A romantic love song with a lot of resolve.


THROUGH MY WINDOW

c1995 Brian Beecher



I’m not likely to meet new people
Through work contacts of existing friends
Just when I least expected it
You came into my life again

Do not stand on your dignity
I’ve been told, baby can’t you see
This time I’ll let my reserve
Take a back seat

And through my window
I’m anticipatin’ seeing you tonight
In the winners circle
Is where I’ll be when you hold me tight

All through the summer heat
And the winter snow
I’ll stay beside you
Anywhere you go

And I feel a real warm glow
Through my window

By sitting down together
To share the family evening meal
We can learn about each other
And the way we really feel

And then we can watch a TV show
Or maybe rent out a video
If you suggest a board game
I’ll agree also

And through my window
I’m anticipatin’ seeing you tonight
In the winners circle
Is where I’ll be when I hold you tight

All through the summer heat
And the winter snow
I’ll stay beside you
Anywhere you go
And I feel a real warm glow
Through my window

I know that I will never
Want to run and hide
If you can show you are on my side

And through my window
I’m anticipatin’ seeing you tonight
In the winners circle
Is where I’ll be when I hold you tight

All through the summer heat
And the winter snow
I’ll stay beside you
Anywhere you go

And I feel a real warm glow
Through my window

Hi again,

I think this is very well done. Maybe a word trimmed here and there, but overall, I like this. I think this was much more planned out, or seems so, than A Greater Chance. This tells the story, or at least the outline, enough to draw me in, I like that. Nice writing.

I've only read two of your lyrics (that I know of, so far) The first, A Greater Chance, I would have assumed the writer (you) was maybe in the early 20's at the most. This one reads as if the writer is in maybe late 40's to mid 50's, just due to the phrasing used. Pretty cool skill to have!

Writers can often put themselves in the shoes of others through their writing. I don't believe that I had someone of a much younger age in mind when I wrote "A Greater Chance," but will accept your interpretation of it. After all John Prine wrote a classic song from the viewpoint of an old woman. (Angel from Montgomery).

Brian,

I'm with Caroline, this is pretty well written.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for the comments. It's a nice change to have someone make a comment on one of my lyrics. But then again, if nobody posts maybe it means they think the lyric is OK as is. There are many I have posted that I thought for sure would strike a nerve with a lot of people, but nobody ever replied to them. I'm glad at least someone is paying attention.

Peace,
Brian

Brian..just wanted to say hello, I`m not much of a critic
so I can`t give you advise. the song is well written, as for me I might add a little, or take a little here and there to get it
to flow with music. but thats me. I see you write quite a bit. keep after it good job.
