Songs I have written with John Kenney (j.yonks)
John and I have collaborated on a few songs now...but this one is a little different. Previously John has given me the music...and a hook...or a title...or an idea for the lyric. In fact I have him to thank for nursing me back into writing after a long dry season.
But this one is different. I presented him with a complete lyric and asked him to come up with the music. It's the first time he's done this, and I think he can be quite proud of what he produced :)
Thank you John!
Let Me Repaint Your Future
Please let me take this portrait of your presence
And wash away the dust of all the heartaches of the past
Stroke by gentle stroke reveal the lustre of your essence
And bring this hidden masterpiece into the light at last
Let me repaint your future
Let me retouch that tender smile upon your lips
Re-colour you in shades of joy
And brush you softly with a kiss
You sit there telling me your glow has faded
Well let me show you all the ways I have to make you shine
Layer after layer using only softest sable
I'll slowly open up the secret truth of your design
Let me repaint your future
Let me retouch that tender smile upon your lips
Re-colour you in shades of joy
And brush you softly with a kiss
Bridge
Can’t you see how I adore you
I know I can restore you
Brighten up those faded blues
Make your lovely colours true….. again
Let me repaint your future
Let me retouch that tender smile upon your lips
Re-colour you in shades of joy
And brush you softly with a kiss
