"I Can't Lose Her Now" - Doug Newman (by Dwight Newman) take one 8-09

This is a song my brother Dwight wrote and is from my album "The Sandhill Waltz" which can be perused at my websites - dougnewman.com and dougnewmanmusic.com. I'm playing my Harmony Sovereign guitar from the 50's.

6-11 note : Dwight recently added/changed some of the lyrics and the title to "Dina's Song (the love's enough for now). I'll put up a new video of it in the near future. There are takes of the new version at the website. Here are the new lyrics:
Dina's song (the love's enough for now)

She woke up fumblin', lookin' for another cover, she says her feet are cold
I know I should get up, the pilot light's out again
But I lay here listenin' to this December wind
And all she knows is, she sure could use me now

When I was younger I used to dream, I used to wonder, tryin' to picture this
I never imagined this kind of aching cold
I don't know how it happened but we're finally gettin' old
And all we know is, the love's enough for now.

I hear her whisperin' in her sleep---none of it making any sense
Or is it my imagination?
Maybe I almost fell asleep, maybe she never said a word
Who says I need an explanation?

The early morning city sounds, through our window, bring me back again
The frost in the air was never quite like this
And closing my eyes as it carries me off in bliss
All I know is, I'll never lose her now
All I know is
