Once Again

[Nelson]

Well Class, today I'm merging one of the few finger picking patterns I have,
with my abuse of the keyboard.    

Seriously though, I'm still trying to compose some piano stuff.

One thing I'm trying here is playing a melody under the verses but not the exact melody of the vocals and not have it adversely competing with the vocals.

Once Again

Chorus:
Hey love, it's me again. Here to sing you another song.
Wearing, my heart my sleeve, again.
Heaven help me to be strong.
Verse 1
As I gaze upon the window seal, I see a bird and wonder, is it real.
It looks at me I smile it spreads its wings, then stares for awhile.
Then it's gone and once again, I'm all alone.
And once again I'm all alone.

Walking on the beach, bare feet. No one around, just you and me.
I never felt so happy in all of my life.
Then you slipped from my hands and drifted out to sea.
Screamed your name and feel to my knees.
Opened my eyes, it was all just a dream.
And once again I'm all alone.
And once again I'm all alone.

Guitar break
Chorus
Hey love, it's me again. Here to sing you another song.
Wearing, my heart my sleeve, again.
Heaven help me to be strong.

Verse 2
We were running through the fields, like children at play.
Trying to fit a life time into a, single day.
My heart's filled with joy. Then my world loses sound.
I turn around and you're gone.
And once again I'm all alone
And once again I'm all alone.

So you want to know why, I never give up. When it comes to love I see a half full cup.
Only, yourself to blame, cause you can't win love, if you ain't, in the game.
The best laid plan is no guarantee. Love means, giving away what you need.
And when you think you have it as it should be, you wake up to find, it's all just a dream.
And they're gone.
And once again you're all alone.
And once again you're all alone.

Superb songwriting and performing (as alaways). Fine lyrics as well! The guitar solo is great around 2 minutes - beautiful tones!

It is a pleasure to listen this while drinking my morning coffee.
