A woman searches for the right man at a coffee house
I was a member of NSAI and went to Nashville several times for training camps. I was a fiction/non-fiction writer before I became a songwriter.
Sheila Dixon began writing songs approximately 12 years ago. She brought a poem to an Orlando “Nashville Songwriter’s Association International" meeting to start out. She met SusieCool (Susan Foster Trewick) there and they co-wrote “We Belong Together Through All Time". Over the years they co-wrote another 17 plus songs. Those are available on Soundclick as "The Healing Band". Besides writing with SusieCool, Sheila worked with another NSAI member Stephen Desjardins. They wrote “My First Love" which they had produced by the Beaird Group in Nashville.
Story behind the song
Imagining what a young woman would go through in her search for the right guy. Since coffee houses are so popular, the writers believe this would make an interesting story.

Am Dm E Am Dm E
Dear Diary, got so much to tell, Dear Diary, feel like I could yell
Am Dm E Dm E
Dear Diary, searchin’ for the right guy, I want someone with an Armani tie!
C G Am E
I did go back to the coffee house, to see if Mr. Right was still around
C G Am E
He was having his usual latte, I was feeling my usual naughty
C G Am E
I slinked past him in my skinniest jeans, the ones I wore back in my teens
C G Am E
I spilled coffee near his table, he must have many girls in his stable
Am Dm E Am Dm E
Dear Diary, got so much to tell, Dear Diary, feel like I could yell
Am Dm E Dm E
Dear Diary, searchin’ for the right guy, No luck, feel like I could die!
G D
Bridge: What is it, am I invisible?
Em Bm
This whole thing is making me miserable
C G
Alright, I guess he’s just not into me
Am Bm E
Hey there’s a gentleman drinking tea
Am Dm E Am Dm E
Dear Diary, got so much to tell, Dear Diary, feel like I could yell
Am Dm E Dm E
Dear Diary, searchin’ for the right guy, Maybe I’ll make it on this try!
C G Am E
OK, I made eye contact, Guess what? The gentleman looked back!
He came over, asked if he could sit, Hey, he’s into me, now I can quit!
Am Dm E Am Dm E
Dear Diary, got so much to tell, Dear Diary, feel like I could yell
Am Dm E Dm E
Dear Diary, finally found the right guy, No kidding, no lie!!
