Song for C. (Marry Me)
lyrics for guitar
[To a sort of samba/ bossa nova jazz beat.]
You know I loved you
From the first time
I saw you, baby,
With tears in your blue-green eyes
Who was this lovely woman-child
Who was this lovely woman
This sad sexy lady free & wild
I told her I thought she was special
She said she felt that way too
We smiled & said our hellos again
But I want to be more
Than a friend
I want to be much more
Than a friend
I want to be much more
Than a friend to you
[Spoken: So let’s cut through all the bullshit and…] [ optional ]
[Directions: Vocalist can vary the “marry me” & “happiness” phrases in the !st 3rd 5th & 7th lines in the chorus to 2x rather than 3x.]
So just marry me marry me marry me
& we’ll go from there
So just marry me marry me marry me
& we’ll go somewhere
To our happiness happiness happiness
Happiness I swear
To our happiness happiness happiness
I will take you there
You know how I love you
You know how I care
I put nothing above you
Not the earth & not the air
But I want to be more
Than a friend
I want to be much more
Than a friend
I want to be much more
Than a friend to you
[Spoken: So let’s cut through all the bullshit and…] [ optional ]
[Directions: Vocalist can vary the “marry me” & “happiness” phrases in the !st 3rd 5th & 7th lines in the chorus to 2x rather than 3x.]
So just marry me marry me marry me
& we’ll go from there
So just marry me marry me marry me
& we’ll go somewhere
To our happiness happiness happiness
Happiness I swear
To our happiness happiness happiness
I will take you there
So just marry me marry me marry me
Marry me marry me marry me
Marry me marry me marry me
We’ll take it all from there
Its not beyond repair [optional: Yes it is…Maybe not]
We’ll take it all from there
[fade out]

*Note: I've composed music for this song but that will perhaps be posted at a later time; either audiofile or video. Plan a demo/extended play CD with this & at least one other song, probably "In High School, 1969: a protopunk piece".
