lovesong by lila burns (original ukulele / mandolin song)

play it back on the backs of your eyelids before you forget
that dream that felt like it could just last forever though you might never see it again
didn't the details just fade away
and everything seemed just right
though you swear you've never been there
its like you lived your whole life there last night

born into a world that only you could think up
met everyone again while lying in your bed
and it's all in your head
but your mind can be as big as you need it to be
and i need it to be just big enough to think about you and me

i'm only singing this cos there's no words to say
about the things i've been dreaming of day after day
after days of consuming thoughts of you
this song was the only other thing i could do
and it's pretty darn indirect but every bit is true
it's for you, oo

but dreams are only dreams
if you keep them that way
and shooting stars never
tell you what to say
how long will you wait for "someday"

Great work!

Wow! How long has this been sitting here without my having noticed it? A year? Aazing.

Poeticly, it is outstanding. Your vocals fit well to the tempo and the quirkiness of the lyrics. I must see more of your work.

This is a great original song Lila. Very well written lyrics. Nice interplay between the uke and mandolin. I put your video in the "Ukulele Originals 2" playlist on The Songwriters Collection Channel....Kathy
