For Real (Billy's song) rough sketch
A song I wrote for my wonderful husband, Bill. He's the best blessing I've ever had :)
Beanfield Castle - what a crop of acoustic and more!
I'm actually my own band :) I sequence music to accompany myself, usually with me playing an acoustic instrument and singing for the final mix.
Story behind the song
Bill and I met when we sat beside each other on an airplane! He wanted to pursue a relationship, but I didn't at the time. He was persistant, and over the course of four years, we eventually did marry, the day after my birthday :) God has blessed me beyond anything I deserve in giving me Bill as my husband, and I wrote the song accordingly. This is a rough sketch of the song, and I'd like to work it up into a more fully instrumental version.
Lyrics
I was just a single girl, all alone in this great big world, then you came
Into my life.
I did my best to be hard to get, but stubborn you just would not let me go
Til I was your wife.
And I’m so thankful for that mercy, because
You’re the best thing on this earth that’s ever happened to me
I can’t begin to tell your worth, a priceless treasure, you see.
It’s not just something that I feel,
I know your love’s for real.
Now we’ve had ups and we’ve had downs, but together, God has brought us ‘round to where
We’re s’posed to be.
Now I’m so blessed with so much love from you, our kids, and God above that I’m
In ecstasy.
And I’m so thankful for that mercy, because
You’re the best thing on this earth that’s ever happened to me
I can’t begin to tell your worth, a priceless treasure, you see.
It’s not just something that I feel,
I know our love’s for real.
Our kids will grow up, things will change, but by His grace our love remains to grow
Ever strong.
We’ll grow old hand in hand, while time goes out like sinking sand, we’ll roll
Right along.
And I’m so thankful for that mercy, because
You’re the best thing on this earth that’s ever happened to me
I can’t begin to tell your worth, a priceless treasure, you see.
It’s not just something that I feel,
He’s made our love for real.
You’re the best thing on this earth that’s ever happened to me.
