Not the Same (Tribute to Facemask - fellow music maker)

[Mike_S]

I was about to publish this with totally different lyrics when i heard the sad news of a fellow site member. So i rewrote the lyrics today in memory of a fellow music maker and a fine singer.

I didn't really know you,
Like the others did
But you kept the fire burning
You did what you could do
I heard your voice for the first time
Only the other day

It gave a little glow to me
A little sadness too
To see what i'd been missing
If i'd have know you too.

And if you'd stayed around a while
And sang a little bit more
we would all have got to know you just
Just a little more

But now you've gone

It's not the same


You liked to make a little music,
I heard you sing so well
To take away all the sadness
For the ones who cared
To everyone that remembers
You brought a little joy

You know it gave a little glow to me
A little sadness too
To see what i'd been missing
If i'd have know you too.

And if you'd stayed around a while
And sang a little bit more
we would all have got to know you just
Just a little more

But now you've gone

It's not the same

Great tribute Mike, I am sure Robert would be chuffed as to how many people his music has touched.

Very touching lyrics and music. I feel what you say in the lyrics.
A great tribute to Rob, as many other made these days.

I found myself swaying gently to your groove.
Beautiful music, catchy mind-infusing instrumental and touching lyrics.

Touching lyrics and it just goes to show what an impact Rob has made just by being a part of songcrafters alone.
Well done.

Your lyrics really summed up many feelings.
