JJ's Songs -- Part 2

2007-9-7 05:30:00

Here are some more of my songs. These are all set to music, and unlike the last batch these are love songs. They were all written in my college years except for "Falling in Love Again" which was written for my wife, Artie.

A year in a day
Time seemed to go that way
A year in a day
When I was with you

An hour in a glance
When I looked in your eyes
And a short romance
And there was no time

A year in a day
It's all so very strange
All my cares and sorrows
Are fleeing away... Today.

A long time in a short time
And that's the way it seemed
A year in a day
Passing like a dream.

When I fell for you
I thought I never could
Give any more than I gave to you.
But as the days go by,
Its evident that I
Am feeling more deeply, its true.

Yes, I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.
I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.

I thought we reached a high,
That we could not pass by
And we could never feel any more.
But the way I feel right now
Tells me that somehow
We're going higher than we have before.

Yes, I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.
I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.

I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love with you.
Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love its true.
Falling in love, falling in love, day after day.
Falling in love, falling in love, in so many ways.

There are many ways to fall,
In love again;
I keep finding more and more.
All I have to do,
is just to look at you,
And I'm falling just like I did before.

Yes, I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.
I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again with you.

Love Eyes
My baby has love eyes
And when I sleep at night
I think at night
Of those love eyes
Looking at me

Brown eyes
Her love eyes are brown eyes
And when I dream in the day
I think of a way
To bring those love eyes
Closer to me.

Pretty love eyes
See how they shine
Pretty love eyes
You know they're mine.
Pretty love eyes... for me.

It takes a lot of things to make as pretty face
A good nose and a mouth
Both have their place
But there's one more thing
That she's got to have
Or its no use
She must have love eyes
Love eyes for you.
Love eyes for you.

  

Note: When I was in college I found a popular band that was interested in performing this and promoting it. Then a few days later Nancy Sinatra came out with a song by the same title (Love Eyes) which hit number one in the charts. The band then lost their interest because they didn't want to look like they were copying her.

Actually, I thought my song was much better than hers.

Tell me now what's on your mind
I've got to know what's deep inside
Don't hold it back
And tell me now
What's on your mind.

When you look at me
I often wonder what you see
Your eyes are deep
But you cannot keep
Your thoughts from me.

Come and tell me now
I've got to know what's on your mind
Tell me while we're walking, talking, dreaming, thinking
About the things we used to do.
Come and tell me now
I've got to know what's deep inside
Tell me while we're walking, talking, dreaming, thinking
Thoughts of loving you...

When you stare into space
I want you in my embrace
But first of all
I've got to know
Do you want the same?
