When You Look At Me.

Melancholic yet light song I originally wrote for solo piano and with different lyrics for a friend’s wedding in 2003. This weekend, I decided to write new lyrics and rearrange it. Home-recorded VST based demo in mp3 (128kbit) (enclosed), words, music and vocals by Tobias Schwarz, 2003-2005.

Lyrics –

(1)
Whenever I see you standing there
With other guys I just wanna tear
My bleeding heart right out of my chest
(cos) You don’t know that I’m the best

(2)
I would never boast or pick a fight
I just love to talk to you all night
But whenever you could notice me I’m gone
You’ll never know that I’m the one.

(Chorus)
My universe implodes
When you look at me
Your sapient eyes hold
The truth of young and old
(and) Only I can see
When you look at me

(When you look at me)

(3)
Will I find the strength to make this real
Will you ever get the chance to feel
Cupid’s arrow in your heart and soul
We’re two parts of a bigger whole.

(Chorus)
My universe implodes
When you look at me
Your sapient eyes hold
The truth of young and old
(and) Only I can see
When you look at me
When you look at me

Only I can see
When you look at me
