One Faded Picture of You

Hi all, not quite a hot off the press but fairly warm. Hope you enjoy. Willie

Guild Starfire, Gretsch?, Ibanez Bass, Drums BR800 and JD-Xi pads

I sail away for a year and a day
I spend my time just dreaming of you
And in the night when the stars are so bright
I dream that you and I say I do

But with the sun the dreams are all gone
They've taken all my memories to
My bed is cold I've got no-one to hold
And I've only got a picture of you

It's faded now but still somehow
Your beauty still shines through
And though you're gone and so it seems
I can still see you in my dreams

Instrumental

But with the sun the dreams are all gone
They've taken all my memories to
My bed is cold I've got no-one to hold
And I've only got a picture of you

It's faded now but still somehow
Your beauty still shines through
And though you're gone or so it seems
I can still see you in my dreams

And I can't wait for the Nightime again
When I slip into your waiting arms
We slip away for that year and a day
And I hope the daytime never comes

I enjoyed it.

Nobody does a lead line quite like you, Willie - always a pleasure to listen to.

Yet another beautiful ballad from you, Willie.

This song is like a warm wave washing over my ears, great work Willie! You have this country rock ballad style down pat. Your lead vocal is right on and the guitar solos fit the music like a glove. Nice work!
