Wanna Be Someone You Love
Another acoustic/vocal recording at timgallant.com – Wanna Be Someone You Love. This is a love song I wrote ages ago. Always liked the melody but never got it recorded in any form, so here’s a start. I plan to have an electric version on my Anthology Love Collection CD.
One of the cutesy things I was messing around with vocally was a bit BeeGee-ish falsetto harmonies. Let me know how it worked.
Here are the lyrics:
Wanna Be Someone You Love
it’s written on every page, written on every line
it don’t matter where you start
you could see it clear as day, I know that you’re not blind
if only you’d read my heart
it’s more than my pride that’s on the line
can’t you see it in my eyes, read it in my mind
hear it in my voice as I call your name
hear it in the wind in the trees and the rain
hear it in my fears and my tears and my shame
hear it in my schemes and my dreams and my pain
I wanna be someone you love
I wanna be the one you need
someone you care about
the one who bleeds when you bleed
I wanna be someone you love
I wouldn’t say this unless I meant every word
I’m not just out in the stars
oh please don’t think I’m foolish, cause I’ve thought this through
so won’t you please read my heart
I wanna be someone you love….
don’t matter what you say to me
as long as it’s “yes”
don’t matter what you give to me
as long as it’s your best
I wanna be someone you love….
It’s more than my pride that’s on the line….
I wanna be someone you love….
