Does any one have the melody for this song:
SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

                  You've said that nobody cares where you're going
                  And that your life don't mean nothing at all
                  You've heard the saying 'you reap what you sow'
                  So plant a good seed and watch it grow tall

                Chorus:

                  Somewhere a man got no woman to turn to
                  Somewhere a woman is lonely and blue
                  Somewhere a child's got no momma to hold her
                  Someone is looking for someone like you

                  You've said there's no road that you care to travel
                  Nothing to say that ain't been said before
                  And lies a mystery that you can't unravel
                  Well that's the key that will open that door

                        Chorus

                  Think of all the time you waste complaining
                  Think of all the good that could be done
                  Think of all the friends you could be gaining
                  If you lift your hand and help someone

                        Chorus

That's by Gail Davies, whose version I prefer above all others. I think I'd have a look around her site, http://www.gaildavies.com/

Sound clip here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000007NYT/qid=1041833702/sr=8-5/ref=sr_8_5/002-3957123-8821627?v=glance&s=music&n=507846

Another nice one is by Susan McCann.

The Country Gentlemen have also recorded this, but I couldn't tell you which album or when.

Thank you so much, Guest Dale - the sound clip has just enough for me to devise a copy on MusicWrite. Maybe I'll try my first ABC Notation. Ed

BTMP, I had forgotten all about that one, and since I have virtually EVERYTHING ever done by the CG and consider myself one of their biggest fans, I shouldn't have.   It's on Good As Gold, Sugar Hill 3734, 1983. Unfortunately, it is only available on cassette at the moment. I'll have to dig the vinyl out and give it a listen ~~ again.

If you click on the streaming audio button on Gail Davies site, you'll get a 3:30 sampling of some of her songs, including Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You ~~ a little past the two minute mark.

So I answer my own request [with help from Dale and Mudcat] and post my first ABC notation - It works with Concertina converter and played on NoteWorthy player - next step is to start conposing. Ed
