Lyrics I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you And you’d take a chance on me too I was walking through the forest with a glint in my eye The clouds drift away and above me the sky is so blue Almost too good to be true Poor as a beggar and drunk as a loon He cursed her sweet name and he howled at the moon And said don’t you worry my friend we’ll all be dead soon He laughed like he does and ran a hand through his hair Fixed me like an insect with a basilisk stare Said oh you glib shallow Johnny just have a care So I walked home alone I was tired near to death I thought of the places I should never have left I thought of the places I should have left well alone I was thinking of a day a storm on the ocean I was thinking of the words that set things in motion with you From such a small seed it all grew I was walking through the shallows where they reflected the clouds I was feeling like an Emperor I was singing aloud I was wine drunk on happiness and wondering if it was allowed Hard on the outside and soft underneath Desperately seeking a set of beliefs She brought me some comfort she brought me some blessed relief She asked me for distance I granted it gladly We both needed assistance but I knew ‘twould end badly So with some hesitation I wished her goodnight and went home I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you Almost too good to be true

First Anne-Marie wants to compliment you on your rhyming scheme in the beginning of the song: "I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you And you’d take a chance on me too" Rob compliments you on your very wise choice of RTs. He's a big fan of the Brent Dreamy and Baritone RTs. We particularly like your solo guitar work. Once again very good vocals by Leon.

It all works well for me. Love the guitar tone. Enjoyed it!! J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.
