Thread Name: Derek Brimstone songs
Subject: Lyr Add: ALL THOSE SONGS (Derek Brimstone)^^
I sang a couple of songs by UK singer/songwriter Derek Brimstone, on hearme today and some of those there wanted the lyrics. Here's the lyrics to "All Those Songs", I'll post the lyrics to the other one "We Both Had A Very Good Time" soon. There's a verse I can't quite remember.

ALL THOSE SONGS
(Derek Brimstone)

All those songs that I sing you
All forgotten, all in vain,
All those melodies, words of loving
Blown away, flown away,
Like dying leaves of fading summertime.

All those promises, did we mean them.
All those castles in the air.
They're all empty now, broken windows.
Old and bad, cold and sad.
How could anybody ever live there.

But today the sun is shining down.
I'm singing in a major key.
And today, well things don't looks so sad,
And nothing seems to worry me.
Til I think of yesterday,

Only to remember, all those daytimes spent in walking.
All those lifetimes loving so.
But the time has passed, my love, for talking.
Too many downs, tears and frowns,
Angry words and sad unhappy faces.

Goodbye Josephine, farewell lady of my life.
We both must go our ways.
Well you had enough time to get to know me,
But you never tried, so it died,
But it doesn't matter anyway.

For today it all seems clear to me,
It's just another song to sing.
Just a futile loving memory,
It really didn't mean a thing.
Til I think of yesterday.

But it's slowly passing, my pieces fall in place again.
Guess I'll spend some more time in minor tuning.
There'll be days of grey, time to pay.
But nothing ever lasts forever so they say.
So they say.....^^
