Colours Of You

Hey Mr. Green
Don’t be so mean
It really ain’t my fault
That I have to leave

Hey Mr. Red
Don’t cry in bed
We’ll see each other again
There’s a future ahead

So make the best of what we shared
Life really has been wonderful
You’ve been, my truest friend
I’ll miss you, Mr. Colourful

Hey Mr. Brown
What’s with the frown?
I’ll only be a few miles away
From your little town

Hey Mr. Blue
I’ll be thinking of you
And I promise you one day
We’ll meet again soon

Until then make the best of what we shared
Life really has been wonderful
You’ve been, my truest friend
I’ll miss you, Mr. Colourful

Memories

I'm connected again from the shop! Yessss! And I'll celebrate by posting another song i wrote a couple of days ago - one which i absolutely adore at the moment.

Its got an Indian feel to it (music/tune) - can't wait to record it and post it up!!! I'm really excited about this!

-----

As the wind blows by
My hair gets tangled up
I look at the sky
And the sun comes up
Birds flying high
And I wish I could take a pic and make a movie just like the one that's playing in my head

Children laughing aloud
Their mothers look quite cross
An interesting crowd
My thoughts are wandering off
Waves all around
And I wish I could take a pic and make a movie just like the one that's playing in my head

Unforgettable scenaries
In explainable sounds
The best of my memories
I'm gathering around

I touch your face
Under a starry night
You playfully sway
With eyes glistening bright

But when its time to say

You start to fade away and I am left with nothing but fond memories of you...

Just like the movie that's playing in my head

Goodbye

It’s 2 am and I’m waking up
Today’s the day I make a brand new start
My bags are packed and I’m ready to go
My cab is waiting for me at the door

I have to rush but I make it on time
With a trolley chained to my left hand
I look around with my head held high
Look out world, I’m ready to fly

And as I wave goodbye
I leave behind all my peers, all my fears and all my tears
You know I can’t deny
This is the life I chose, one filled with hope and so much more
So I say goodbye

Its 5 am and I’m finally through
Airport check-ins and security too
The people around me now seem fine
Whatever happened to all those crying outside?

The numbers keep changing and it’s finally time
To embark on a journey, this journey of mine
I look out of my window, feeling so high
Here I come world, I’m all set to fly

And as I wave goodbye
I leave behind all my peers, all my fears and all my tears
You know I can’t deny
This is the life I chose, one filled with hope and so much more
So I say goodbye

I’m flying high
I’m flying high
I’m flying high
So high up in the sky

I’m flying high
I’m flying high
I’m flying high
For miles and miles and miles…

And as I wave goodbye
I leave behind all my peers, all my fears and all my tears
You know I can’t deny
This is the life I chose, one filled with hope and so much more
So I say goodbye

Sweet Sixteen

Written when I was 15 though :P

------

Everyday, my love keeps changing
Today it’s you, tomorrow another

Day and night, I keep thinking
Do I love you, Oh how I wonder?

If it’s true, could I love you too?
Or is this, what everyone calls a crush?

Oh Baby I want you
Maybe tomorrow it’ll be someone new
But right now, I can feel you touch me softly

Oh baby is it true?
Could I be in love with you?
Or is this how it feels to be 16… Sweet Sixteen

When I’m with you, my heart keeps jumping
No more tears, sadness or anger

But in my mind I’m always messing
Sometimes it’s you, sometimes another

Oh is it true?
Could I love you too?
Or is this, that other thing called a crush?

Oh Baby I want you
Maybe tomorrow it’ll be someone new
But right now, I can feel you touch me softly

Oh baby is it true?
Could I be in love with you?
Or is this how it feels to be 16… Sweet Sixteen

Does It Show?

I wake up early in the morning
Just to catch a glimpse of you
Does it show?
Does it show?

I turn around if you walk past me
Just to see that speck at the back of your neck
Does it show?
Does it show?

Does it show that i love you
I try not to be obvious
Does it show how much i want you
Oh babe, you're so delicious

When i meet you, i'm all confused
Cos my body parts don't work together
Does it show?
Does it show?

My head goes blank and my heart fails
When you smile at me every other time
Does it show?
Does it show?

Does it show that i love you
I try not to be obvious
Does it show how much i want you
Oh babe, you're so delicious... scrumptious... babelicious
Oh, there ain't enough words to describe you

Does it show that i love you
I try not to be obvious
Does it show how much i want you
Oh babe, you're so delicious

Oh babe, does it show?

I Surrender

A dark song, for a dark mood. I guess everyone's felt this way sometime.

-----

This life, it ain't fair
I've been walking around for ages now
And all everyone does is stare

And this world, it ain't true
You can fight it, survive it, revive it,
But it does nothing for you

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

All the people, they don't care
I could try my best, to impress the rest
But they ain't ever gonna share

And the things I put myself through, it ain't worth it
With my confidence low, I ain't ever gonna grow
How did I dream of making it big?

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

Enough is enough
I've got no strength
To carry on like this

I've got to give up
I can take no more
Of a life with no bliss

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

No... No...
I give up
I surrender
I can't go on
So get me back to the ground
And don't waste another tomorrow on me

Don't waste another ... tomorrow on me.

Won't You Be My Man?

I had composed a tune few weeks ago, but wrote it out yesterday. The only problem is, I had used up the chorus tune for this in another song which i wrote a few weeks ago! :S Now i gotta go change that - cos this one is in the 'original' tune.

Blah! I'll just do what i have to do. If you find the chorus similar to one of my previous songs - you'll know why.

------

Lonely days are tying me down
There ain't enough to set my mind on
I'm just wandering, thinking aloud
And that's when my eyes caught you
And my heart began to sing

I need somebody to hold me
I need somebody who cares
I need somebody who loves me
Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you be (my man)

And Hey
I'll treat you tenderly
Hey
If you'll be good to me
Hey
I'll give you everything you need
Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you be my man?

On a quiet day, when i'm feeling low
and there ain't even a good show
I wait and watch, out from my window
And that's when my eyes caught you
And my heart began to sing

I need somebody to hold me
I need somebody who cares
I need somebody who loves me
Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you be (my man)

And Hey
I'll treat you tenderly
Hey
If you'll be good to me
Hey
I'll give you everything you need
Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you be my man?

Hey
I'll be an angel to you
Hey
If you'll love me too
Hey
You won't find another so true
So Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you be my man?

Won't you be my man
I'll do the best I can

So Baby won't you, won't you, won't you
Baby won't you... be my man

Sunrise (Cover)

Hey! This is a video of me singing 'Sunrise' by Norah Jones. I tried to do something different with the video rather than just stare into the camera and sing! Hope you guys enjoy it!
