Singer (2004)

Lyrics & Music: P. M. Coleman


<< chorus >>
You are the singer in my life,
make everything sound right.
We go up to your room, you sing
your mesmerising tune.

I won't lay down my guitar - 
We can make it far.
This talented elation, we should
play it for the nation.

<< Skat >>
Lai dai dai, de dai da-i dai.
Lai dai dai, dai da-i dai da-i.
Lai de-dai dai, de dai da-i dai.
Daaaa-aaaa.

<< verse 1 >>
You seemed happy,
when you met me,
Who thought that when we started,
that this is how it'd be.

We were jamming,
the harmonies we'd form -
and quiet lifeless days now seemed
exceptions to the norm

<< verse 2 >>
And your love showed,
when the words flowed,
as we'd write another tune when the 
night was growing old.

You were singing, 
the emotions coming out -
I found it hard to concentrate, it
made me want to shout

<< chorus >>
You are the singer in my life,
make everything sound right.
We go up to your room, you sing
your mesmerising tune.

I won't lay down my guitar - 
We can make it far.
This talented elation, we should
play it for the nation.

...
etc.
maybe solo over skat chords, 
ending in modulated chorus
