Thought I would post a couple of songs that I feel are my favorite ones I've written since I joined the RAMP. There is quite a difference in the two songs but I like writing about different topics. Time has flown by and I just reuped for another year. Doesn't seem like I've been a member for two years already. I guess it's true that time flys when your having fun. Thanks to all you folks for helping make me a better songwriter since I found the RAMP! Ronnie Walls
Swing Me Daddy
I remember the day my little girl was born The prettiest thing in the whole world And as she grew oh the games we would play I remember it well in our backyard one day She said daddy I want you to build me a swing Then you can push me as I sit there and sing So I tied the rope from that old maple tree And on her maiden flight she started singing to me CHORUS Swing me daddy swing me real high Swing me daddy way up to the sky Look at me daddy I think I can fly away But don’t worry daddy cause I’ll be back some day Well time’s flown by faster than the speed of sound And I can still see you standing there in your wedding gown Still the prettiest thing in the whole wide world You became a bride but still my little girl Then one day it happened you were moving away You were gonna be living way out in LA Well I still look out the window at that backyard swing And sometimes it seems I can still hear you say CHORUS Well my heart’s been broken since you went away But you called with good news to tell me today That you’re coming back home here to Tennessee You and your husband and little Carly Well your first day back and I’m happy as can be Carly says grandpaw what’s that hanging from that tree That’s your mommies’ swing I built a long time ago I sat her in the seat pulled back and let her go....and she sang 3rd CHORUS Swing me grandpaw swing me real high Swing me grandpaw way up to the sky Look at me grandpaw I think I can fly away But don’t worry grandpaw mommy said that we’ve come home to stay No don’t worry grandpaw we’re never gonna go away
