Well, I did some revising on my lyrics - they used to be called The Treasure's in My Hand. The title did sound a bit bizarre (also noted by a couple of people).
So I've renamed it Everything I Am and did a rewrite. These revised lyrics change the meter a bit and seem to flow better.....
No melody yet but I'm thinking a medium tempo 4/4 for this.... Feedback is appreciated on anything - lyrics, meter, phrasing etc. I'll try to work on some music for it and update this post when I can....
Everything I Am
(Verse 1)
Yes I’m feeling good today
The first time in a while
Used to let things get me down
But now that’s not my style
So don’t mind if I seem to be
A different man today
I guess it’s just a good thing
That has come my way
(Chorus)
Found my special someone, now my life’s complete
Her love is an eternal flame that lights the way for me
When you find this kind of love I know you’ll understand
That she means the world to me, she’s everything I am
(Verse 2)
You know it seems like everything
Might work out like it should
Used to have just bad luck
Now I’d say it’s all good
All those things I had to do
I see them getting done
Yes is so much better
And my blues are on the run
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I’m catching some alright tonight now baby
Nothing better I know that it’s true
Talking about this new life that she gave me
Her love is always going to see me through
(Verse 3)
Making up for the time I’ve lost
Catching up on what I’ve missed
All I know is I could go
A long, long time like this
I hope you find a love like mine
And they take away your pain
Everybody needs somebody who
Can make them feel this way
(Chorus)
