Just Before Sunrise

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, sorry been missing for a while, I've been laid a bit low with (in more ways than one) with a bad back, I have three or four prolapsed vertebrae which play up every so often. Anyway I've had some treatment and they are ok again for about 8-10 months then off we go again.
I put a few chords together and some rather banal lyrics and rather than throw it in the bin I thought I'd better post something just to keep my hand in. Rather simplistic but I hope you enjoy.    Willie

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you
I was watching the starlight on your hair
Now that you're awake can I hold you
Just before sunrise can we make love.

I didn't think that you would ever want me
I'm just an ordinary guy
But I thank god that we're together now
Just before sunrise can we make love

Can't tell you how much I love you
Can't tell you I love you so much

Inst

Now that you're awake can I hold you
Just before sunrise can we make love.

Hi Willy.
Hope you're ok now. You know you're getting old when your back goes out more times than you 
Seriously tho, this is a great song. It's so soothing & the production is spot on. Especially like the guitar. It's perfect in every way. Cheers.

So sorry to hear about your back. I don't know what you channeled into this tune, but you really knocked it out of the park. The stark (yet huge) production works so well with these lyrics. You make it sound almost like a tosser in the description and yet it's anything but...

That was bloody marvelous.

Downloaded.

I hope your back is better, soon!

Beautiful ballad and with keys this sounds to a classic pop song from the 80's! Peaceful and enjoyable listening!

Hey Willie, been a while since I've heard a post of yours - Still pro and tight as always. Sorry about your back, hope your treatment keeps well!

Great tune!

Great work, Willie... love that restful keyboard wash in the background. As ever, your skills as a wordsmith shine through - great lyric, mate. Sorry to hear about your back - as someone who's had the odd touch of sciatica, I know how debilitating back pain can be. Glad to hear you're on the mend, mate.

[Hook]

To use my favorite "willieism", checks  all the right boxes for me!
Rock on!

[Ella]

Very nice! Beautiful guitar-sound and Words!

Thanks for sharing this Willie. The words are lovely, and you have a rounded sound that doesn't need fancy frills. The guitar is great, and your vocals have a delicious graininess that contrasts nicely with the lush backing.

You took me on a nice ride here. I want to hear more.
