Story behind the song
I'm always looking for music to write to. Came across Paul here on Soundclick and fell in love with a few of his masterpieces. I rearranged his original trk, which was called "Girl I Once Knew", then added a few voices from my Yamaha Keyboard, ( Grand Piano, air choir and Fantasia Synth ). Hope you like it Paul, Thank You! If anyone has any music trks to lend in the way of Country, Blues etc I would LOVE to write to them in exchange for using the trk to pitch (giving you composer credits, as always). Am starting to have Paramount in Nashville demo some songs to pitch to Major Artists so am very excited to see what happens next!
Lyrics
"Boy I Once Knew" there's a boy I once knew who was born and then grew my whole world revolved around him 10 little fingers into everything 2 little feet, always on the go how I kept up, to this day, well, I don't know one day he became 18 moved away to his own dream now he has a new world I waved goodbye, said I'll miss you, tried not to cry talked to him the other day asked him if he's doin' ok I said son, I love you you'll always be, the little boy, i once knew one day he'll have his own son and life's cycle will rerun I'll look at him and I'll see the baby he once used to be 10 little fingers into everything 2 precious feet always on the go how he'll keep up, well, I don't know he's still the boy I once knew 10 little fingers into everything 2 little feet, still on the go He's still the boy...in my heart lives the boy I once knew
