This is the second song from Bill I choose to work on. I’ve decided to make this an upbeat swing jazz. It’s easily adaptable to a big band.
Simple semitone progression in the verse and fan out to big chords in the chorus. I suppose this song can go either way of pop swing or slow jazz.
I found these lyrics from Bill very appealing, I felt the melody when I first read it. It didn’t have a chorus so I added it by using some words from the verse.
Lyrics
by Bill Butler
(Verse1)
I’ve seen the beauty, of mountains and streams
I’ve felt the passion of your hopes and dreams
I glide your starfield I wing and I soar
I ride the current I fly heaven’s shore
(Chorus)
I lived a lifetime one day in your eyes
Together we marvel… how love never dies
I spent a week One day in your eyes.
Now and forever One day in your eyes.
(Verse2)
One day you will see the beauty I’ve found
It’s just who you are when no one’s around
You marvel at how – But it’s no big surprise
I spent a week One day in your eyes.
In the photo is my daughter Karissa, she took me on a day hike and the song is talking about the beauty she is showing me.
