Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song with jazz influences, accompanied with simple piano, bass, drums and jazz guitar.

Song Description

A reflective jazz number about an old lady reminiscing.

Lyrics

She remembers old friends and lovers lost
Falling rains and rising costs
Christmas presents and morning frost
Ancient clocks and ringing chimes
The old lady remembers happier times

Monochrome photos, fewer cars
Sci-fi movies and men from Mars
Larger skies and brighter stars
Shillings and pence and sweets in jars
Favourite shoes and vintage wines
Long summer days and fishing lines
Old sleepy orchards and endless vines
Birthday cards and Valentines

She remembers old friends and lovers lost
Falling rains and rising costs
Christmas presents and morning frost
Mother goose and nursery rhymes
The old lady remembers happier times

Old country fiddles heel and toe
Gingham waltzes and foxtrots slow
Those Friday nights at the picture show
Walks to school steady as you go

She remembers old friends and lovers lost
Falling rains and rising costs
Christmas presents and morning frost
Pecking orders and social climbs
The old lady remembers happier times
