Just something to make you feel a little better when you're down
I had never actually written a song yet, and I saw the Blues Idol contest and figured I might as well write one and see what I could do.
When Will I See You
By Noah Chasin
Well I’ve been here for so long
I’m at the edge of my world
And all I can do is hope
Something better may come along
21 years I’ve been here
How many more must I stay
Sometimes I look up to the sky
Know I’ll be there someday
But Sometimes I just know
I’ll never succeed
Chorus:
Now look outside
What do you see
A city of lights
Come to me
When will I see you
Freedom, it’s all that I need
From the sun to the moon
All the way to the sea
Well, when will I see you
I used to run to my house
Every other day
I believed in pure harmony
I was young and naïve
Now I’ve grown up
Matured all the way
All of my friends are gone
They’ve left me here to stay
Sometimes I just feel
I’ll never leave
Chorus:
Now look outside
What do you see
A city of lights
Come to me
When will I see you
Freedom, it’s all that I need
From the sun to the moon
All the way to the sea
Well, when will I see you
All I can do now is wait
Another time, another place
It’s been so long, it’s been so sweet
But I’m leaving right away
Chorus:
Now look outside
What do you see
A city of lights
Come to me
When will I see you
Freedom, it’s all that I need
From the sun to the moon
All the way to the sea
Well, when will I see you
