Story behind the song
I'm always looking for music to write to.
Came across Paul here on Soundclick and fell in love
with a few of his masterpieces.
I rearranged his original trk, which was called "Girl I Once Knew", then
added a few voices from my Yamaha Keyboard,
( Grand Piano, air choir and Fantasia Synth ).
Hope you like it Paul, Thank You!
If anyone has any music trks to lend in the way of Country,
Blues etc I would LOVE to write to them in exchange for using
the trk to pitch (giving you composer credits, as always).
Am starting to have Paramount in Nashville demo some songs to
pitch to Major Artists so am very excited to see what happens next!
Lyrics
"Boy I Once Knew"
there's a boy I once knew
who was born and then grew
my whole world revolved around him
10 little fingers into everything
2 little feet, always on the go
how I kept up, to this day, well, I don't know
one day he became 18
moved away to his own dream
now he has a new world
I waved goodbye, said I'll miss you, tried not to cry
talked to him the other day
asked him if he's doin' ok
I said son, I love you
you'll always be, the little boy, i once knew
one day he'll have his own son
and life's cycle will rerun
I'll look at him and I'll see the baby he once used to be
10 little fingers into everything
2 precious feet always on the go
how he'll keep up, well, I don't know
he's still the boy I once knew
10 little fingers into everything
2 little feet, still on the go
He's still the boy...in my heart lives the boy
I once knew
