Song number 93

The weather can’t seem to make up it’s mind today. So far it has snowed, rained and now it’s sunny. The only constant has been the chilly wind. So, that’s fun. Anyway, today’s song is a bit of an oddity because I let the main instrument be piano. I didn’t include any guitar except for the solo. A lot of times I do an acoustic guitar part just for the frequencies if nothing else. To be honest, I felt a bit naked vocally without a guitar. But it’s good to push out of your comfort zone. I really like how this one turned out, even if it is a ballad. Tomorrow I may just have to rock!

lyrics

I've been dreaming of all the nights I missed
What does it matter if I still have your kiss

So much time spent alone with a notebook and a pen
Trying tonight, to right all my sins

Don't hold your breath waiting on me

Wasting all my time breaking my own heart
What does it matter if I never start

Don't hold your breath, waiting on a change

I can be your love and I can be your friend
I can be your everyone until the bitter end

Running out of time, running out of breath
Nothing lasts forever, but who knows how much is left

Don't hold your breath, just breathe

I can be your love and I can be your friend
I can be your everyone until the bitter end

Don't hold your breath, just breathe

Running out of time, running out of breath
Nothing lasts forever, but who knows how much is left

Don't hold your breath, just breathe
