Classic torch song, but with a twist of lemon and rhyme (ouch!). Hope you like this one, it's my best in ages!

Warning - this not a followup to "Green Eyes" - do not attempt to bop to this one.

Love,
John.

don't look now

I used to think of you once a day
Now it's like a thousand or more
I talked about the weather with every one
Now I'm just a true love bore
What makes it worse is you aren't here
seven days now becomes a year
So shall I shed a single tear
to join the millions already here?

i woke up from a dream of you
to find the nitemare start again
i saw sunshine through windows clear
and went outside and met the rain
the street should see us hand in hand
in pastel colours like Cezanne
this wasn't dreamed, this wasn't planned
this contract writ by waves on sand

Don't look now, my heart is breaking
No big deal, it breaks for you
Small time crime like your desertion
cracks my unsafe heart in two
Don't look now, I'm only dreaming
Of a day that we once had
If another somehow happened
I guess I might be slightly glad, be - slightly - glad...

i tuned in on the radio
people on there said loads of words
but none of them concerning you
so every station sounded absurd
a moment here without your eyes
to drill my heart with sweet surprise
makes this world old but still unwise
and tales of true love are just lies

Don't look now, I'm only dreaming
of a love that I once knew
Children six years old know how
to deal with love better than I do
Don't look now, I'm only sighing
Quietly as a force nine gale
If lovers locked their loves away
you'd never make it out on bail
