I wrote this when I was 19. The girl I wrote it for lived a very fast and hard life. I can't locate her and doubt that she is now alive, not to be melodramatic.
Story behind the song
I've always been a sort of Romeo, sorrows of young Werther kind of guy. You know, in love with someone in the opening act that he forgets by the end of Act II. But the feelings...that's something else. They are worth remembering.
Lyrics
C
Day after day,
Em
I sit believing that,
C
I'll never find a way,
Em
It's all this waiting for,
C
A love that won't occur,
Am
It makes me so unsure,
D
But I love you.
Time after time,
No use debating,
What that's doing to my mind.
I know the axiom,
Don't tell me that love's blind,
I'm seeing you just fine,
And I love you!
D7 G C D Em
I love you and nobody else will do.
Wait for your call,
I sit here staring at,
The clock up on my wall.
I've got your number,
And it's carved inside my head,
With all the words you said,
And I love you.
I love you and nobody else will do.
Bm F#m
Tell me how should I reget
F C
That I loved you?
Bm F#m
I'm more likely to forget
F Em (stop)
My own name, than you!
Time to move on,
You would just laugh at me,
And tell me to move on,
But time itself still stops
Each time I think of you,
You make me come unglued,
How I love you.
I love you and nobody else will do.
