Tell Me What You Like
by nila kay
Tell me what you like, tell me what you like
and I'll give it to you
whatever you want, whatever you want
I think I can do
I can make you breakfast on a Sunday
crispy pancakes and fluffy eggs
and I might just let you feel my legs
Tell me what you like, tell me what you like
and I'll give it to you
whatever you want, whatever you want
I think I can do
I can iron out the creases from your pleated pants
and in the morning I can help you look stylish
and then I might let you look under my dress
Cause you make me swoon
under the moon in June
and 2 + 2 = me and you
and our hearts going boom boom boom
forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Tell me what you like, tell me what you like
and I'll give it to you
whatever you want, whatever you want
I think I can do
I can help you wash your car with soap and steam
and I can help vacuum underneath the backseat
and then I'll let you undo my bra......tee hee!
Cause you make me swoon
under the moon in June
and 2 + 2 = me and you
and our hearts going boom boom boom
forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Tell me what you like, tell me what you like
and I'll give it to you
whatever you want, whatever you want
I think I can do
tell me what you like, tell me what you like
whatever you want, whatever you want
forever and ever and ever and ever and ever....
-the end!
had to do a fun silly one for my last one! : ) It's been a fun week of writing a love song a day! now it's time for Valentine's Day weekend!
wooohooo!
Song #6 was inspired by a part of the book "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks (he also wrote "The Notebook"). There is a part in the book where the dad lays dying in his bed trying to comfort his little son, who he just told that he's dying..He tells him about that stream of light that sometimes shines through the window and looks kind of God-like or heavenly or something..he says that's me, "I'll be the light in the window" So there it is here's the song:
The Light in the Window
by Nila Kay
He lays cradled in a hospital bed
tucked beneath the crisp white linen
He's propped up by pillows
because his body is giving in
Each breath he takes is a sliver of pain
and each heartbeat makes him wonder what he could have changed
then he lets go
because he sees the light in the window
he hears a whisper in the wind
saying don't be afraid, be brave
follow the light in the window
His son sits for hours in a chair by his side
watching his father with tired eyes
he shakes like a baby bird
because he knows this is goodbye
and each moment is a gem
as he wonders what his last words should be to him
then his father reaches out and says
I'll be the light in the window
I'll be a whisper in the window
Don't be afraid, be brave
This life is so hard to hold.
Like the light in the window.
It's a search for faith,
a journey to love
A search for God, a search for God...
He is the light in the window
He's a whisper in the wind
saying don't be afraid, be brave
there will be darkness, but you'll find your way,
just like the light in the window.
well, so far all of my love songs have been positive, so I thought I'd balance it out with a sad one. I was trying to write a ballad, but it's pretty hard for me, but it's my best shot!
How Can I Face the World
by me
It was a normal Sunday morning
40 degrees and partly cloudy
*We went for pancakes at our favorite place to dine
in the city
It was 9:30 and my 4th sip of coffee,
when you looked in my eyes and told me, it's over.
and my heart beat in slow motion
How can I face the world without you?
It's such a cruel world without you
cause I'm just a puppet at the office,
and I'm just a silouette at the bus stop
and I am stranger in this city, tell me
How can I face the world?
It was another perfect weekend
you and me at the beach
we got a room, with a beautiful postcard view
of the ocean
it was 7:30 and our 4th time lovemaking
when I looked in your eyes, and my heart beat in double time
and I wondered out loud how I
How did I face the world without you?
It was a cruel world without you
I was a puppet at the office,
and I was a silouette at the bus stop
and I was a stranger in this city, tell me
How did I face the world
I'll never know just where we went wrong
I keep looking back and I can't figure it out
I'll never know just where we went wrong
I keep looking back and I can't figure it out, please tell me
How will I face the world without you?
It's such a cruel world without you
I'm puppet at the office, and I'm just a silouette at the bus stop
and I am a stranger in this city, tell me
How will I face the world?
~the end~
*this song was inspired by the movie 500 days of Summer, when they broke up they were eating pancakes! such a good movie!
Come, it's only 12 in the morning and your brown eyes look so...
Speak, like you're whispering your prayers to me,
cause your voice makes me go
oh oh oh your the king of
pillow talk, don't stop
this is our reality
all we want is a jet-stream over
mountains of trouble, we cushioned by bubbles of
pillow talk.
Flow, like a river to my ocean
cause your touch feels so right
Take, like a thief who's sneaking up behind me
you know that makes me go
oh oh oh, I'm your queen of
pillow talk, don't stop
this is our reality
all we got is a jet-stream over
mountains of trouble, we're cushioned by bubbles of
pillow talk
hurry up get on, this flight is fueled by love
whatever's out there doesn't matter tonight love
we only have until the morning comes
so give me some
pillow talk, don't stop
this is our reality
all we want is a jet-stream over
mountains of troubles, we're cushioned by bubbles of
pillow talk.
-the end! : )
*hey this song came out of nowhere, and i like it! could fix it with some more detail in the future...
Here is a slightly better recording with guitar. thanks for listening, I think? am I talking to myself (again)?
ps: this song is corny, yes. with every day of this 7 day project, the problem is worsening! rats! just call me cornball jenkins!
Ah! song #2 is late--the power went out last night, so I couldn't post. This is really rough, I recorded it in the dark with marlon (that's who I'm talking to at the end) and there's no guitar on it, I'll post one with guitar tonight. This song is the cheesiest! but you know what...I'm just proud of the fact that I can go there!
Every Minute of You
You wake up in the morning
rub the sleep out of your eyes
You shuffle past my bedroom,
and yell out as you go by
wake uuup mommy
and I say
can i get 10 more minutes to sleep?
please, you're killing me
and I get mad, and you get sad
but I really just want to tell you that
I love everyday of every hour, of every minute of you
You're finally done with school
you've got your big old back pack
you hop into the back seat and then
you quickly ask
mom, do you have any candy?
I say not till you eat all your broccoli!
I swear to God, it's yummy!
then you pout, and then I shout
but I just want to tell you now,
I love everyday of every hour, of every minute of you
morning to night, the days go by so fast
it's like, it happens in the blink of an eye
it happens in the blink of an eye
in the blink of an eye I love you
every day of every hour of every [*2,629,743.83] minutes of you
