Twice Around: Songs
Sometimes Your Love ((lyrics))
Frank: Just a basic ‘not sad’ love song. We should all have one. Was written around 1989, and I decided to resurrect it as I’ve always had a fondness for it. The Beatles influence is all over this one. The relaxed feeling of the song comes from a style of playing I developed in my teens, as I tried to play quietly through all hours of the night. For a while, all my songs sounded like this. The nylon string guitar on this track is Luisa’s 1960 Martin Classical 00-28G, which used to belong to her Grandfather. It was a real honor and a treat to play such a beautiful instrument.
Luisa: This is indeed the only “happy” love song in the bunch. He says “not sad”, I say “happy”. These are the creative differences that keep things interesting for us, isn’t that right Frankie? Or “not wrong” maybe?
Lyrics
My day isn’t through Until I open up my arms and take hold of you Long is the night Until you take me in your arms
and you hold me tight Sometimes your gentle touch is all I need I’m not the same Someone has stole away my heart
and baby you’re to blame What can I do? Except to wrap up my love and give it all to you Sometimes your gentle smile is all I need Some night you may need a shoulder to cry on Come lay your head down next to mine ‘Cause my heart is one that you can rely on darling So close your eyes, I’ll make it right Some night when I need a shoulder to cry on Come lay your head down next to mine ‘Cause your heart is one I’ve come to rely on darling So close your eyes, and make it right My day isn’t through Until I open up my arms and take hold of you Warm is the night When you take me in your arms
and you hold me tight Sometimes your love is all I need
