JUST A GUY WITH THE BLUES

[Verse 1] Hello, sweet brown-eyed girl I'm just a guy with the midnight blues Tryin’ to play it cool, but truth be told I'm already lost in you You gave the softest little smile And I was halfway ‘cross the floor Had a line in mind, a drink and some time Maybe walk you out that door [Chorus] But girl, you lit up like the sun Hit me with a look I couldn’t outrun All my life, I’ve dreamed of this Was countin’ down to our first kiss… tonight [Verse 2] That’s when he walked on by With that easy charm and confident stride You turned to him like a song you knew And I felt the light leave the room [Chorus 2] Yeah, those sweet brown eyes Never even caught these blues It was just a dream, just a dance in my mind A love I never got to lose You smiled like I wasn’t even there Guess hearts don’t always get to choose So I’ll be walkin’ home alone tonight Just a guy with the blues [Bridge] Maybe in another life You’d look up and I’d be right But fate’s a quiet kind of thief And hope don’t always stay the night [Final Chorus] Now those brown eyes shine for someone new And I fade back into the view It’s me and this neon sky Singin’ truths I can’t deny Yeah, I’m just a guy with the blues Still crazy… behind these blues [Outro] Just a guy... With the blues

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..
