What Matters Most Of All

Writers: Roy Harris and Tom Wilson
Demo: Kevin Wicker, Progress Nashville

I go to work and pay the bills
And mow the grass and such
But when it comes to showing love
I’m really not that much
I usually buy you flowers
On our special days
I thought that it might make up
For the words that I don’t say

I told you that I’d love you
Until the end of time
Joked that I would let you know
If I ever changed my mind
Sometimes I find it hard to say
What I’m feeling all the time
So I’ll try to do the best I can
And put it in these lines

(Chorus)
You’re the cream in my coffee
The sugar in my tea
If they split me down the middle
You’d be the better part of me
There’s so many things in life that matter
But still I can’t recall
Oh but having you beside me
Is what matters most of all

You’re the mother of my children
My lover and my friend
If you put us on a shelf
We'd make perfect bookends
When you look at the big picture
I know I’m really small
But in my world you are the one
That matters most of all

You’re the cream in my coffee
The sugar in my tea
If they split me down the middle
You’d be the better part of me
There’s so many things in life that matter
But still I can’t recall
Oh but having you beside me
Is what matters most of all

There ‘s so many things in life that matter
But still I can’t recall
Oh but having you beside me
Is what matters most of all

Hi Roy & Tom

Wow, I feel so honored to be the first to post. I absolutely love it, very well written, so sweet, that I'm gonna have another listen.

Yipee! BEAUTIFUL!

Hugs Michele

Thanks Michele, glad you like it. We wrote this a couple of years for a Valentine contest (we didn't win) and I'm just now getting around to have it demoed.

Very nice song, lyrics and melody, guys and well performed by Wicker.

I heard this one before. As a Kevin Wicker example I think. Liked it then like it now.
You know, there's just something about some country music that really gets the emotions going. It's gotta be the sound.
Good job.

Hi Roy-I just listened to some of your music to see about Kevin Wickers work and came away loving I Found Jesus on a Sawdust Floor= House Full Of Love is an absolutely great tune= It is the fabulous ole' timey country before somebody screwwed it up
Fantastic work
Tim

This is what every woman wants to find and keep!
Lovely
