lyrics SS : music/vocals Ai
[verse 1]
My songs reflect the life I've led,
the tears shed, the times I bled.
I wrote them down, for when I age,
a book of memories, on each page.
[verse 2]
memory, of goin' to nursery,
we went, my mother and me.
scruffy kid, with a runny nose,
dressed in, worn down clothes.
[chorus]
Songs about my life, until I die,
answers all the questions why.
Some, that will make you laugh.
but most, will make you cry.
[verse 3]
Diary of memories, my songs cover,
albums, there may not be another.
Melodies, roads I've travelled down,
chords, every person that I've known.
[chorus]
Songs about my life, until I die,
answers all the questions why.
Some, that will make you laugh.
but most, will make you cry.
[verse 4]
Tales to tell, songs that I must sing,
there's things, that needed sharing.
Secrets, that others need to hear,
reflections, harder for me to bear.
[chorus]
Songs about my life, until I die,
answers all the questions why.
Some, that will make you laugh.
but most, will make you cry.
[bridge]
My songbook's, my history you hear,
experience in words, on the record.
Lyrics weave a tapestry, life's journey,
what I leave is, all that's left of me.
[final chorus]
Songs about my life, until I die,
answers all the questions why.
Some, that will make you laugh.
but most, will make you cry.
[outro]
I'll close my songbook, one day,
hand it to, my family.
Maybe someone, will hum a tune,
help them, remember me.

@sidshovel - great sentiment.. it would be nice to have somebody to hand it down to that cares :). I like the piano work in the beginning of the song.. sets the mood

Songwriters will relate to that Sid , like always AI does a good job

Wonderful concept! I'd like to see the metaphor used a bit more in the chorus, but of course it's everywhere else in the song, so you may be doing that explicitly for contrast.
Yes, songwriters will get a little more out of it, but it works more generally too. Just a good song.

A songwriter's song! Yaaay!!! Just bury me with my songs, I'll be happy. Like the way it picks up in the Chorus and that pretty piano following....

Good lyric, especially the chorus. I like these lines.
Some, that will make you laugh.
but most, will make you cry
You started with a vivid image of you going to nursery with your mum. I expected more of that, a series of snapshots of your life.
