Hi,

I would also like to find someone who could play guitar and sing these words to some very simple music.
Thankyou to anyone who would be interested.

The words and request were on here last year.

ALL GROWN UP

v1
As a very young girl
She giggled and laughed
When the boys pulled her hair
Then she smiled and hid her face in her scarf
And no-one knew tears were there

v2
As a growing girl
Growing into her teens
She had so much in life to seek
Finding out what life really means
But no freedom to ever (ever to) speak

v3
Putting on her make-up
To cover up the bruise
Eye-shadow, lipstick
Telling jokes to amuse

Chorus
All grown up
Knew how to be tough
Hide the hurt feelings
When enough was enough
All grown up
A woman shouldn't hide
Til the next tomorrow came along
Another yesterday that lied

v4
Then all grown up
No admissions, truth can't be told
And all grown up
She mustn't cry, too old

v5
Her tears turned to ice
That only love could thaw
But she smiled, a smile would suffice
And no-one ever saw

v6
Putting on her makeup
To cover up the bruise
Eye-shadow, lipstick
Telling jokes to amuse

Chorus
All grown up
Knew how to be tough
Hide the hurt feelings
When enough was enough
All grown up
A woman shouldn't hide
Til the next tomorrow came along
Another yesterday that lied

Hi Marianna,

Is there a tune you had in mind to go with these lyrics or would I be free to try to fit a tune around them? Busy for a few days but I'd be interested in giving it a shot soon either way!

Thanks,

Paul :)

Hi Paul,

Yes, I would really like to see what you could come up with. I would rather leave it completely to you. I don't want to influence you with any style and would rather you have the freedom to try your own ideas.
I look forward to it and thankyou for offering.
Any concerns, keep in touch
Thanks again,
Marrianna  :)
