Musical Monday: When You’re Around.

This song was actually written as a poem for English class my junior year of high school. Or, more acurately, it was written as a song, and used for a poem, if that makes sense.

lyrics:
Staring at your picture
I suddenly feel alone
I wish that you were
By my side tonight
I’ve waited such a long time
For a love to call my own
I know this can’t be wrong
It feels so right

When you’re around
I feel a mile off the ground

There’s something in your smile
That tells me this was meant to be
And don’t you know
That’s what I want to hear
There’s something in your eyes
That shows me all I want to see
I can feel it
Every time I hold you near

When I’m with you
It’s like a dream come true

CHORUS:
When you’re around
My worries are over
When you’re around
My night turns to day
And when you’re gone
It takes so much
To go so long
Without your touch
I’ve fallen hard for you
What else can I say?

Drifting off to sleep at night
I conjure up your face
Your picture is engraved
Inside my mind
I dream about the next time
I can feel your warm embrace
You’re everything I’d ever
Hoped I find

When you hold my hand
I’m the luckiest guy in the land

CHORUS

When you’re away
All of my blue skies turn grey
But when you’re by my side
I feel the heavens open wide

CHORUS

When you’re around
My troubles are over
When you’re around
My night turns to day
And when you’re gone
It takes so much
To go so long
Without your touch
I’ve fallen hard for you
What else can I say?
I think I love you
What else can I say?

I think we’re perfect
And let’s keep it that way
