Musical Monday: Someday.

Now we’re talking old. Here’s a song from my first album, written back in 1994. It was my first big full-length love song, and remained one of my favorites for quite some time. Though I never sat down and recorded the album, I recorded this song along with a bunch of others by sitting down at the piano with an old cassette deck and a microphone. So the quality’s the poorest of any of my recordings; perhaps ironically, I only recorded my (then) favorite songs this way.

lyrics:
You catch me looking at you
Sometimes I can’t control
My true feelings, it seems
See you smile, and I want you
But something tells me you’re more
So much more than you seem

It shouldn’t matter what I want
But I could be what you need

CHORUS:
Sometimes you wanna feel the sun on your face
Throw a smile at the one beside you
Know you’re in your place
Someday, I don’t know when, but I will find a way
To tear away at the walls around me
Open up and say:
Oh, you
It’s for you I long
By your side’s
Where I belong
So I write you this song

You’re by my side, I wanna hold you
I’d talk, but actions seem to speak
So much more loudly than words
If you’re willing, then would you?
Half-completed thoughts spin through my mind
They sound so absurd

But it shouldn’t matter what I say
If you still love me, anyway

CHORUS

It shouldn’t matter if you care
Or if you turn and walk away
But can’t you see my longing stare?
No one else makes me feel this way

Sometimes you wanna feel the sun on your face
To feel a loved one’s arms around you,
Lovingly embraced
Sometimes you wanna feel a bit of Heaven’s grace
To light the path that leads you home
A warm and tender place
Someday, I don’t know when, but I will find a way
To take possession of my fears
And throw them all away
Someday, I hope it’s soon, but desperately I pray
That I can look you face-to-face
And open up and say:
Oh, you
It’s for you I long
By your side’s
Where I belong
I swear
I’ve done nothing wrong
Can’t you see?
This is where I should be
This is where I belong
