Jeff Knight

I am just a songwriter/musician/singer/producer who writes a few songs every now and then. I have since retired from road work and mostly do studio recordings and I have my own home demo studio which you hear music created in it from time to time. I will post some demos of my own and maybe some demos of co-writes or co-producing. It's just what I feel like posting at the time. Thanks for stopping by! ;-)

Lyrics

Title: If you’d been there
lyrics and music by: Jeff Knight, BMI © 2007

VI
I’d be in one hell of a jam ~ if motel walls could talk
frankly I wouldn’t give a damn ~ if I got caught
when I look in the mirror ~ I don’t like what I see
someone I barely know ~ waiting to comfort me

Chorus
I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there
the loneliness was more than I could bear
your total lack of attention proves
our love’s beyond repair
I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there

VII
I’m not trying to rationalize ~ the situation that I’m in
could there be another ending ~ where everybody wins
but I haven’t got a clue ~ where this is gonna lead
for now she’s (he's) in my arms ~ that’s what I really need

Chorus
I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there
the loneliness was more than I could bear
your total lack of attention proves
our love’s beyond repair
I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there

Bridge:
thought a thousand times ~ of what I might say
but you’re never around ~ to hear it anyway

Chorus
I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there
the loneliness was more than I could bear
your total lack of attention proves
our love’s beyond repair
NO! I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there

tag:
NO!, I wouldn’t be here … if you’d been there
