10,000 nights

[TPB]

Been working on a couple versions of this song this is the acoustic for my lovely wifes birthday
Lyrics
I am a old man I have lived many a year
Had some good times and lived through some fears

For so long it has been just me and you
Though the years pass I'm still in love with you

BM                      C
For ten thousand nights I went to sleep with you
For ten thousand mornings I heard I love you
And my only wish I hope that come true
Is I get ten thousand more with you
Bm                       C                  D
Now all I want is I hope I get ten thousand more

Well we raise our kids now they all moved away
Each is a little different but they are doing okay
They say with a empty nest you won't know what to do
But that's not our case having too much fun with you

For ten thousand nights I went to sleep with you
For ten thousand mornings I heard I love you
Now all I want is I hope I get ten thousand more

So with the good lord willing I hope I have some more years
Filled with happiness and not to many tears
But there is one thing I always want you to know
You're my heart and breath you are my soul

Happy birthday to the wife hope she has a great day and I,m sure she will love your tune as she does you, well played!

[Greeny]

Tender and heartfelt - it all comes across in the warm, intimate performance. Everything is nicely played and arranged, and the wistful feel of the harmonica is a perfect addition. Nice one :-)

Lovely song and lovely sentiment.
It's great to hear a songwriter that's not afraid to open his heart and let stuff like this pour out.
Some people shy away from writing stuff like this but I love it.
Well done sir and hope you get those 10 thousand more
