John Posey Poet Rhyme

Till You -- Lyrics

I’ve been so many places; traveled down some roads --
Mixed with a thousand faces where the Ganges overflowed.
I've crossed majestic mountains; walked some valleys too --
Tossed coins into fountains, but I never saw them -- till you.

I've traveled endless highways; left countless roads behind --
Walked along some byways that still linger on my mind.
I've come back home from St. Tropaz; walked the beach at Malibu.
I lived awhile in Monterrey, but I never saw them -- till you.
(Bridge)
Till you I never saw the sunset on Biscayne.
Till you I never heard a gentle summer rain.
I’ve been so many places I’d like to go back to
But only if you come (to/with) me and make them all come true.

I've stood beneath the tower when Big Ben chimed at noon.
I've whiled away some hours under a great big Texas moon.
I spent some time at Waikiki; roamed the wilds of Timbuktu.
I've sailed on all the seven seas, but I never saw them -- till you.
(Instrumental break)
(Repeat bridge)

Joseph May November 10, 2012 at 6:43 PM great lyrics John...this would make a very nice song...best wishes...thanks for stopping by... John Posey November 10, 2012 at 6:50 PM Thanks Joseph. This was put to music by a friend of mine... Many of my writes are closet song lyrics. I have never really been serious about trying to take them to market... I fear the fun of writing would be lost. I'm glad I never had to depend on writing for a living. Thanks for the comments..... Jake

Andrea Dietrich November 10, 2012 at 9:08 AM This one reminds me of two different songs I have heard in my lifetime but using your own experiences for the lyrics. Very nice!

Terry O'Leary November 8, 2012 at 11:10 AM Hmmm... I thought I'd already read this one, recently... In any case, Jake, this is very nice (perhaps even more so with a second reading) Terry (it would be nice to hear it put to music)
