NOW AND THEN     © John Birch 84/95.

 

1      When we  first met, you were sixteen

       And you were wearing jeans

       And I suppose  I could say  “I love you”                  

       NOW AND THEN, then and now

 

Ch     Every day come rain or shine

       I wanna make you mine

       No I can’t, stand, you leavin' me baby

       I don’t know what I’d do/to do/I would do, without you

 

Ch2    But I’ll learn

       When you return

       I suppose I could say “I love you”

       NOW AND THEN, then and now...

 

2      When we  first kissed   I was a clown

       And so happy to have you around

       And I suppose  I could say  “I love you”

       NOW AND THEN, then and now

 

       2 x (Ch 1 + Ch 2)

 

       “Now & Then”.

 

 

                   PS: I haven’t had sex with any sixteen year olds.

 

 

 

               I AM BLUE         (C) J.BIRCH I997.

                                                                      

               Over my shoulder   I sling my guitar

               Walkin away   from my love

               I feel so much older   as I get in my car

               Walkin away   from my love

 

               Turn on the key --- And the radio's on ---

               They're talkin to me   with every song

                        

                                                                    

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

                                                                       

                                                                        

               The tears in my eyes   are hard to disguise

               Walkin away   from my love

               I dont want to get wet   still I can not forget

               Walkin away   from my love

 

               Turn off the key --- And the radio fades ---

               The echo in me   picks up and plays

             

                                                                      

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

                                                                                                        

                                                                        

               The call of the chords   is callin my name

               Walkin away   from my love

               The song that I'm singing   was meant to be played

               Walkin away   from my love

           

               Turn off the lights --- And the memory fades ---

               But right now its bright   I sing and play

              

                                                                      

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue
