Ok this song is about the relationship between two lifelong friends
(EDIT: Changed the last verse's last line)
Not sure about the music for this yet, was thinking of a simple, slow guitar picking;
G-D-A-E for the verses
G-C-D-C for the choruses
As little boys, we used to play
Scruffy hair and scraped knees
There for each other, day after day
Sharing our hopes and dreams
Our childhood has long since gone
But still you're here for me
There's always a part
Of you in my heart
I hope that's clear to see
As little boys, we never said
What was going though out minds?
“You're my best friend, I hope I'm yoursâ€
But we always knew it inside
Our childhood has long since gone
But still you're here for me
There's always a part
Of you in my heart
I hope that's clear to see
As little boys, we never thought
What life would have in store?
Growing up seemed, so far away
A distant wave from the shore
Our childhood has long since gone
But still you're here for me
There's always a part
Of you in my heart
I hope that's clear to see
Those little boys are long since lost
The way we used to be
Life moves on
But I'll be strong
‘Cos you're still here for me
Feedback , comments etc. welcome as always.

Hi Pete
What a lovely song , as I read this it could be about any two boys , I still have a mate from when we started school aged 5 years now we are in our 40's .
I think slow guitar picing might just be the order of nearly every song this week ,
The chorus really hit home with me , does our childhood ever leave us ? Or do we just joke about it ?
Very touching and I like it alot
Thanks for posting it

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 Pete,
This song reads really well. It's very well put together.
I'm sorry I can't find anything in particular to criticise. :oops:
I enjoyed it greatly. Thanks. 8)

Cheers for all the comments guys, I really think this might be my best work yet.
Working on putting the music together, if I get it right I'll post it up here.

Hi Pete,
nice song, reads well so I hope you get around to recording it. My only suggestion is this:
As little boys, we never thought
What life would have in store?
Growing up seemed, so far away
Together not a care in the world
I think I would change this line, the 1st three are all related to the future but the last line jumps back in time. I think I would relate that to the sentiment of the other three if it was me.
cheers

Hmm, I see your point pbee, ok here goes...
As little boys, we never thought
What life would have in store?
Growing up seemed, so far away
Together not a care in the world
becomes
As little boys, we never thought
What life would have in store?
Growing up seemed, so far away
A distant wave from the shore
What do you guys think? Only a small change, but does it work?
Pete :)
Hi Pete
Realy good exploration of a lasting bond of friendship - flows well and has a logical timeline to it.
Good stuff
