As I had posted previously, one of my guitar teachers gave me an assignment to write a song. Because I'm a masochist at heart (and in various other organs) I've decided to post the lyrics.
The song was inspired by my niece. I had just returned from watching her graduate from high school.
So here, without further ado, is "Rebecca's Song":
[Verse]
I rem-em-ber you
When you were just two
And we got to-ge-ther at Grand-ma's pla-ce
I rem-em-ber when
You had just turned ten
And you smiled around that stick-y ice cream fa-ce
[Refrain]
Look at her she is all grown now
Ready to be out on her own now
No longer just a cute young girl now
A fine young woman here to take on the world
[Verse]
And then at fif-teen
Has it on-ly been
Thir-ty six short months since I saw you la-st?
How the time goes by
And some-times I cry
When I re-a-lize good-byes come so fa-st
[Bridge]
You were al-ways there
I was al-ways here
Kept a-part by miles
Swept a-part by years
But I don't have to be stand-ing near you
Be-cause my heart can al-ways he-ar you
[Refrain]
Look at her she is all grown now
Ready to be out on her own now
No longer just a cute young girl now
A fine young woman here to take on the world

Very nice. I'm sure that Rebecca is quite honored.
You flatter. What was that Ninth Commandment again? Something about not bearing false witness? :)
At least my heart was in the right place (just behind my ribcage) when I wrote it.
