Story Behind The Song

Just wanted to writ a pop song - found the beat on my Yamaha keyboard and wrote the song around it.

Song Description

A guy in over his head with a beautiful woman lets her know he understands she may leave - just don't let him know.

Lyrics

Ignorance is Bliss
Copyright 2011
Charlie Camp

If you ever lie to me,
tell me that you'll never leave,
promise me you'll never let me know

The when or where or how of it,
the knowledge of just what I'll miss,
will fade at dusk - another sun will rise

(chorus)
Ignorance is bliss I don't want pity, just send me down the road I came in on
Tell me in the morning, just stay with me tonight, 'cause ignorance is such sweet bliss.

This love of ours, it had no plan
when you first took my hand
You and I could leave at any time

And I knew there was a risk
from the first amazing kiss
that I could fall helplessly in love

(chorus)

I can see you've made your mind
to leave the recent passed behind
and chase your dream wherever it may go

So I wish the best for you,
even though it makes me blue
Think of me as I think of you

(chorus)
(lift)
If you ever lie to me,
tell me that you'll never leave,
promise me you'll never let me know

The when or where or how of it,
the knowledge of just what I'll miss,
will fade at dusk - another sun will rise
