One of my early songs written with Motown writer Jim Foelber in the late 60's. Quality is poor as this comes off an old vinyl record.
Country/pop/gospel professional BMI songwriter.
Story behind the song
Co-written in Hollywood, Ca. in 1969 at the Motown offices at Sunset and Vine.
Lyrics
You Are Loved
c. Glen King/Jim Foelber
1st.verse:
Tho, my words may cut you deep
It's not my heart that disagrees
But, you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking love's gone out of me
You should know, don't you know
You Are Loved.
2nd. verse:
If my compliments are few
And, I seem distant now and then
It's not because I'm tired of you
I'm just out of touch again
YOu should know, don't you know
You Are lOved.
Bridge:
I lie awake at night
So full of all I feel
But, the words are so elusive
I'm too afraid to reveal
That part of me:
Don't you know, You Are Loved (multi-repeats)
2rd. verse:
There are times I can't express
All the passions that you bring
I'm not taking you for granted
You make my life a living thing
You should know, don't you know
You Are Loved.
Bridge:
I lie awake at night
So full of all I feel
But, the words are so elusive
I'm too afraid to reveal
That part of me:
Don't you know, You Are Loved (vamp out)
