Listen, enjoy the vocal and guitar or piano music of David Derbes.
NOTE: I've added some piano "instrumental only" songs on my music page. They are labeled as Piano in the title. Most are located towards the bottom of the page. Hi everyone! I'm a 49 year old part-time musician/songwriter with several years of various experiences. My ultimate goal is to have some songs published and recorded. All recordings of the songs were recorded with a simple cassette tape recorder. I'll try to keep the "News" section updated as things develop.

Lyrics
Sometimes Life Is Just That Way Words and Music by David Derbes Verse 1 She’s just home from school with tears in her eyes. Kids are kids and they were telling lies. As she told me her story, she said “Daddy, what do I do?” I wiped another falling tear Said “I know what you’re going through. Chorus Sometimes you gotta be strong Sometimes you go alone And other times you do what you think is right. Sometimes the answer lies Right before your very eyes And then there are those hard lessons learned Sometimes life is just that way Sometimes life is just that way Verse 2 I got another call, another bill overdue My credit card is maxed through the roof. There ain’t no way in hell I’m gonna pay this bill on time. I laid my head in cradled hands and found peace with this in mind. Chorus Verse 3 I met a friend today, who came to share some news His wife’s run out and he was feelin’ blue So I sat and listened, heard she took the kids too. I watched as he broke into tears, Said I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Chorus Tag Sometimes life is just that way Sometimes life is just that way Copyright © 2007 David Derbes
