Twice Around: Songs

Sometimes Your Love ((lyrics))

(Veres)

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 you gentle smile 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 open up my arms and take hold of you
Sometimes your gentle touch 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
