Story Behind The Song

This song came about while in college. A few guys got together in my apartment one afternoon. We were drinking and listening to this one person play his guitar. As he played randon guitar pieces I started to sing along with words that I was only "making-up" as I went with his flow. This was in the 80's but since then I've rearranged the lyrics and the whole composition of the song many, many times. Because of the amount of times I've started and stopped working and re-recording on the song, it has evolved into a beautiful song.

This song is very settle-back and easy-going as it approachs it's point of expressing the depths of the relationship, painted by the lyrics. The song makes a clarified statement upon it's entrance and from there it's goes on to accomplish the mission of holding your attention by it's story-line. The drum sections beat at a confortable rhythm with a rich and fullness sound. The vocals are smooth and unique in expression. The song as a whole has lots of depth and meaning.

Lyrics

[Verse One]

One day you said it might be this way, one day watching you walk away

I don?t wanna lose you, I don?t wanna use you, now why don?t you stay?

Many times we?ve seen the stars in the sky

[Chorus]

You can make yourself so lonely, in the land of chance and phonies

Where are your friends when you need them? What make you think you can believe them?

[Verse Two]

One day girl you must realize, there will come a time, you?ll remember me

When you think back to the way darling?we use to be

Eooo Eooo girl, why can?t there come a time?

Please let it come a time baby, when we?ll be

[Chorus]

You can make yourself so lonely, in the land of chance and phonies
Together again
Where are your friends when you need them? What make you think you can believe them?
Together again
You can make yourself so lonely, in the land of chance and phonies

Where are your friends when you need them? What make you think you can believe them?

[Verse Three]

If you ever feel, feel what I feel. Then we could work it out. Cause my love is real

Hurts so hard darling. Why so hard to accept. Yet and still girl, all you, you know I care

I really love you girl


[Chorus]

You can make yourself so lonely, in the land of chance and phonies

Where are your friends when you need them? What make you think you can believe them?

Where are your friends when you need them? Where are your friends when you need them?

What make you think you can believe them? What make you think you can believe them?

[Verse Four]

All I ask of you girl, please come back my way

Springtime brings on a brand new day

And I love you girl. Why why why baby?

Never?never?never go away, I beg you
