Yup, love songs.

I Blame You

I Blame You

Song Info

Written with my wife Ausra in mind. She sees right thru me and I’m thankful for it every day. I’m a very lucky man. Originally written on the piano with an easy but cool A minor / G riff. Love songs are cool.

Lyrics

I blame you for knowin’
Everything I’m thinkin’
You called me just to say
The words I wanted to say

Now that you’re here with me
Life keeps getting better!

I blame you
For making me smile this way
I blame you
For showing love in every way
I blame you
For seein’ right through me
I blame you
For showin’ me the way

You never miss a beat
When my thoughts go astray
You stay and tease me softly
And chase my clouds away

Now that you’re here with me
Life keeps getting better!

I blame you
For making me smile this way
I blame you
For showing love in every way
I blame you
For seein’ right through me
I blame you
For showin’ me the way

I blame you for laughin’
When I feel like I could fall
You lift me up so high
And I can’t help but love it all

Now that you’re here with me
Life keeps getting better!

I blame you
For making me smile this way
I blame you
For showing love in every way
I blame you
For seein’ right through me
I blame you
For showin’ me the way

Yeah, I blame you

Can't You See?

Can’t You See?

Song Info

I think this is a kinda catchy hook. The song was inspired by my step daughter who at the time was a teenager and always hiding from us parents thinking we didn’t notice.

Lyrics

Sometimes you want
someone to show you the way
Sometimes you know
exactly what you want to say

When tomorrow means
as much as it does today
All I want to know is… if there’s another way.
Can’t You See

I want… I need…Love!
Why not..can’t I…
No matter what I say…Love!
You can’t see me…
I am… I am…
I’m not sure what Can’t You See?
All I want is… Love!
Can’t You See… Why Can’t You See me?

Sometimes I want to say…
Something perfect because, hey!
You think you know the way…
But my place is on the way…
To my place…the other way…
To my place…now Can’t You See

I want… I need…Love!
Why not..can’t I…
No matter what I say…Love!
You can’t see me…
I am… I am…
I’m not sure what Can’t You See?
All I want is… Love!
Can’t You See… Why Can’t You See me?

Can’t You See me… Love!
Oh what you’ve done to me
Why Can’t You See? Love!
and what you’ve done to me
Can’t You See … Love!

Can’t You See me… Love!
Oh what you’ve done to me
Why Can’t You See? Love!
and what you’ve done to me
Can’t You See … Love!

The One That I Am

The One That I Am

Song Info

A song for my wife Ausra whom I love dearly. This started out on the piano as a very simple hook in C. The chorus version the AI chose reminds me of the Partridge Family.

Lyrics

The one that I am with you
The one that I am
The one that will comfort you
You know who I am

The days that you spend with me
The one that I am
When I look in those big brown eyes
You know who I am

All we need to do is say
I love you

Baby, I love you,
Baby, I love you,
Baby, I love you,
Baby, I love you,
The one that I am

Sometimes I wonder how
The one that I am
Is the one that you love and how
You know who I am

All we need to do is say
I love you

Time keeps moving on
We keep rollin on…too
Our love grows stronger
A bond to hold on…to
The one that I am
Is the one that loves you!

Pretty-Lady

Pretty Lady

Song Info

I really like this tune and I’m using some strange chord combinations in the original recording. The AI interpreted it farily well. I was imagining a single guy walking the streets where the action is when I wrote this.

Lyrics

Pretty lady looking so fine (so fine)
Pretty lady don’t pass me by (don’t pass me by)
Pretty lady wish you were mine (Aaa so fine)
Pretty lady don’t pass me by

When I saw your face… (wow)… for the first time
I wanted a piece… (a piece)
A piece of your mind… (you make me so high)

Pretty lady looking so fine (so fine)
Pretty lady don’t pass me by (don’t pass me by)
Pretty lady wish you were mine (Aaa so fine)
Pretty lady don’t pass me by

When I saw your face… (wow) for the first time
I wanted a piece… (a piece)
A piece of your mind… (you make me so high)

When I saw your face… (wow)
for the first time
I wanted a piece… (a piece)
A piece of your mind… (you make me so high)

Pretty lady…(looking so fine)
Pretty lady…(you make me so high)
Pretty lady…(wish you were mine)
Pretty lady…(don’t pass me by)
don’t pass me by (wish you were mine)
don’t pass me by (don’t pass me by)

I just wanted to say hi

Nice to Know

Nice to Know

Song Info

AI cover version – I wrote this song in about 10 minutes while taking the trash cans to the street. It was a long walk to the end of our driveway.

Lyrics

It’s nice to know
That you are with me
It’s nice to know
That you were there
And all the time you’re thinking of me
It’s nice to know that you still care
It’s nice to know when the chips are down
It’s nice to know…you’re always around
And now you know when you see me
Count on me…I’ll be around
It’s nice to know
That you are with me
It’s nice to know
You were there
And all the time you’re thinking of me
It’s nice to know that you still care

I Don't Know Why

I Don’t Know Why

Song Info

Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this. The lyrics were an excuse to play some blues.

Lyrics

Raindrops fall the wind may blow
I don’t know why
I’ll always be here with you
I don’t know why

Understand that I can sometimes
Break the golden rule
Then I find myself and realize
I’ve been such a fool
To think that you would come back
After you said we were thru
I gotta try just one more time
It’s all I can do

Raindrops fall the wind may blow
I don’t know why
I’ll always be here with you
I don’t know why

Taking my time drinking my wine
I’m losing my mind
But the voice inside my head
It’s working overtime
One more chance is all I ask of you
One last time
I have no place left to go
Please give me another try

Raindrops fall the wind may blow
I don’t know why
I’ll always be here with you
You promised me that you’d be true
And I don’t know why
I’ll always be here with you
I don’t know why
