Goodbye For Now

Liner Notes

For Phoebe.
The chord progression and part of the melody are stolen from a song I wrote a long, long time ago but it wouldn't leave me alone so here's this.

Lyrics

The alarm clock will ring and I'll turn it off
I make sure every little step will land soft
You know I love you
But goodbye for now

I close the door, get into my car
Wish I could stay wherever you are
You know I love you
But goodbye for now

Sometimes I wonder
What it was that I did
To deserve an angel like you
I didn't earn it
(I freely admit) This love that you give
Sometimes it's given to fools

The light of predawn will light my way
I sneak back in so I can say say
You know I love you
But goodbye for now
You know I love you
But goodbye for now

Nice little love tune. Like the sneaking around earlier in the morning and sneaking back in at the end. Nice guitar hooks.

Emotive sing and melody. I like how you play this and I like how the "alarm and predawn" keep us in time with what is going on. Really like it!!

That's a swell guitar intro! And I dig the lyrics so much - seems like a sneaking-out song the first two verses and then turns into a love song. Sweet vocal, too. Good one!
