Backstory:

This started out as my solo song, "I'll Be Lonely." I had it critiqued at our NSAI Portsmouth, OH/Ashland, KY Regional Songwriters Workshop. My co-coordinator, John Roe, became my co-writer as a result. He made some (as usual) insightful suggestions on the chorus and a couple of other lines, and a title change, and voila! Here it is!

Lyrics:

                                                  
               ‘Till I’m Holding You Again
Vs 1
When we touch, it leaves a mem’ry that’s not easy to forget
Like July fireworks just too hot to hold
I’ve crossed over my old bridges, burned them down the day we met
Just the thought of other lovers leaves me cold

Chorus
I’ll be lonely ‘till I see you, and my world won’t be right
I can’t wait until you’re in my arms tonight 
And this longing just won’t leave me. Seems this day will never end 
I’ll be lonely ‘till I’m holding you again

Vs 2
Every minute’s like an hour; every step is sinking sand
When we’re apart I’m dyin’ by degrees
So please hurry to my rescue, lift me up, and help me stand
Just one kiss from your sweet lips will steady me

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Through the good years, and the lean times, your love has been what’s right
All my troubles fall behind me when you come into sight

Chorus (Last two lines)
