Wantlove

Christmas eve a few years back. I was working on a couple of originals but just couldn’t seem to get the right groove going. I went on line to Craigslist to see if there were any musicians looking to get together and play. And at the top of the list was a post that had nothing to do with music, and it said....
On the day before the day of peace
The sun was hiding flakes were falling
I almost got stuck in a sad song
So I went on line to find
A player or a singer to bring in harmony
And there at the top was a request that said
Wantlove, sweet love forever love don’t be shy
Hoping to meet that loving and caring guy
On the day before the king was born
When we celebrate peace and light from above
She posted her heart on line
Asking for the greatest gift of all
I guess she thought the timing might be
Right to find love and harmony she said
Wantlove, sweet love forever love don’t be shy
hoping to meet that loving and caring guy
Break
I thought back to a time when I was empty
Cloudy skies and flakes hid the sun
When my well had been a long time dry
But then sweet love found me in time
Not sure how to warm your heart babe
But hope you get your wish come true
I wrote this gift for you it’s all I can do
To bring you peace maybe ease your Christmas blues
Wohhh I wantlove, sweet love forever love don’t be shy
hoping to meet that loving and caring guy
I wantlove, want sweet love forever love don’t be shy no no no
hoping to meet that loving and caring guy
Break outro

An unashamed love song. Nothing better at Christmas. Another great track, I really enjoyed this. I've said this before but I really admire a musician who can nail it with one voice and a guitar. Fabulous.
Happy Christmas!

Very good. Don't think I've heard you picking before.
Like the way you sing "Wantlove, sweet love forever love"
Lets hope she found her man!

Hey thanks much guys. Yeah let's hope she found love. This song wrote itself in about an hour and a half, very quick for me. I sent it off to a piano player friend and she was immediately taken with the song. She went on Craigslist and wrote me back saying the post was still there on Christmas Day. A few days later it was taken down. So yeah, maybe she did find forever love.
Merriest of Christmas's to you all.
