"I want to be yours" #49

A nice melody and some good lyrics. I struggle with today's music. It seems over produced to me. Too much stuff. I am so old fashioned I know, but I still enjoy the simple things. A pretty song. Something with an easy melody and lyrics that I can relate to. But then maybe it is because I can't find a way to do any more than a basic presentation.
I may record this again live. It is one of my favorite love songs. She was a very special and exciting girl.

In my mind, In my mind I'm free,

And I know, yes I know I'll always be

Anything I want, till eternity,

And Mimi, I wanta be, I wanta be yours.

                                                                                                                       

I wanta be yours babe, till the sun no longer shines,

Yours and I want you to be mine.

All the rest will be in its'own time,

Mimi I'll be yours and you be mine.

                                                                                                                       

This freedom road, means an awful lot to me.

It took so long, just to know where I should be.

Now I know, yes I know and I can see,

Mimi, I want to be yours.

I wanta be yours babe, till the sun no longer shines,

Yours and I want you to be mine.

All the rest will be in its'own time,

Mimi, I'll be yours and you be mine.

                                                                                                                       

I want the good times, all the good times and the fun.

I want the songs, all those songs I've never sung.

Let them flow, like honey off my tongue,

But, Mimi more than this,  I wanta be yours.

I wanta be yours babe, till the sun no longer shines,

Yours and I want you to be mine.

All the rest will be in its'own time,

Mimi I'll be yours and you be mine.

                                                                                                   

I'm gonna make it, make it all the way this time.

No lookin back to the heartaches or the cryin.

Leavin all these bitter memories far behind.

Mimi, I'll be yours and you be mine.

I wanta be yours babe, till the sun no longer shines,

Yours and I want you to be mine.

All the rest will be in its'own time,

Mimi I'll be yours and you be mine.

"Don't be waiting for me"

I have no idea why it has been so hard for me to get this song recorded and put on the blog.
Last week I see that I had 71 views on the blog from Russia. Curious about that. It was fun to see and makes a guy wonder who's watching huh?
I relate the song to the book of James in the bible.
James 1:12-15 says in the New International Version, "
¹² Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
¹³ When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; ¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
I worked on this in a couple of different keys and settled on D major. I am counting this as song number 47, so I still owe 5 more for this year, as I have promised 52 for 2015. Maybe now I can settle in and get a few more before the new year.

Don't be waiting for me, when I call don't be home.

Don't call my name as you lie there alone,

I belong to someone else, there's no way can't you see.

Can this be hurting you as much as it's hurting me.

I know if we cheated we could never be free,

two broken hearts would pay the penalty,

I can't help how I feel, I can't lie to my soul.

I want you more than life but no one will ever know.

What songs to sing. Six new for 2015

Just thinking this morning of what to do next. Trying to choose. It looks like I have 5 or 6 songs to get on here before 1/1/2016. These are the songs I am considering.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

What Am I Gonna Do

I enjoyed a trip to Colorado back in the late 80s. Visiting my brother and just taking in the countryside. Central City, Colorado was a great place away from it all. Think that's where you would fine the "lost gold mine". Great place back then. Can't begin to imagine what it was back in the day. https://www.colorado.gov/centralcity
Maybe some movie with Henry Fonda or John Wayne would give a little look.   

One of the interesting things I found there was a cemetery. The Knights of Pythias cemetery. http://www.pythias.org/

But back to the song. This is number 46 of one a week for 2015.

I thought I was free as the wind,

Nothing could ever hold me.

Then you came along like the words of a song,

Like wave after wave of the sea.

                   (refrain)

What am I gonna do babe,

What am I gonna do....

I'm so much in love with you Babe,

So much in love with you.

I stood on the top of the mountain,

Sipped of the worlds vintage wine.

Like a book that was open and page after page,

All of life's pleasures were mine.

(refrain)

I was happy to stand all alone,

There was nothing that I couldn't do.

The road rose to meet me, the wind couldn't beat me.

But what will it be without you.

(refrain)

Come with me and stand by my side.

Let's meet each new day you and I.

There's a rainbow in heaven as this time is given.

Here's my hand.  take wings.  Let's fly

(refrain)
