Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp
For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Lyrics
Like A Thief In The Night (v1) Forsaken by love, too many times My heart overruled, the pleading inside Not wanting to hurt again, I took the stance If I don’t go looking, there’s nothing to find (v2) But you captured my heart, and still I don’t How you cut the chains, that locked it so tight In the shadows of romance, you found the key And you stole my heart, like a thief n the night CHORUS You played your love song, using my heart strings Filling the darkness, in my soul with your light I didn’t know until, it was much too late When you stole my heart, like a thief in the night INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (v3) I wasn’t looking, for love or romance Just some affection, in pieces and bits But just like candle light, teased by a breeze Your kisses flitted, so soft on my lips (v4) Slowly you taught me, that love’s not to blame It’s just the victim, of a cheater’s delight You soothed the hurt, then you made your move When you sole my heart, like a thief in the night Repeat CHORUS © Alan D. David, BMI
