Subject: Lyr Add: MUSIC TO ME (Bill Staines) From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Jan 04 - 03:56 AM Lovely song, isn't it? -Joe Offer- MUSIC TO ME (Bill Staines) There was a time gone by When my heart brushed the sky And simple love was the love I knew. We walked as one back then Untouched by why or when Now once again I remember you. We danced, we clicked our heels, We dreamed in feathered fields And told the stories that lovers tell. You sang the songs I knew And made them all seem true, With the voice that I loved so well. CHORUS Did I ever tell you your name was music to me? Did I ever show you from the start? Did I ever know you would fly, oh, fly away? Did I ever offer you my heart? Ah, but we were younger then And touched by restless winds Soon vivid colors of love turned blue. Now I wonder how you've grown And run the roads you've known And once again I remember you. CHORUS So time has come and gone, You sing another song, Yet I still linger beneath your spell. And how I long to hear Those words you whispered near, With the voice that I loved so well. CHORUS © 1991, Mineral River Music source: Music To Me, Bill Staines songbook |
Subject: RE: words to Music to Me - Bill Staines From: GUEST,C Stuart Cook Date: 21 Jan 04 - 07:41 AM Hi, Thanks a lot. Everything i've heard by him is wonderful. I used to sing Roseville Fair many years ago but learned via Nanci Griffiths. It was some time before I got to hear the man himseldf and some of his other songs. I don't sing any more but have a friend who I search out songs just right for him and this is one of them. Thanks again. |
Subject: Tabs/chords to Music to Me - Bill Staines ? From: GUEST,inezperro@yahoo.com Date: 12 Oct 04 - 05:48 PM Anyone have the tabs? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to Music to Me - Bill Staines From: Ebbie Date: 12 Oct 04 - 11:12 PM He writes some wonderful songs, C. Stuart. Are you familiar with 'River'? A song just about anybody would accept as the best one he or she could hope to write. And how about 'My Sweet Wyoming Home'? Tremendous harmonies in the chorus. Lots of others. He's a prolific writer. Enjoy. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to Music to Me - Bill Staines From: Musicman Date: 18 Oct 04 - 07:27 PM the tabs are available in his book..

Alot of his earlier greats are in that book... MM |
