All music, tenor sax, piano, drumloop/bass, strings, hand played on Yamaha keyboard, 12-string Guitar and vocals sung by Alexis Patrick. Nothing fancy.
Story behind the song
Life happens, and humans are taught to be patient, and, then again, maybe, people do not get what they want in life, anyway.
It was not easy for me to play in the sax on keyboard and try to play it like my late and great father, Ted Patrick Sr. played his tenor saxophone in our band with my brother Ted Patrick Jr. and a few other musicians. Our father passed away much too young. I miss my mom and dad, and I miss our band.

Song Title... IF YOU EVER
Verse 1...You tell me just how fine you are
You're happy with your new guitar.
You tell me how you've travelled far ,
All around the world.
Spending time with your new friends
That's not where your story ends.
Everywhere your soul descends,
With your wings unfurled, unfurled.
Bridge... If you ever get so lonely,
And you need a place to be,
If you need a one and only,
You can come to me , endlessly.
Verse 2... I'm happy that you called today.
Even though you're far away
Your voice just really made my day,
And hearing what you do.
You found a girl to hang out with,
You said she loves Aerosmith.
Her father is a rich goldsmith,
She's everything to you, to you.
Bridge.. If you ever get so lonely,
And you need a place to be,
If you need a one and only,
You can come to me , to me.
