Notes About The Poem
This is one of the first songs I've written. The time limit for audio makes it difficult to include an entire song from start to finish... so I try to trim to the most important parts of the song for getting the melody and a good idea of how the whole song comes together. Submitting to song lyrics poetry contest.
Listen to poem:

Start All Over Again: with audio

Start All Over Again



        C.                          G
Vs.1) Your voice is like whiskey deep down
          F
in my bones
C.                G.             F
Your arms around me ,feels like I am home
C.                              G
You're warm when I'm cold, You're cold 
              F
when I'm hot, ohhh
C.                       G.                    F
There's nothin' I want that you're not.
          C.                          G
Vs.2) Your eyes burn like fire where you 
F.        C.                          G.              F
stare. Your laugh like Champaign, is music
                 C.                        G
to my ears. When you kissed me I knew I
      F
was caught,oh h
C.                    G.              F.                CGF
You're everything I didn't know…I'd want.

*CHORUS*
C.                     G.                       F
What's yours is mine and what's mine is 
          C.               G.                 F
yours. It's not just raining, baby, your love 
          C.                   G
pours!  Like a ragin' storm soakin' me
F.                                  C
right down to my skin…when we're all 
G.                 F.                      CGF
done…let's start….all over again!
                          C.  G F.              C. GF
[*ending: all over again, all over again…
                   C G F C
again and again.]
          C.               G.         
Vs.3) You are my person, that's all I can 
F.        C.                   G
say. The one I run home to and ask,
F.                                         C       
"Honey, how was your day?" This passion
     G.                                    F.         C
between us may cause us to fight…but 
                              G.            F
let 'Em say you're wrong,and I'll…always
                              CGF
swear that you're right!
(*CHORUS*)

This is so creative, Crystal. I love how you included chords. I learned guitar in my 40's but could never play by ear. I always needed the chords written above the words. Then I tried to create my own song. Only one though. I remember practicing many strings and songs two years straight. Then 15 years later I picked up a guitar and forgot all the chords I had learned except for a few. So disheartening. Congrats on your win and for having a nice singing voice too.

Why thank you so much! Hey have you ever tried ukulele? I learned it by watching videos online...I was playing songs within a couple days! I can't play by ear either... but the more i played uke, the better I became at hearing which cord goes where. A guitar has a much fuller, more sophisticated sound but ukulele is way easier! Xo

I have yet to hear anything from anyone. Could be my outdated laptop. Hope I'm able to hear your song.
