Grateful aka The Real Song

from Tales and Tunes 2020 by Meren King

/

about

I started writing this song in September of 2009, and I finally finished it in September of 2019. 10 years in the making, this little song about family, phambly, and friends, the songwriting journey, and our own journeys in life makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy, too.

lyrics

So they ask, how I spend my days
And I think how to answer this
In an honest way but I don't know how to say
Really what, is on my mind, because

All I think about is you
I can't help it, going over every
Thing we ever said
And every touch we felt

And I know, that you are far from me
And I won't be able to see you my friend,
And I surely miss you
But I'll be fine, 'cause

I'm so Grateful, for the time we spent
And the laughter, that you shared with me, oh yes

There's no second verse to this song
Yeah that's right, but I'll keep playing it
And singing right along
Perhaps the words will come in right on time
Yeah that's fine, because You

Make me want to sing, You
Make me want to play, You
Make me want to write straight from my heart and I
Just want to share my world with you, because You

Smiled, spoke, sang and laughed, with me

Sometimes we're silent,
Don't pass a word between,
But we don't need to,
For us to know, just, who we are and I
Don't know why it is, But it just is, and
When we meet again, its like we've never left

Ah - ah... oh yes
Ah - ah.. oh yes
Ah - ah -- ah ah ah - ah ah
Ah - ah - Oh yes, well

Maybe this will help me write The Real Song
And I can sing it for you,
'Cause it'll really be mine, and I
Can say all of the things that are in my
Head and Heart
My
Soul and Body!

But until then,
Its just going to be a little ditty
I sing to my Phambly
Yeah
"Cause
All I think about is You
Ever present
My mind's shadow
And everything I do
I share with You

And I know, that you are far from me
And I won't be able to see you for a while
And that's all right my friend,
We'll just keep on Walkin'

And I'm So Grateful
For the time we spent
And the laughter
That you shared with me, oh Yes

Ah - Ah, Oh Yes
Ah - Ah Oh Yes
Ah - ah - ah ah ah ah ah
Ah - ah ah
Oh... yeeeaaahhhhh
