Over You

strummindude

A couple of ornate melodies on a string that Will worked really hard to decorate with words. Since the song has basically two different melodic themes, the idea is to portray a relationship from two perspectives.

Over You
(Words by Will Gough, Music by Jana Persson)

Can I hope to
Get to know you
Maybe get to
Say hello
Could you be that special someone
Who will stay with me for life
Can I hope that one day I will watch
over you
over you

Been alone maybe far too long
Wondering just what I’d done wrong
Tiring of the same old song
Playing Jane to the wrong King Kong
Time has such a way of changing you
And I had given up on meeting you
If I had been alone I’d make it through
Those days are over now that I spend them
with you

Now I know you
Don’t know how you
Ever got through
This alone
Have you found that special someone
Who will stay with you for life
Baby if you will stay I will watch
over you
over you

Time to go out and change the tune
Time to melt all the snow in June
Didn’t know you would come so soon
Bringing back all the sun at noon
Time has such a way of changing you
And I had given up on meeting you
If I had been alone I’d make it through
Those days are over now that I spend them
with you
