"I Will Be"

[boneonbone]

Haven't written or posted much of late but did just finish writing a simple acoustic folk ballad on the BR800 (double track acoustic guitar and vocals only).  A song about re-committing ones self to a relationship.  As always, appreciate your critiques and input.



"I Will Be"      
                  
    
It's 2 am and I can't sleep, just tossing in this bed,
Listening to your every breath while thoughts race through my head,
Of the times I should have held you close, but stood aside instead,
A life lived on the outside, looking in.

I never told you just how much of you there is in me,
All the while was blinded, to a love I could not see.
But the fog has finally lifted, and my life is meant to be,
The backbeat to the rhythm of your heart.

Chorus:

Let me be the fire that warms you if the embers start to fade.
Let me be a light that shines for you within.
Let me be all that I should have been those times I lost my way.
Let me be all this and more for you each day.


It takes a love that's iron strong to stir what lies inside.
You managed to bring back to life a part of me that died.
I'm in heaven when in your embrace so please reach out my way.
I love you more than all my words can say.


Chorus:

I will be the fire that warms you if the embers start to fade.
I will be a light that shines for you within.
I will be all that I should have been those times I lost my way.
I will be all this and more for you each day.


(coda)

I will be all that I should have been, now that I found my way.
I will be all this and more for you each day.

Excellent folk song! The two acoustic tracks are killer and compliment each other well. You have a good voice and you sing this with conviction and truthfulness. For minimal tracks this is a very full sounding song. Nice work!

Grabbed me from the start and didn't let go. A simple arrangement, but not simple songwriting or playing. A very thoughtful and beautiful song. And you sing it so well... makes the words come across as so convincing and 'real'. Fantastic.
