Hi guys,
It's been a difficult couple of weeks, my Mum has been in hospital for surgery and we are waiting to see if she has (or had) cancer. She is hopefully coming out of hospital in the next few days and she'll be staying with us until she is more able again. In a moment of positivity I have written this. The melody is stuck in my head and I can't stop singing it to myself.
I've written the lyrics in my own weird way so I don't forget how it's going to be sung, so apologies for that. I'd love to know your thoughts. If you read it with a view to it sounding similar to The Spinners' 'Leaving of Liverpool' you'll likely get close to where I'm heading with it.
Hold my hand
It broke my heart when
I heard what you said
That you don't want to play anymore
I cannot imagine
The nightmare, the bed
And I know that you're feeling real poor
Sure it's been hard and
Could be harder still
But you've got us each step of the way
I'm not gonna stand by
And let you fall down
For its writ in the script that you stay
Oh...
Chorus
Hooold my hand-All-the-way
Hold it firm
and I'll hold you up
Hooold my hand-All-the-way
For-we're-not ones
For-quitting not us
Now we've got a young family
Who's needing you now
Needing you, more than you know
The little one's only
a year and a day
And she wants you to be there to play
So pick up your fears
And pack them away
And leave them behind in the bay
For a warm and comforting
Bed does await
And our fire it never will fade
Oh...
Chorus
Hooold our hands-All-the-way
Hold them firm
and We'll hold you up
Hooold our hands-All-the-way
For-we're-not ones
For-quitting not us
bridge
If you say no I'll say yes
(stomp stomp)
If you won't go And protest
(stomp stomp)
Look at her eyes
Look at her smile
Go for her
If not for the rest
(stomp stomp)
Chorus ..
end..
