Just a middle aged singer/songwriter sharing the work.
Hobbyist singer/songwriter/guitarist who's been quiet for 10 years. Decided to get the songs out there now. Had dreams of the big time, but know it isn't going to happen now and that's okay. I still love music, writing and recording and want to share my work with people.

Story behind the song
Colin Hay song I liked so decided to give it a go. Acoustic/vocal arrangement mostly done live to track.
Lyrics
I drink good coffee every morning It comes from a place that's far away And when I'm done I feel like talking Without you here there is less to say Don't want you thinking I'm unhappy What is closer to the truth Is that if I lived till I was a hundred and two I just don't think I'll ever get over you I'm no longer moved to drink strong whiskey I shook the hand of time and I knew that if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs I just don't think I'll ever get over you Your face it dances and it haunts me your laughter is still ringing in my ears I still find pieces of your presence here even after all these years I don't want you thinking that i don't get asked to dinner cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do and even though I may seem to feel a touch of love I just don't think I'll ever get over you if I live till I was a hundred and two I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Hi Brett, oh my, what a gorgeous acoustic guitar sound. Played beautifully too. I don't know the song at all but your version is absolutely wonderful. Your vocals are outstanding. It's amazing what you can do with just your voice and an acoustic guitar...excellent.
