Drop My Heart Upon the Floor
Liner Notes
For some reason I wanted to write a tin pan alley kinda tune. Turned out it's a lot harder than you'd think.
#jazz (except whether or not you consider tin pan alley I could give an entire diatribe or even a lecture about the history of American pop music but yada yada yada)
Lyrics
At the risk of sounding foolish A danger that I've faced before Even more so when I'm with you I leave my wits at the door
It started with some repartee But now it's something more When you're here I fall And drop my heart upon the floor
I seem to lose it all As if I had any marbles left to count They roll right out of my pocket Whenever you come around
It started with such simple toys But now it's something more When you're here I fall And drop my heart upon the floor
Many games have come and gone Somehow you remain It's not a game anymore You've taken away my aim
At the risk of sounding foolish A danger that I've faced before Even more so when I'm with you I leave my wits at the door
It started with a simple game But now it's something more When you're here I fall And drop my heart upon the floor

Wonderful. Loved it from the first note on the piano. Love the soft jazzy feel. So glad I hit Random Song and landed here.
