From the recording It's Always Been You
I started writing this song in 2001, when I first came to Spain. I later developed the song, adding the modulation and the chorus, and re-writing it in 6/8 time, from 4/4, with a flamenco bulería rhythm. The result feels good and I hope it makes you smile.
Lyrics
Don’t go, don’t go away
I wanna tell you
This is this the first time that I’ve wanted someone to stay
I wouldn’t lie if I told you
It’s always been you, it has always been you
I’d like to know, so won’t you tell me
Am I the only one who’s lonely for your love
Can I believe that you’d believe me
It’s always been you, it has always been you
Every little thing that you do…
It’s you…
You from the time we laid eyes through hellos and goodbyes
Don’t be afraid
I’d never hurt you
You are the lighter side of me
Can’t you see, haven’t you seen it?
It’s always been you, it has always been you
Every little thing that you do…
It’s you…
You from the time we laid eyes through hellos and goodbyes
How I cried the time that you left thinking I’d never leave you behind
Every little thing that you do…
It’s you…
You from the time we laid eyes through hellos and goodbyes
Don’t go away
