about

My wife and I have been married nearly 15 years, and I've been trying to write her a song for longer than that.

I used Garageband riffs to create the accompaniment. Hopefully that's not cheating. I'm really really happy with it.

lyrics

Entwined in sheets and pillows in our bed I am with you
Kids are downstairs playing, sunday hours always are too few
Soon will be time to get up
The chores, they never let up
But I just hold you closer
Your head upon my shoulder
Don't want to let you go now
I hold you tight cause I love you

The cold outside is staying, until the months of springtime new
The kids play super heroes, on our phones I chat with you
Soon will be time to pick up
New songs and paints to set up
I want to hold you closer
Your head upon my shoulder
Don't want to let you go now
I hold you tight cause I love you

TV With dogs and pillows, on the couch I am with you
Kids are upstairs sleeping, tomorrow bringing schoolwork new
Soon will be time to go up
The tiredness just builds up
So I will hold you closer
Your head upon my shoulder
Don't want to let you go now
I hold you tight cause I love you

Back in the sheets and pillows in our bed I am with you
Dogs and kids are sleeping, dreaming of tomorrow too
Soon will alarm bells wake up
The workday never lets up
Now I just hold you closer
Your head upon my shoulder
Don't want to let you go now
I hold you tight cause I love you

I love you
