This is a beautiful slow ballad song that has piano, vocal, and I played around with adding 2 saxophone tracks.
Solo Artist
My band is all me, every instrument you hear is played by me, myself and I. I hold a degree in music education but my concentration is on classical saxophone. I picked up playing some guitar chords here and there from my dad, they don't teach us guitar in college. They also don't teach us how to write rock songs, I learned that by simply expressing myself with what I knew about simple chord structures from music theory.
Story behind the song
One day I really wanted to do something nice for my girlfriend so I just wrote it. Although the quality is not great because I had to use a 4-track that is as old as I am.
Lyrics
Piano intro
I Know you been waiting,
To get emotion from me,
It feels like, you’re pullin’ a rope,
It’s tied to a ship, on the other side of the Sea.
It’s Been a Long, long ride,
And you’ve been pullin for quite some time now,
And I Thank you
So if it takes a lifetime, I’m going to give you everything
The love that you have given me is like a diamond ring
It’s precious to me
So let me show you how
I Love you
So Baby stick with me and I’ll prove to you it’s true
I love you
Your heart is safe with me I promise this to you
Baby, I know you’ve had some doubts
And though I’ve had other things on my mind
I’m always thinking of you, yeah everyday
I want to show you the best days of your life, and I will
It’s been a long, long ride
And you’ve been pullin for quite some time now,
And I thank you, I thank you, for everything
And if it takes a lifetime, I’m gonna give you everything
If I can’t give you the whole world I’ll give you all of me
Your precious to me,
So let me show you how
I Love you
So Baby stick with me and I’ll prove to you it’s true
I love you
Your heart is safe with me I promise this to you
Bridge
There’s a road ahead of us, we’re headin on down.
The Journey is long but the rewards are very plentiful
I wanna enjoy it with you, and only you, babe.
