about
A happy-to-be-alive love song, penned in 2013. This draft includes a first verse which I omit in a later version, yet to be recorded. Other parts need to be re-done. So this is only a first draft
lyrics
I woke up one sunny day, what would the new day bring?
I felt intoxicated, though I hadn’t drunk a thing
Strumming my guitar, I felt a groove a-coming on
Thought I’d try to write an upbeat hap-hap-happy song
I just kept on strumming, and this is what I wrote
Hope it keeps on hummin’, and strikes a happy no - o - o - te
Strikes a happy note.
(Hey honey babe, everything it hums along as long as we’re in love)
We woke up one sunny day, what would the new day bring?
We felt intoxicated, though we hadn’t drunk a thing
Now what shall we do today, one sunny day in store?
Live life to the full, hey hey, don’t ever ask for more
First we’ll get the coffee and the croissants on the heat
Hey babe you look good today, you’re good enough to eat.
Hey honey babe, everything it hums along as long as we’re in love
Hey honey babe, everything it fits, it fits just like a hand in glove
Head in clouds, feet on the ground, on this sun-sun-sunny day
We are happy in our skins inside the Milky Way
There’s a ton of grief around but something’s gotta give
We la-la-la like it here, we choose this life to live
Now what shall we do tonight with moonlight on the rise
Sure I'm gonna lose myself, in your loving eyes
And find myself, in your loving arms
Hey honey babe, everything just hums along as long as we’re in love
Hey, honey babe, everything it fits it fits just like a hand in glove ...

Since discovering Bob Dylan (met in 1988), I've often thought that by combining words and music, songwriting is the supreme
art form. Among my favourite songs: Chimes of Freedom (Dylan), If you Leave Me Now (Brel), You Never Give me your Money (McCartney), Young Hearts Run Free (Crawford), Chattanoogo Choo Choo (Warren/ Gordon) ... too many to mention. These are a few minor efforts of my own...more
