A song for a friend of mine...sweet, bluesy, and just a man and his guitar.
Drop me a line. Tell if it sucks. Tell me about the lyrics - do they make sense?
Story behind the song
I fell really hard for my friend, and we were happy for a time, but she seemed to worry a lot about one of us leaving or her falling for her (ex?) fiance, so I sat down and wrote a song about being the one who will always love, always cheer, always hope, and always be here.
Lyrics
I don't care much for sittin' in the rain,
That's what the other boys will do for you.
Laugh and play, enjoy the sunny day,
Let the Sun shine in his sky so blue.
[ye olde chorus]
Some say dancin' cheek-to-cheek is all the rage,
Some count their blessings by the love that they've made,
Just stand there with your banner and a smile on your face...
I'll be your one man parade.
Alcohol can make your fears all fall away,
Sometimes all you need is a kiss.
After the love has gone away, I swear it's not the same,
I only pray that, darling, you'll remember this...
[ye olde]
If the ticker tape all falls to the ground,
You turn away, I'll play the fool for you.
The band has packed it up, here I am just standin' round.
Even though you left me alone, I'll do this thing I do...
[ye olde]
Some say...
Let me be your one man parade.
