the 60's 'sound' in a modern envelope, with melodic guitar tones, bass lines and expressive drums typical of Point Blank arrangements. A swirling piano and a string quartet at the climax support the wings of lament that could only ever be a dream..."I didn't wanna wake up...and I tried not to"
lyrics
YOUR FIRST KISS
(Copyright 2009 R. Bender)
1. I had a dream, of your first kiss
I know that I shouldn't dream of this but
I, tried not to
Maybe she'd rather that I don't,
And I could promise that I won't but
I, can't help it
Ch1. I think of her, constantly,
I tell myself, I'm in too deep
I didn't wanna wake up...
And I tried not to
2. So I wrote, the words to this,
I hope she doesn't, hate me 'cause I dreamt,
Of her kiss
. I hope I never dream again,
I'll try real hard, but if I do, I hope,
It never ends
Ch2. I tell myself, she won't want me,
I trip myself, when she's near to me,
Convince myself that I don't ..
......but I, still...love her
3. The more I dream, the more I lose,
She pushes me away, but yet I choose,
To still love her
She doesn't know, she never will,
Admire her from afar, but better still,
'Cause I... just can't tell her
Ch3. I tell myself, it's wrong to dream
I tell myself, it will never be,
Convince myself........... but
I, still want her
Ch4. I tell myself, she only needs,
Anyone, who isn't me,
Convince myself........... but I...
Do love her
Ch5. I try real hard, but just can't seem,
To bring myself, to reality,
She'll only be mine, in my, imagination
Ch6. She may not be, a beauty queen
But she means every, thing to me
She'll always be mine in my,
Imagination
But I tell myself.... I tell myself.... tell myself... can't help myself... I tell myself...tell myself
