Tell Me Straight

Lyrics

I'm longing for your love and affection,
sweet things so near to perfection,
pretty face a man will turn to
when you need someone to see you through.

My life is a constant struggle.
in and out of all kinds of trouble.
But now a light is shining
from your eyes and its a perfect timing.

Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Are you smiling for me when you're near me now?
Can you show me you're glad to know me?
Tell me straight baby, true and clearly now.

This thing I am feeling
it is nothing without you.
I'll go on believing
that one day my dreams come true.

Today I will ask the questions
with all of the right intentions.
Let's spend some time with each other.
We were not born to suffer.

ref

The days grow long before me,
but one word will reassure me
and your smile is all that matters.
It picks me up out of the ashes.

Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Are you smiling for me when you're near me now?
Can you show me you're glad to know me?
Tell me straight baby, true and clearly now.
Tell me straight baby, true and clearly now.....end

Very nice mate, good to see you in this form again. I've been back to writing songs from the kitchen table again with pencil and paper, instead of at the computer and I think some of the magic might be returning. Always good hearing one of your lovely songs with that golden voice. Cheers to you and the loved ones from your friends, Mark and Noy

I know your kitchen table.it is a place of inspiration. I remember well the many friends..two and four legged.

I have three tomb stones outback of the house. But the little dog in the profile pic is still alive on a farm with little kids and other dogs.

Maybe a cooking song in there making one of Noy's dishes analogous to middle age. there must be som fabulous rhymes using the Thai cooking terms.

Ill be in touch a bit more now. Sons wedding on 29th

Marvellous. The words come straight from the heart. The meaning is clear. The delivery is smooth and gentle.

I had found myself wondering yesterday whether I would see more of your work up on YT any time soon. This was worth waiting for.

Shine on mate.
