I Used to Be...

It took me a very long time to learn to write charts for the band especially a jazz lead sheet for my original stuff. But, I'm getting better at it and since we've had no time to rehearse I thought I would throw the band this song I wrote and see how they did. When I record it, I'd like to add flute into it but after hearing the boys and what they did with it I'm pretty happy with it. Here are the lyrics and I've posted another jazz classic (Everything happens to Me)  below. Oh, and I'm wearing a cute little Armand Basi rust colored ruffled dress with a little bolero and a pair of adorable Sam Edelman platforms. I promise that I will open my Ebay store soon!

I USED TO BE YOUR GIRL

YOU USED TO BE MY WORLD

MY WORLD HAS COME APART      

I HAVE A BROKEN HEART

MAYBE IF I SIT STILL

AND KEEP MY EYES CLOSED TIGHT

AND I DON’T TAKE THOSE PILLS        

THEY GIVE TO US AT NIGHT

THEN MAYBE I’LL SEE YOU   

LIKE I DID TODAY

LOOKIN’ BEAUTIFUL      

AS THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

I USED TO BE YOUR GIRL

YOU USED TO BE MY WORLD

MY WORLD HAS COME APART      

I HAVE A BROKEN HEART

 I WHISPER IN YOU EAR  

YOU DON’T SEEM TO HEAR

THERE’S SOMETHING IN MY HEAD     

BUT NOTHING IN MY BED

I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE     

I NEED TO FEEL THE SUN

BUT I SHOULD RUN AND HIDE

MY HEART’S COME UNDONE

I USED TO BE YOUR GIRL

YOU USED TO BE MY WORLD

MY WORLD HAS COME APART      

I HAVE A BROKEN HEART
