No Adversity for Inspiration

In the past most of the songs I have written have been inspired by something bad happening to me – you know: another horrible woman did me wrong again or here I am all alone again. That’s probably been the inspiration for some of the best songs in Rock ‘n’ Roll. But anyway, I wrote a song for my wife back when we first got together (To try and impress her – maybe it worked?) and since then I have been extremely happy and have had no adversity to inspire creativity.

So, finally, I have come up with something happy – about my wife – inspired by a little saying our daughters have:

You’re Everything

I saw you in the movies
I caught a little glimpse of what could be
I never lost that feeling
It grows and grows whenever you’re with me

You’re a Beauty Queen, a Movie Queen
A Pop Star, Rock Star – Everything

You’re everything and I love you
Like the moon and the stars and the whole wide world
You’re everything and I love you
Like the moon and the stars and the whole wide world

It’s plain to see . . . the happiness
The smile on my face – the jubilation.
You give to me . . . everything
Everyday a happy day – a celebration

You’re a guiding hand, a helping hand
A mother, a lover – Everything

You’re everything and I love you
Like the moon and the stars and the whole wide world
You’re everything and I love you
Like the moon and the stars and the whole wide world
