Guitar driven rock song. Would suit a Chrissie Hynde type of vocalist.

I had a chorus in my head with a little melodic twist in it which I got down and used it to create this rock song. I think it goes together quite well.

YOU BRING LIGHT BABE



THEY SAY THAT NOTHING SO GOOD
NOTHING SO GOOD LASTS FOREVER
I THINK WE'LL PROVE THEM WRONG YOU KNOW
THEY SAY THERE MUST BE A CATCH
WE'RE TOO GOOD A MATCH TOGETHER
I THINK WE'LL SHOW THEM WERE TO GO
WHO'S TO BLAME FOR THIS RAIL ROAD ENGINE
STEAMING THROUGH MY BRAIN
ON THE TAIL OF A RAGING HURRICANE
BABY IT'S YOU
YOU'RE TURNING ME RIGHT ON TO SOMETHING GOOD

CHORUS

YOU BRIGHTEN MY NIGHTS
YOU TEASE AND EXCITE
YOU BRING LIGHT BABE

IT SEEMS A LIFETIME AGO
LIFETIME AGO WHEN I MET YOU
IT'S FUNNY HOW THE TIME HAS FLOWN
I THINK HOW LUCKY I AM
THAT PART OF SOME PLAN WAS I GET YOU
AS ONE TOGETHER WE HAVE GROWN
NOW IT FEELS THAT THERE'S A WHIRLWIND HUMMIN’
THROUGH MY HEARTS DOMAIN
CAN’T YOU SEE THAT IT IS TURNING ME INSANE
BABY BABY IT'S TRUE
YOU'RE SPINNING ME AROUND TO SOMETHING GOOD

REPEAT CHORUS

I REMEMBER THAT MY WORLD WAS ONCE IN DARKNESS
YOU CAME OH! YOU CAME RIGHT ON
I REMEMBER HOW IT WAS MY FEELING SO BLUE
I RECALL THE DAYS I CRAVED THE WARMTH OF JUST ONE KISS
YOU CAME AND TURNED A LIGHT ON
LIKE A BEACON IN THE NIGHT YOUR SWEET LOVING SHINES THROUGH
SHINE A LIGHT BABY SHINING BRIGHT BABY

NOW I CLAIM THAT THERE'S A STAMPEDE COMING
THUNDERIN' THROUGH MY VEINS
GUESS WHO'S THERE RIDING SHOTGUN AT THE REINS
BABY BABY IT'S YOU
YOU'RE SWEEPING ME AWAY TO SOMETHING GOOD

REPEAT CHORUS

I'M HIGH AS A KITE
IT ALL FEELS SO RIGHT
SHINE A LIGHT BABY, SHINING BRIGHT BABY (ETC TO FADE)
