bob pendarvis: song lyrics

the first track on my JUST ME cd. this song was written as a tribute to my friend Mia Paluzzi. her manga graphic novel PAINTINGS OF YOU is available from Iris Print and i recommend it very much! i wrote the lyrics last christmas and figured out the chords on my favorite christmas present: a spanking new HELLO KITTY FENDER GUITAR!!! sweet, eh?

i wasted so much time
searching for
somebody out there
somebody to love me
somebody who might care

all my paintings of you
no words mean as much
no words are as true
all my paintings of you
no words i might say
would ever quite do
all my paintings of you

it was an uphill climb
there was
nobody out there
nobody real
nobody anywhere

all my paintings of you
no words mean as much
no words are as true
all my paintings of you
no words i might say
would ever quite do
all my paintings of you

but then you came along
i knew i'd found my prize
something told me
something in your eyes

all my paintings of you
no words mean as much
no words are as true
all my paintings of you
no words i might say
would ever quite do
all my paintings of you
