A song written in 1995 inspired by Phil Collins song Another Day in Paradise and a David Crosby song that title escapes me about a bum. A remix of a song and replaced my original vocals because I had a cold when I originally did this. New 5/2010
Story behind the song
Phil Collins Another Day in Paradise and also a David Crosby song out around the same time on the same subject. Lead vocals were redone May 2010 as I had an obvious cold on this original track. A song written on the piano an instrument I am limited on. But piano nonetheless.
Lyrics
Only Love
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 12/1995
It happens everyday
On every corner and every street
A man wakes up
And he wonders
where he’s been
He’s been living a lie
For so long
That he doesn’t know the truth
And he wonders how he got here
And when he lost his youth
Now only love
Can set him free
Yes, only Love
Can set him free
He thinks about the past
As he looks into the mirror
And the lines on his face
Tell the story of the years
He’s been trying so hard
For so long
Just to make it
Through another day
And he wonders when he
Got here and when he lost his way
Now only love
Can set him free
Yes, only Love
Can set him free
It happens everyday
On every corner and every street
A man wakes up
And he wonders
where he’s been
He’s been living a lie
For so long
That he doesn’t know the truth
And he wonders how he got here
And when he lost his youth
Now only love
Can set him free
Yes, only Love
Can set him free
He thinks about his life
As he trys to hide the tears
And the lines on his face
Show the heartbreak of the years
He’s been trying so hard
For so long
but the words get in the way
It doesnt matter how he got here
he has nothing left to say
Love will set him free,
Love will set him free,
Love will set him free
