CHANGE WAS SLOW ( I REMEMBER WHEN)

PHOTOGRAPHY BY J. R HILTON

Note to readers:

I have been writing song lyrics since I was 14 years old.

I have never been in a band.Have never been paid for any of my written material, including all that which is on this blog. I am an accomplished vocalist,just for my own purposes and those to help me write.I am in my late fifties now and it is still my dream to be able to sell the rights to at least of few of my lyrics and see them become recorded by a band that turns them into a hit song. I don't think I am asking too much.

I have never had the means to promote myself in any other way than this,so if I can gain followers here and my readers share my blogs as they see them fit to share, then maybe I have a chance. Sincerely: Jeff 

This song is my latest offering and I think it's pretty damned good.

CHANGE WAS SLOW (I REMEMBER WHEN)

I REMEMBER,WHEN CHANGE WAS SLOW

SO MANY THINGS, WE DIDN'T KNOW

SOME CHANGES TOOK THEIR TOLL

TRIED TO TAKE MY HEART AND SOUL

I REMEMBER NIGHTS, PRAYING ON MY KNEES

FIELDS OF WILDFLOWERS, IN A WARM SUMMER BREEZE

FAR REMOVED FROM NOW, THAT KIND OF COMFORTS GONE

AND TIMES MOVING ALONG,DRIVING CHANGE

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME FOR LONG

 chorus

I REMEMBER DAYS AND NIGHTS

THAT SEEMED LIKE THEY'D NEVER END

I REMEMBER BROKEN HEARTS

AND WISHING THEY WOULD MEND

I REMEMBER INDIAN SUMMERS

THAT MADE US SMILE FOR WEEKS

I RECALL FINDING FREEDOM

WALKING UP AND DOWN CREEKS

OH THE SUN SHONE BRIGHTLY

CASTING DIAMONDS ON THE FLOW

AND WITH THE GREATEST EASE

THE DAY WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL

I REMEMBER CHURCH BELLS ON SUNDAY

THAT I USED TO DREAD 

I PREFERRED DREAMING, TO BEING LED

OH TIME ALWAYS MOVED SO SLOW

I ALWAYS COULDN'T WAIT, FOR SOMEWHERE TO GO

I REMEMBER A RESTLESS SPIRIT

BLOWING IN THE WIND

LOST MY DIRECTION, THEN I FOUND IT AGAIN

I REMEMBER ALL THOSE CHILDHOOD CRUSHES

THAT I GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN

HER AND HER AND HER

NOTHING LIKE I'D EVER SEEN

I REMEMBER WHEN CHANGE WAS SLOW

AND SOMETIMES, I WASN'T SURE WHERE I SHOULD GO
