I am taking a huge liberty here with this topic ...
Ain't exactly what Vic meant i am sure but , I never was a conformer ...lmao
I call this " Photograph " ...

Its a bit of a fantacy song , like that poster on the wall when we were kids , I know Suzie Quatro was going to be my wife at one stage , but she never returned the calls ...lol -- yes thats a joke :)

" Photograph "

I got a photo graph of you
I look at it , its' all I do
I've never seen you form a smile
Or even blink your eyes .....

We talk almost every night
We tell each other everything , will be alright
We talk about our aims
Promise each other it ain't a game ...

You talk about our first kiss
And all things that you miss
Simple thing like holding hands
Consumes our minds , its' all our plans

Dreaming about the things we could have done
laughing , smiling and just having fun
This isn't some sort of fantacy ......
Its very real for you and me .............

I got a photo graph of you
I look at it , its' all I do
I've never seen you form a smile
Or even blink your eyes .....

I got a photgraph of you ...

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Hi Trev,

Good start :D It's probably better to take liberty and get something down than coming up blank like I am :evil: ...my excuses are jet lag last week...moving house this week....then next week we start the new school year.....waiting for that mundane routine to kick-in so I can get back to writing :cry:

Musically I can hear something like "Centerfold" by the J. Giels Band

Thanks for sharing.

James

Hey James ,

Once again thanks for the comment mate :)

Centerfold" by the J. Giels Band now I ain't heard that in years ...

I was thinking more Nickelback - Photograph

Sort of where I got this melody in my head from ...

Thanks as always
Trev.... :note2:

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Hey Trev,

this reads really well and tells a great story. There is only one very very minor change that I would consider making if it was my song:
Dreaming about the things we could have done
laughing , smiling and just having fun
This isn't some sort of fantacy ......
Its very real for you and me .............

I'm dreaming about the things we could have done
laughing , smiling and just having fun
This isn't some sort of fantacy ......
Its very real for you and me .............

In the previous verse we were looking at the situation from her perspective and the I'm just reinforces that were now looking at it from yours, not a biggy though, well done mate.

cheers
Paul

Hey Trev,

Good to see you posting SSG pieces, hon! Wish I could fight writer's block/time/pain to do the same! (Heh heh, I just rhymed...partially).

I agree with Pbee about the "I'm" bit. Aside from that, interesting story, good take on the assignment (which has me flummoxed). Overal, great job of this week's SSG, congrats! :D

Dreams...Ahh don't hurt to dream and it costs nohing :) ..In my dream I can play Barr Chords he he he
