This is a song I wrote and recorded about thirty-five years ago on a four-track cassette deck in my bedroom, (I have improved a great deal since then), but it has stood up well over the years and will be re-worked for my upcoming album on a major label, (under my music moniker "Bahku"). It will also be released prior to that as a featured CD single. I hope you like it! (I did all the vocals, writing and production on this recording, and played all the instruments).

(Intro) (Verse 1) Used to be We had a one-of-a-kind love A passion flame that burned so hot Night-after-night Without puttin' up a fight You'd give it to me on the spot Now you're tellin' me You need a change of pace And I can't even get to second base (Verse 2) I can tell I've got no hold on you anymore There's another person in your eyes Don't try to say I'm just gettin' in the way I've had enough of your goodbyes I never ever knew What you were all about Is this your way of coolin' out? (Chorus 1) There's a chill comin' on And it's in your heart girl Throw that icy stare Do what you can to tear me apart There's a chill - chill comin' on An arctic breeze This love is growin' old Now you look at me so cold I freeze (Bridge) Oh there's such a chill This love is growin' old ... (Solo) Ooh now I've gotta find Another weather zone While you find yourself all alone (Chorus 2) There's a chill comin' on There's a winter wind Cold front, cold back What's the chance you'll let me in? There's a chill - chill comin' on An early frost ... What good is being cold girl If loneliness is what it costs? (A Capella Break) (Chorus 1) There's a chill comin' on And it's in your heart girl Throw that icy stare Do what you can to tear me apart There's a chill - chill comin' on An arctic breeze This love is growin' old Now you look at me so cold I freeze (Chorus 2) There's a chill comin' on There's a winter wind Cold front, cold back What's the chance you'll let me in? There's a chill - chill comin' on An early frost ... What good is being cold girl If loneliness is what it costs? (Chorus 1) There's a chill comin' on And it's in your heart girl Throw that icy stare Do what you can to tear me apart There's a chill - chill comin' on An arctic breeze This love is growin' old Now you look at me so cold I freeze (Outro) I freeze ... There's a chill - chill comin' on There's a chill - chill comin' on There's a chill - chill comin' on (Repeat Ad Nauseum) Copyright © 1985 Ganymede Music - BMI Copyright © 2016 Tsahaylu Music (ASCAP)
