I Don’t Feel Like Singing Anymore
By Mike McGrath for Emily , June 21, 2007

C……Em……F……G……Em…..C

I don’t feel like singing anymore,
Feel like a bird that’s fallen from the sky,
I don’t feel like dancing all around,
Feel like a butterfly that broke its wing
It’s like the world has grown cold and grey

I don’t feel like laughing anymore,
Feel like a clown that’s lost his funny bone,
I don’t see the colours in your flowers,
They seem so pale without you around
It’s like they are leaving with you now

You move around me like a fading wind,
You brush against me make me feel again,
I hear your words inside the corridors,
Of all those memories we built in time,
And time heals everything in time

I don’t feel like gazing at the stars,
Feel like you have joined them, gone to far,
I don’t see reflections in the lake
Just deep wells of swirling sadness
It’s like my world’s turned upside down

I don’t feel like walking down the trail,
The forest seems so dark and lonely,
And I don’t want to sleep and dream,
My dreams seem troubled and full of anguish
And your not there when I awake

You move around me like a fading wind,
You brush against me make me feel again,
I hear your words inside the corridors,
Of all those memories we built in time,
And time heals everything in time

I don’t feel like singing anymore,
Still I try to find my way in song
