Song Description

This is a song about the singer responding to a song he is hearing on another person's album...filled with songs about breaking up.. it is an interesting take...but the first line sets up the whole song. I wrote it back in 1966 and recorded it on a high quality suitcase Sony cassette machine with a stereo mic....gained a little review by patching it thru a Super reverb top.... It was recently Awarded a "Best Song" Award from a Music Supervisor Group.....

ORIGINAL VERSION:

VERSE 1
The first time that I heard you sing, we are alone
I was laying on the bed and you were on the headphones
With songs of lovers who had taken you home
For you'd grown tired of waking Sunday's morning's alone

LIFT
The lovers filled the pages
They describe all the stages you've seen
The followers dream and lift their lift their eyes
Wishing they could cause the tears
Singing....

CHORUS
It's time for leaving
I hate to say goodbye
But I gave it my best try
It's time for leaving
I hate to see you go
But there are things we must know for ourselves

VERSE 2
Now, I've heard that you're more beautiful
Than any of your photographs
For the pictures do not capture you
Your loving or your raps

LIFT
The lovers filled the pages
They describe all the stages you've seen
The followers dream and lift their lift their eyes
Wishing they could cause the tears
Singing....

CHORUS
Singing, it's time for leaving
I hate to say goodbye
But I gave my best try
It's time for leaving
I hate to see you go
But, there are things we must know for ourselves
