A short story about a fellow finding "Love City", and wanting to share it with this lost world.
lyrics
I was slipping down the line – reminiscing some times
Where did I go
Then I see the city shine screaming at me – oh my
Think it’s time to lose control (oh oh oh)
Looking lovely (lovely), seems a little crazy (crazy)
City of loving, you bring me to my knees – to my knees
I think I made it (made it), dynamite amazing (amazing)
Lose control – let’s rock and roll
Love city – shining on you and me
See it surrounding – love what I can feel, breathe
Love city – one love to be defining
I see the sunshine bringing the beat – shine down on me
Went back to my town preaching country miles – begging yall to slow that roll
I said now, listen man, I see you need a little better plan
Think it’s time you let it go (oh oh oh)
Said it’s lovely (lovely), seems a little crazy (crazy)
City of loving, brings you to your knees – to your knees
I think you’ll make it (make it), dynamite amazing (amazing)
Lose control – let’s rock and roll
Love city – shining on you and me
See it surrounding – love what I can feel, breathe
Love city – one love to be defining
I see the sunshine bringing the beat – shine down on me
Bring that beat back, bring it back, bring it back to me (oh oh oh oh)
Bring that beat again – sunshine come fill my foe, my friend
Bring it – come on, send that love again
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back – oh
What you gonna do about yourself -- Take your wrecking to my hometown
Bring it, bring that shine
Release the pain & rain & drain & vain – it’s change
What you gonna do about yourself -- Meet the maker, let love prevail
Bring it, bring that shine -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
One time, two time, three time, four time
City of loving swinging into primetime
Come on everybody get crazy -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
What you gonna do about yourself -- Bring the jigging to this stage now
Bring it, bring it – bring it back, back, back back…. oh
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me
Oh baby, take it really slow
Follow me, to see your mind be blown
City of the loving releasing
We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
Oh yeah, Oh yeah -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me
I am a school administrator by day. Daddy by night (and day). Songwriter whenever I can squeeze it in. While part of me
wishes I had more time to play and write music, most of me wouldn't have it any other way. I love my family. I love my God. I love my life. Though I have no interest in touring, my dream is to have my music do the traveling for me. Here's to hoping one of my songs gets picked up....more
