That's me, singing this oh-so-difficult-for-me song, by Stevie Wonder! It was released in the mid-80s when I was a young mother, and too busy with dirty diapers and trying to learn about being a wife and mum, to know what the new song releases were!!! Hahahaha.
Years later, I'd hear this song, and just flow away on the music. And the words! I love the way the words are all jumbled around, and often don't follow the natural way we speak.
This isn't jazz, but there are bits and pieces of it here - and that's enough to catch me off guard. And often!
I think this will probably be the last song I post here. If I do record more, they'll be on my channel on You Tube. I'm toying with the idea of singing the harmony - to myself - on The Bee Gees 'In the morning'. I can plan it, but I have to wait for a visit from my voice before I can go ahead!
Any day I can carry a tune without croaking, that's a good day. And so, yesterday was a good day 💖
I've put the lyrics below, so that when I decide to give me a listen, I'll have the words to help me along. In some parts, there are wayyyyy too many words for the space of the melody!!! Stevie Wonder is da man!
Over time, I've been building
My castle of love
Just for two, though you never
Knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far
For you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out
A perfect come true
Though you never knew it was
Of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully
Turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what
I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over love, over you,
Over you
