Don't think I ever posted this song about my love--Now I've aged a little, this one of my positive favorites!

YOUR SWEET LOVE
© 2020 Mackie Humphries
V1
I know it’s late - did I wake you
I’m callin’ from - this Greyhound bus
Put on that red gown - it light’s my candle I
’m cravin’ more - of your sweet love.
V2
Every night away - I missed your touch
Been dreaming of - your lips on mine
Taking me places - only you dare
Fly me higher - ... one more time.
CH
Lay your sweet love - on me tonight
Make me moan - and make me cry
Don’t ever stop - not ‘til I die
You are the best - part of my life
Lay your sweet love - on me tonight.

BR
I am nothing - girl without you
You’re my whole life - so right and true.

......................RIFF.......................

CH 2
Lay your sweet love - on me tonight
Make me moan - and make me cry
Don’t ever stop - not ‘til I die
Lay your sweet love - on me tonight

TAG
Make me moan - and make me cry
Don’t ever stop not ‘til I die
Lay your sweet love on me
Lay your sweet love on me
Lay your sweet love on me tonight
Lay your sweet love on me tonight
Yeah Baby....need your sweet love..............fading

Great to see you posting again, Mackie:

A knockout song with the ability to create a blush here or there. Bob Hope would have been "censored" back in the WWII days... but you've told nothing but truth. I sit here wondering who I would entice to "cut a record" with this on the "A" side... and "Ol Possum" comes to mind.

Thanks for sharing. ----Dave

Dave--

Thanks for your input on this song!

I started this song back several years ago--it seems like yesterday--It was a private conversation of intimacy returning from a trip.

Never had in mind who would cut this kind of song!

If I had to pick someone, it could be done by an artist like Ferlin Husky or Kenny Rogers--today's artists: Kenny Chesney or Darius Rucker.

I appreciate you taking time to give this song a spin.

Tom--

Been away for a while--Slowly getting back into writing--Have been listening to all kinds of music--Youtube has so much to choose from, I'm into Country, Blues, older Rock, and Rockabilly!

I appreciate you checking this one out.

You have so much to write about in the Islands--I have a small Hawaiian guitar that's no bigger than a UKE!

LAVA LUV I named her!

Another good romantic love song from you--as always, you paint a real picture that most can relate to -- (too bad I relate so long ago)!

I appreciate your input on this song!

I listened to several of your songs--you may be the only writer that I know playing a UKE! Old Aurthur Godfrey was a UKE man!

I never had one, and don't know to play one.

The music sounds more like a murder ballad than a love song. But the unexpectedness sounds great!

It adds a haunted feeling, which somehow works very well.

Thanks for your input--Yes, me and my Fender Guitar and Amp have Murdered a few--this song was supposed to be a longing, lonesome sound; riding that Grayhound looking forward to be with my one and only!

Hi Mackie
I liked the lyrics and the Elvis vibe going on - you've got a great voice for this genre.
I found the riff interesting but seemed a bit inconsistent if you know what I mean.

Nice one smile

Appreciate your thoughts on this song!

I have no claim to being a real Guitar Player-- I leave it to others or use backing tracks. GARAGEBAND is used to humbly present a song. JPF has helped tremendously for the last 11 years here!

Straightforward and heartfelt, I enjoyed it. If I had to make a suggestion it would be to look at the greyhound bus line. At the start it sounds like he's far away so it's hard to see how she'd "lay her love" on him tonight. So my thought is making it clearer he's arriving home at the start and that it's a reunion song.

Hi Mackie,
I don't think you've ever posted it either, and if you did it slipped by me. Very very nice! This shows the difference between a sexy country song and so much of the crap out there today. They feel they have to describe in rude/crude detail every act, while country just needs to imply. Well done!

"Lay your sweet love on me tonight" now there´s not much more you can really add to that but you did and it works. Enjoyed the listen.

It's always a pleasure to get your input!

Back in time, I rode the bus: Trailways or Grayhound--Whichever would get me back home. The phones then, were simple and you had to pull the antenna all the way out--and then the call may drop out!

We've come a long way, my Music Brother!

Thanks for lending your ears!

Mackie,

Not sure how I missed this one, but glad I finally stopped in. Among the best I’ve heard from you, no doubt. A few good suggestions above to consider, but it works really well for me as is. Nice work on the vocals on this, and as others have noted, the riff carries it through. Nicely done!

All my best,

Deej
