The words to this song stayed the same this week, though I have a couple of potential ideas to extend the first verse someday. I also plan to try this out with multiple instruments when I begin to record the next album.
All of the instruments on this track are ukuleles, as I decided to play with an arrangement that I may teach to MAUI (Mount Airy Ukulele Invasion). I layered baritone and tenor ukuleles and added some vocal harmonies to the chorus part.
I meant to point out last week that the lyric, "Sail ships exponentially" refers to "Helen of Troy - The Face That Launched 1000 Ships."
lyrics
“As Good As Your Love”
I could write a book as true as your heart
But even with all of Webster's wisdom
still no definite definition
If I could write a song that was as good as your love
I'd make I'd make I'd make
a million dollars
but everybody knows
a song is just some notes
with words that fall short
illustrate the inner soul
I could sculpt a mountain into your beautiful smile
They would dote on you for centuries
Sail ships exponentially
If I could write a song that was as good as your love
I'd take the world's problems
one fell swoop would surely solve them
But everybody knows
a song is just some notes
with words that fall short
illustrate the inner soul
These things that I am feeling
like four walls without a ceiling
make no rhyme, make no reason
with every changing season
If I could only tell you how much I love you
But everybody knows
a song is just some notes
with words that fall short
illustrate the inner soul
But everybody knows
a song is just some notes
with words that fall short
illustrate the inner soul
