This is another one of these songs where i’ve deliberately made it sound like a little love song and it is.
The sun was out, felt like summer, and this melody sounded a bit jolly so I thought i’d write a jolly little song. Well, that didn’t happen.
It was my youngest granddaughter’s birthday yesterday - she is now 3- and well, these words came and changed the song to something else.
It still feels like a different vibe to
my usual I guess- I don’t know- just giving you, my lovely subscribers the back story- I hope you enjoy.
g, gm7, g, gm7
am, g
c,g
c, d, am, d, c
I wish there was a way for me
to see you every day
Id walk with you and talk with you
and blow the clouds away
i miss you,
i miss you
whenever i’m with you, when i look into your eyes
its like sunshine, rainbows, butterflies
are dancing in the skies
i miss you
i miss you
(c) cause when we are (g)together
(c) i can hold (d) you (am) close to me
(d) oh, it’s heavenly (c)
i wish that we’d more time to share
as every moment I’d be there
listening to the words you say
chasing all the blues away
I miss you,
I really miss you.
Though miles may stand between us
G Gm7
In my heart you are always here
G
Your smile lights up my darkest day
Gm7
i’ll always want you near
am i miss you
(g) i really miss you
i know that you happy and i know that soon we’ll meet
and just to have you in my arms will make my life complete
cause i miss you
i really miss you

Let’s slow it down
