Story Behind The Song
I write my silly little songs in my head while I work my job, thereby allowing me to cheat on my job. I picture the chords and the melody, and then later- when I have to time- I work it all out with a guitar.

Lyrics
italktoyou
words & music: David Allen Downs
performed by: Diane & Dave
{SPOKEN WORD}: Now listen here, honey/I've got some talkin' to do/That's right, young lady/I'm talkin' to you.
{SUNG}: I talk to you/When you're not around/When I'm on the road/A'coverin' ground.
I talk to you/I talk to you/When I'm alone I talk to you.
If you're fast asleep/And I'm in the crowd/I say things to you/Right out loud.
I talk to you/You know I do/When I'm alone I talk to you/It's lovely just to talk to you.
You may be in L.A. or Valencia/Off on some exotic vacation/Still you're right there with me in absentia/We have ourselves a lovely conversation.
When I'm far away from our happy home/I don't write and I don't phone.
I talk to you/I swear it's true/When I'm alone I talk to you/So lovely just to talk to you.
{SPOKEN WORD}: Ya know what's funny?/Even when I'm all alone/If I'm outta town or if you're far home/I'm never lonely, I'm never blue/Cuz I'm so doggone busy just talkin' to you.
You may be in L.A. or Valencia/Off on some exotic vacation/Still you're right there with me in Valencia/We have ourselves a lovely conversation.
When I'm far away/From our happy home/I don't write and I don't phone.
I talk to you/I talk to you/When I'm alone I talk to you/It's lovely just to talk... to... you.
