MrEWorm, I dropped the "and"...Thanks for the idea.
Andy, I agree that a nice arrangement would be good on this. I probably won't work on it this week as life's demands are still heavy at the moment, but I'll make note of your suggestions :wink:

I just finished this song around 12 AM last night. I wasn't even sure I would tell my parents I wrote it, but I sent the link....I'm not brave enough to send it on to Aunt Kathy yet.

I wasn't fully intending to finish this song but I had my "notes" out and my wife read them and said she got choked up, so I finished it off, but now she says the song is too sad....This is all fresh in our minds since we visited with my aunt last week in the USA.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I would drop the word "And" in the line "And if I didn't have much to say" but that's entirely subjective.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg10-week39-aunt-kathy/#post-376987 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg10-week39-aunt-kathy/#post-376986 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:35:16 +0000
The simple tune and accompaniment really work with the lyrics.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Hobson https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg10-week39-aunt-kathy/#post-376986 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg10-week39-aunt-kathy/#post-43128 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 19:35:17 +0000

Aunt Kathy, I prayed for you today
I'm sorry the cancer came back
I don't know what to say

Aunt Kathy, I remember Washington
You taught me how to macrame
On those rainy summer days

You always took the time to listen
And If I didn't have much to say
You'd listen; you'd listen anyway

It's hard to think that God is love
When I love you and you're in pain
But rainbows only come when sunlight touches rain

Aunt Kathy, I don't know what to say
I'm sorry the cancer came back
I'm praying for you every day]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg10-week39-aunt-kathy/#post-43128
