christian comedy worship novelty pilcher walt pilcher
Artist picture
I'm retired and living in High Point, NC, with my wife, Carol, an artist. I have been writing songs and music since 2005 and am still learning to play guitar. Many of my songs are Christian contemporary worship songs, and others are pop rock or comedy/novelty pieces. Until I moved to High Point I practiced with an acoustic string band called Bishop's Bridge in Greensboro, NC, that plays mostly Celtic, folk and old time music (Contact Vance Archer at vance_d_archeriii@yahoo.com). The songs on my Band Page were produced in my home studio using PrintMusic and Cubase. I hope you enjoy the result. (Photo: "Can I play too?"

Lyrics
Fondest Heart Verse 1 A table for one? No, I’ll sit at the counter. We used to come here twice a week I look every night, but I still haven’t found her. I’m playing grown up hide and seek. Chorus A They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well, I don’t know who wrote that part, But if absence does make the heart grow fonder, Then I’ve got the fondest heart. Verse 2 I sit in the pew just like we used to do; The preacher, he talks about love. I don’t hear the sermon, but one thing is true, yes I sure need some help from Above. Chorus B They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well, I don’t know who wrote that part, But if absence does make the heart grow fonder, Then I’ve got the fondest heart. Yeah, I’ve got the fondest heart. Bridge My heart was so fond as We pledged our love’s bond; It was obvious we’d never part. She started to wander, And my heart got fonder: Some say that I’m not very smart. ‘Cause now it’s been years, And I’m often in tears… But I’ve got the fondest heart! Verse 3 They tell me I’m foolish for waiting around. Find someone and make a new start. What’s foolish is liking this feeling I’ve found, All wrapped up in my fondest heart. Verse 4 Although I can’t find her, and she doesn’t care, My heart isn’t broken – I’m fine! The people from Guinness are bound to declare The Absence World Record is mine! Yeah, the Absence World Record is mine! Outro ‘Cause if absence does make the heart grow fonder, Then I’ve got the fondest heart. Well, I’ve sure got the fondest heart.
