This is still a work in progress for me....mic placement and guitar arrangement. I'll keep working at it to improve. KL's version are the one's to listen to.



[Verse 1]
You left me standing here
With my heart holding back its tears
And now I'm standing here
Holding on to you

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to recall
The last words that I said at all
Don't think they were goodbye
So I keep holding on

Verse 3
I'm still standing here
Minutes turn into empty years
My mind is lost but my heart's
Holding on to you

[Bridge]
My senses are useless
My body is numb, no emotion left
Everything's frozen in that one moment in time

[Outro]
Don't think that I can move
Where would I go without you?
I don't know what to do
So I keep standing here

I’m so bad at this song stuff that I wonder why
And what I do do da yeah, forget it.


I like rhythm hand clapping, dance around, have funsongs

I like cry in your voice songs.

I like short to the point stuff.

I tried on Kay’s standing here, cause is so frikin crying sad….but I couldn’t get there…too personal, too intimate, needs be careful w that in a public forum.

So I go where?

Bang on the drums, sing any old thing, have fun.

Plus learning the structure is enjoyable…like doing a puzzle and fitting the pieces. The prosody bit, though, is impossibly difficult, no?

**** Thank for playing around with this melody, you're right it is very intimate and personal , sometimes even makes me cry. I try to use the least amount of words I can.

I think you have talents you are unaware of darlin
