’m going to think about him every single day
Years have gone now and I’m fully grown
Got a wife and a son of my own
My boy and I are walking down the road
Thinking ’bout what Dad told me long ago
I know what you said was true
I’m going to tell it to him too
But I’ll make sure. I’ll make sure to say I love you
Yeah, I hope you know, Dad, it’s been a long time, but I forgive you

I Still Love You Yet

I Still Love You Yet
Hey baby I’m talking to you
What is it you want to do
We’ve got this whole night to ourselves
We could stay right here or we could go raise some hell
We’ve been spread just a little too thin
So focused on getting’ through everyday livin
I’m so sick and tired of going through the motions
What do you say baby lets go find the mountains
Chorus
So lets pack up everything we own
In this rusty trusty Silverado
We’ve got four hundred miles to reconnect
And with each one I know I still love you yet
Regret can be a four letter word
One from you I haven’t ever really heard
We’ve had our shares of ups and downs
But one thing I haven’t ever questioned is taking this vow
Chorus
Bridge
We made it in time to watch the sunrise
And I’ll never forget the look in your eyes
Chorus
I wrote this song for the singer/songwriter challenge prompt which was the word “spread”. This marks song #13 for me! Just a few months ago I didn’t even know if I would make it to 5 much less 10. I welcome any and all feedback. Thanks!!
Break out of the Mold
Submitted: July 25, 2022 at 8:49 pm Composed/performed by: Vicki Morrison Goble, vicki@latebloomersrock.com Copyright: Copyright 2022 Vicki Morrison Goble
Break out of the Mold
Time to seek a little adventure
Go with the flow, let circumstance lead
Open your mind to new horizons
You might find just what you need
Chorus:
Gotta let loose before you get old
Discard expectations, build memories of gold
It may be hard to decide to be bold
So throw off your shackles, break out of the mold
We can’t see what the future will be
We can’t choose our last day or the way we go
We can plant our own seeds and nurture them well
We can decide how we live and grow
[Repeat chorus]
On my last day I’ll look back and I’ll say,
“I can tell, I lived well.”
[Repeat chorus]

Wanna Leave Here With You

Wanna Leave Here With You
© 2022 Brad Dunse and Joel J. Johnson
Can’t you tell by the way we’re swaying
out on this floor
I’ve got something to say but I’m
dancing it more
Even though my thoughts are scattered
The truth be known
There ain’t a girl in here that
I’d rather hold
Chorus:
Don’t you know I’ve been reading your hips
They say the same as the taste on your lips
This place will be closing down soon
Tell me that you’re feeling it too-oo
I wanna leave here with you
Can’t you tell by the way you’re moving
with me tonight
Our body language has us grooving it
just right
And the way that the band is stalling
I’ve heard enough
O got a place we can go try
calling my bluff
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
By the way that the clock is ticking
It’s time to go
When we get to the place I’m picking
we’ll take it slow
(Repeat chorus)

Head To My Heart

Head To My Heart
By Paul Nye © 2022 nyesguyTunes Publishing/BMI
VERSE 1:
Feeling like a tattered t-shirt worn a day too long
My heart is black as coffee; a little weak, but still strong
The sun slowly sinks into a starless atmosphere
My only comfort is the shadow of my fear
CHORUS:
The journey can be long from my head to my heart
But today seems like a good place to start
I’m a foot away from hope, but still miles apart
On this journey from my head to my heart
Feel like it’s miles from my head to my heart
VERSE 2:
My mind is empty at the end of my rope
But my heart is telling me, “There is still hope”
They say reason quashes faith on this spinning sphere
If that is true, what is our purpose here?
CHORUS:
The journey can be long from my head to my heart
But today seems like a good place to start
I’m a foot away from hope, but still miles apart
On this journey from my head to my heart
Feel like it’s miles from my head to my heart
BRIDGE:
Finding yourself when you don’t know that you’re lost
Is a bridge you will someday cross
CHORUS:
The journey can be long from my head to my heart
But today seems a good time to start
I’m a foot away from hope, but still miles apart
On this journey from my head to my heart
I’m on a journey from my head to my heart
Feel like it’s miles from my head to my heart
Song is about the psychological/spiritual concept that states the longest distance is the 12″ from one’s head to their heart – or what our emotional sense or feeling is telling us juxtaposed with what our head (or reason) is telling us. This song is about the conflict or struggle with those two entities of our psyche.
I’m Writin’ a Letter

I’m Writin’ A Letter – Terry Kennedy
It was many years ago
our fight lasted too long
you said you had to go
you said you didn’t belong
I don’t know what you need
don’t know where you’ve been
I wonder where life will lead
if you’re ever comin’ back again
CHORUS
So, I’m writin’ a letter
reachin’ out to you
I really oughta know better
but there’s nothing else I can do.
I’ve lived my life like a man
worked hard and pain my dues
If there’s anything that I am
it’s a man who’s in love with you
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Life is full of regrets, things I shoulda known
So, I’m hedgin’ all of my bets, hopin’ that you’ll come back home.
I recently purchased a mandolin and in learning how to play it I was messing with this chord pattern and found myself writing a song. This is a scratch track recording I did just to send it in for review.
Time Enough for Love
Submitted: July 26, 2022 at 4:47 pm Composed/performed by: Greg Beck, gregb@mac.com Copyright: 2022
Time enough for love
Used to live my life in overdrive
Building up a fortune and telling myself lies
True romance would have to wait
At the office early working late
Couldn’t let a woman get too close to me
Always found a way to break it off eventually
She was just the next in line
Now I can’t erase her image from my mind
Chorus:
Didn’t have the time enough for love
Guess I thought I’d live forever
Didn’t have the time enough for love
Now I know we will stay together
Chasing the bottom line
I didn’t have the time enough for love
Tried to analyze why my feelings were so strong
I applied the basic logic I’d relied on for so long
Couldn’t find a place to start
There’s no explaining matters of the heart
She made me realize
I need more than all my money buys
[Repeat Chorus]
Now instead of chasing the next deal
I’ve let these new emotions take the wheel
Love is so intoxicating
I’ve got her in my life no more waiting
Didn’t have the time enough for love
Guess I thought I’d live forever
Didn’t have the time enough for love
Now I know we will stay together
Love snuck up from behind
Now I’ve found the time
Time enough for love
Time enough for love

Looking for input on the 3rd verse plus the overall feeling of the song. The final version will probably have a drum track and bass, plus a reimagining of the lead vocal.
