Story Behind The Song

MY OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS ABOUT THE CHANGES IN MY LIFE.

Song Description

AN OLDER PERSON REMEMBERING THE THINGS THEY LOVED THE MOST ABOUT LIVING DAY TO DAY AND NOW IN AWE OF HOW QUICKLY THINGS SEEM TO CHANGE IN LIFE, BUT HOW THEY REALLY DONT. IT'S THE PERSON WHO CHANGES, NOT THE THINGS IN LIFE OR THE WORLD.

Lyrics

IT'S ONLY ME THAT'S NOT THE SAME
VERSE 1
I LOVED THE SILENT SOUND OF FALLING SNOW
THE SOFT GRAY LIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN
HOW GOOD IT FELT
WHEN SOMEONE STOPPED TO SAY HELLO
THE SMELL OF PINEWOOD FRESHLY SAWN
I LOVED THE GOLDEN FIELDS OF SUN RIPE GRAIN
THE WAVES OF GREEN ON WIND SWEPT PLAIN
IT'S THESE FAMILIAR THINGS
THAT SOMEHOW SLIPPED AWAY
THE WORLD CONTINUES ON
AND NOTHINGS REALLY CHANGED
IT'S ONLY ME THAT'S NOT THE SAME

CHORUS
THE SUN STILL RISES THE SUN STILL SETS
AND IN THE SPRINGTIME ROBINS PLAY
THE WORLD CONTINUES ON
AND NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED
IT'S ONLY ME THAT'S NOT THE SAME

INSTRUMENT BREAK

VERSE 2
I LOVED THE MORNING SUN SO SOFT AND WARM
THE PURE SWEET TASTE OF SUMMER RAIN
THE HUSH AND TINGLE
OF THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
THE DISTANT SONG OF SANDHILL CRANES
I LOVED THE SKIES AT NIGHT WHEN SEASONS CHANGED
THE FRAGRANT SCENT OF NEW MOWN HAY
IT'S THESE FAMILIAR THINGS
THAT SOMEHOW SLIPPED AWAY
THE WORLD CONTINUES ON
AND NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED
IT'S ONLY ME THAT'S NOT THE SAME

REPEAT CHORUS (OR GO DIRECT TO BRIDGE)

BRIDGE
THINGS MIGHT HAVE TURNED OUT DIFFERENT
ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE
BUT NO ONE HERE ON EARTH CAN REALLY SAY
ALL THINGS REMAIN THE SAME
TODAY AS YESTERDAY
IT'S ONLY ME THAT'S NOT THE SAME

REPEAT CHORUS ...END
