It’s All Your Fault 2

This is a remake of one of my latest songs.  Was playing around it Muvizu, a cartoon creation software….  Had massive problems inside the learning curve, but managed to finally create this with my sound track added to Timmy’s lip sync…  He’s a lot cuter than I am and I thought he would be a little less distractive to viewers than my beastly self….

Anyway, here’s a tip:  Cell phone and laptop speakers are notoriously horrible.  Use earbuds.  Not that it will help my cat scratching blackboard noises, but for other real artists it might help….

Is this worth my time?

Lyrics:

I like the way you look tonight
Dressed up baby, so nice and tight…
And got me thinking when was
the first time I saw you in
that moonlight….

You know I was like Frankenstein baby
just bouncing off those walls
I needed that lightning
to start my heart
And that’s what you did
You started my heart
So it’s all your fault

And now I’m just left here wondering
why you’re dressed up so fine tonight
You’re stepping out with that other guy
Tell me what happened Darling
‘Cause my heart’s still going, yeah
Yes it is
It’s all your fault.

I Remember You

Press the Play Button to hear the song – may not work on phone

Saw her walking on the beach, looking mighty fine
Sipping on a soda down at the five and dime
Took her to a movie, honey, it was show time
Sat in the back, baby, gon’ make you mine…

I remember you, girl, I remember you
Big blue eyes and that beautiful smile
Bob Seeger playin’ on the radio
wish I could go back for a while

Summer days back in my early days
having fun with nothing but the sun
colors were bright and your eyes begun
to make me feel, baby, to make me feel

Sittin outside the Dog ‘n Suds
puttin’ pennies on the track
Walking through the old graveyard
in the late night pitch black

I didn’t know what love was back then
I didn’t see the way you looked at me
Now I look back and understand –
The summer love we had…

I remember you, girl, I remember you
Big blue eyes and that beautiful smile
Bob Seeger playin’ on the radio
wish I could go back for a while

Someone Special 2

(Apologies…  Posted the wrong draft earlier)
Written and Sung by John Richter, April 23rd, 2015 ©

I was laying in bed this morning
waiting for that sun to rise
like it always do
and I was thinking maybe
I could sing this here song to you

But you’re not here now
youve gone off somewhere
somehow, yeah
So I’m laying here wondrin’
If I could sing to someone new

Then I remembered that time
we took that picture
in front of the new car, yeah
with that rabbit fur on, yeah
like if you were special
and yeah, you were special

I was laying in bed this morning
waiting for that sun to rise
like it always do
and I was thinking maybe
I could sing this here song to you

I don’t have time for goodbyes
or to think about all those lies
always wonderin if you love me too
’cause now I know it ain’t true

So I’m gonna wait for the sun to rise
wipe the tears from my eyes
though your face still in my sky
I’m just gonna sing and sing and sing
’til it don’t hurt no more
but it always do

So I need to say Goodbye
Yes I do
I’m gonna tell you anyway
That I love you
Goodbye.

Words Get In the Way

Song written and performed by John Richter

I woke up this morning
In a deep, deep sweat
Thinking I need to tell her
How much I love her

So I practiced in the mirror
for about an hour or so
Before I realized that
These words just get in the way

So i said, Johnny,
Sit down at that piano
and find a way to let her know
So here you go

We’ll wrap it all up nice
in this little package baby
and send it over to you
in this here way

I really love you,
I just love you
I can’t sing about mountains,
and clouds and skies and blues and
birds and stars…..

‘Cause that’s not what you are to me
You’re somebody who takes my hand
And lets me be me……

Sunday Funnies

Song Written and performed by John Richter, 2015

I remember mama down in the kitchen
Cooking those eggs
I Heard her pop ’em on the griddle
I can still smell the coffee brewing in the kettle

And daddy sittin’ in his easy chair
just over there
Reading the Sunday morning paper
Funnies were all over the floor
I don’t read them no more
I don’t read the funnies no more.

There’s so many times in my life
I want to go back
I want to shake daddy’s hand
And say you know I love you
I want to kiss momma’s cheek
and say thank you, from me

And I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I think I’ll just sit here with you
and read the Sunday funnies……

Sweet Little Blue Dress

The night was young
when I turned twenty one
the sky was bright
everybody drinking rum

The chicken was grilling
and the corn was done
when you said hey there Johnny
won’t you come, come, come with me

And I said yes, yes, yes….
sweet little Miss Blue Dress
Oh hell yes
I’m coming with you

We went skinny dipping
those cops, they came real fast
that’s when I saw your bare ass
jump over that ten foot fence

Him and I were just laughing
rolling on the ground
said he’d never seen anything like it
probably never would again

And he was so right baby
’cause I never saw you again
but I sure remember when
I remember when….

You said hey there Johnny
won’t you come, come, come with me
I was so there
I was  there with you

I love you darling
even after all these years
you still play on my mind
with that sweet blue dress

You haven’t aged a single day in my mind
not since you ran away
I hope you remember me
’cause I remember you

My sweet little blue dress
Oh honey, such a fine memory
thank you
Thank you so very much
