A Friendly Glance

Written while I was in Southern California in 2010, I was dating someone I met at a "Fun After Fifties" music event at the Coyote Cafe in Carlsbad. It was fun to play around with the progression and the realization that so much in life is chance triggered the start of the lyrics and the rest just fell into place

A Friendly Glance - Douglas W. Fielder

(A) A friendly (F#) glance and a (B) friendly (E) dance.
She looked my way (A) and I was (F#) thinking (B) there might be a (E) chance
(A) I never really (F#) know what (B) my life has (E) planned
(D9)I guess I knew when we went out walking (dflat9) in the (A)sand….
(D9) I knew when she kissed my cheek and took (Eflat9) my (E9)hand, (F9)yeah,(E9) yeah.

Now we’re together almost all the time
I think I know her thoughts and she knows mine.
Can’t wait to hold her in my arms at night
Can’t wait to hold her close and squeeze her tight
She’s got the love that makes me feel alright, right, yeah

Lead Break

I know some day I’ll walk her down the aisle
She’ll look my way and then she’ll flash me that knowing smile
I’ll hold her hand and I’ll tell her that I love her so
She’ll promise me to love me every day
I’ll promise her that I’ll love her every way, ay, yeah
