Every Song Is A Journey
Story
This was one of those that sprang nearly full-formed. The main thought was musical beginnings, whether it's starting a new song or the opening of a filk.
Lyrics
[C] What’ll it be, where will you [F] take me today?
[G] Every song is a [C] journey
[C] What do you think is the [F] magic in a [G] tune
We all [C] sing?
the [C] Touch of a memory, [F] it takes me back
To [G] something that I once [C] admired
[C] What is the reason it [F] comes back today,
[G] And why do I feel inspired?
[amin] Oh, I guess I [G] didn’t notice how good
It [F] felt at the time, I wonder [C] why?
[G] I’m just amazed that it [amin] stayed with me so long
when I was [dmin] too busy being alive to realize [G]
(chorus)
This one was written by someone else
Somebody I never knew
A song that retraces the steps of a life
Where they went, I can go too
So I’m going where someone else already
Went but I really don’t mind
I’m just glad they went so I could follow
I might not have gone otherwise
[C] Sing me your favourite [amin] song
Let me [G] hear what it [F] means in your [C] voice
I've been trying to reach you
Don't know [D] where to [G] begin
[E] How can I let you [amin] in? [G]
(chorus)
