Story behind the song
This song was first written in 1990, as verses and Chorus only. I played it that way for 8 years, until 1998 when I went into the studio to record it for the second time. Somehow it just seemed to want more than the verses and chorus, so I added a Bridge in the studio, and made it complete. Oh yeah, I was crazy in love too. Didn't work out, but it made for a lot of mighty good songs while I was recording "Home Sweet Home" the album. Love's funny that way .....
Lyrics
Lately I've noticed, I'm leaving my prime. The hair on my head grows silvery with time, But I'm brand new... When I look in your eye, there's a feeling I get, so hard to describe, but I'm thankful that I met you. CHORUS Oh, I've read the many books on love, And I thought I knew what to search for. Then you came from up behind, And cast the spell to last all time.... You give me your hand, and that girlish smile, And I feel you erasing so many miles of pain. I don't have to wonder where you've been, You come straight home, and throw yourself into my arms. BRIDGE Babe I knew from the moment that I first saw you, that nothing in my life would be the same. I still recall how I trembled when I first kissed you, Oh, and suddenly all my pain just washed away.... I gave up my plans for the single life, When you smiled and asked if you could be my wife, And best friend... This power you've got makes me young and wild. There's nothing to hide, and so I'll say it again. Again and again now... CHORUS
