Crazy Behind These Blues

Hello, sweet brown eyed girl I'm that guy with the blues Can't disguise, locked in eyes Think I might be crazy about you Give a subtle hint of a smile So fast I'll be across this floor Buy you a drink, we'll dance Later, I'll walk you out the door Wow, you're lit up like the sun Giving me a look that I can't fight All my life I've dreamed of this I can't wait, until we kiss.. tonight That's when he passed by me Strutting slowly over to you... Girl, those sweet brown eyes You never even saw these blues Pure fantasy to hold you in my arms Across the room, all your charms They were never mine to lose It looks like I'll be alone tonight Be walking home, all alone.. tonight I'm that crazy guy with the blues Yeah, I'm the guy with the blues Going crazy behind my blues Crazy behind these blues ~Lyric Man Note: Have you ever thought someone was looking,smiling, or waving at you and then you look, smile, and wave back only to realize that they weren't actually looking, smiling, or waving at you. I have and it can be kind of embarrassing. I wanted to write a tune with that ideals mind, but put it into a romantic setting. This is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it!

Lyric Man, these days things are so much harder. Loyalty is something you never find and you mainly see girls getting theirs hearts broken by guys but what we don't see are the guys getting their hearts broken by girls and ti know that there are still guys out there who love a girl to pieces and is willing to do anything for them. Well that's extraordinary.

Nice play on the blues and yeah. The funny thing is you get embarrassed but you are probably the only one that noticed. Rejection is awful real or imaginary.

Nicely penned Lyric man. It makes one try to compose music to fit it. I think most good poetry is lyrics that have no melody (yet)

Know the felling Lyric Man, guess we all do. Great work my friend. Best work for a lyricist, is to remind us of how much we truly are just alike. You have a great talent for that...

Cool situational romanticism, Lyric Man. Misty lyrical be this sweet coin beat ... when the meet-a-maid toll leaves your heart empty. I feel the blues vibe on this mighty fine lyric poem. Love and more love always.

Do you compose music for your lyrics? If so, do you perform your pieces?

A very captivating theme, superbly composed my friend. And yes, that has happened to me as well, in my youth. That beautiful girl, her pretty eyes and bright smile, stayed in my mind for many months.... A fav..
