Above is a link to an mp3 of a preliminary recording of a song I wrote in November of 2013, thinking about my late wife, Cheri. I recorded these tracks at the Broken Arrow Indie studio where Chas Thomas and I had recorded several albums in 2009 - 2010 (Chas is in fact playing drums on this recording). I used a 1955 Les Paul with tube amp distortion, a 12-string guitar, and bass for the instrumentation.
Here are the chords and lyrics (I didn't add the second verse to the preliminary work recorded above):
Still Remember (copyright Dalton Bentley 2013)
Verse I:
(C) Bb
(I) Still-remember-you danc--in’
Gm Bb Eb Csus
Your eyes so bright with life to share
(C) Bb
Wanted to be --- the one
Gm Bb Eb Csus
You’d take to love --- all through the night
Eb Cm Ab F
And-I-just-can’t let your mem ‘ry go --- my Light
Db Ab Bb
Even-though-I-know: It’s not right.
Fm Ab Db
Will-our-love outlive this life?
F# Db Eb Csus
(I) Want-to-find-you in the light
Verse II:
(C) Bb
The-life-we-shared to-gath--er
Gm Bb Eb Csus
Seems like-a stranger’s distant dream
(C) Bb
Other-times-I’m sure I’ll wake up
Gm Bb Eb Csus
And find-you sleep-in’ by my side
Eb Cm Ab F
Can’t-I-make-a fu-ture where you’re here --- with me?
Db Ab Bb
Weren’t-you-always comin’ ‘round a-gain?
Fm Ab Db
Aren’t-lives-just mel-o-dies be-lieved?
F# Db Eb Csus
Our-song’s-too strong for-you to-leave!
