Verse 1 DEAD LEAVES
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AUTUMN
SITTING ON THIS BENCH
STARING AT THIS COLD NOVEMBER SUN
Chorus WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN

STUCK INSIDE SO WARM AND COZY
LOOKING AT THE SNOW
PEOPLE’S FACES ARE THE COLOR OF ROSES
Chorus WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
Bridge BUILDING CHARACTER AFTER ALL THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT
ANOTHER MORNING COMES AND
WINTER HAS TURNED INTO
Verse3 APRIL DAYS
YEARS ADD UP CONSECUTIVELY
EVERYTHING IS GREEN
BUT I’M STILL ALL ALONE
Chorus WISHING SHE WAS HERE AGAIN
WISHING SHE WAS HERE AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN
WISHING IT WAS APRIL
WISHING IT WAS APRIL- OH
WISHING IT WAS APRIL AGAIN

Out My Window

VERSE 1 I can see the spring time in the trees
And I can sing a song about the breezes
Though I’m laid up in this bed - I refuse
To let what the doctor said – defeat me
VERSE 2 Cause I can see the Sun on a rainy day
So why do you ask if I’m OK?
I will walk again real soon
All the way across the room – this I know
But for now I’m only looking
CHORUS Out my window
A new life waits there for me
Out my window
One day soon that’s where I will be
VERSE 3 I know I will leave this place someday
And I will let the Spring time have it’s way
I will walk among the trees
I will feel the breeze as it blows
But for now I’m only looking
CHORUS Out my window
A new life waits there for me
Out my window
One day soon that’s where I will be
TAG But for now I’m only looking
Out my window….

VERSE 1 EVERYWHERE I TRAVEL

OH MY GOD THEY’RE SO CONFUSED
CHORUS NO COMMITMENT - NO LOVE

VERSE 2 IT BOTHERS ME SO
TO SEE LOVE DYING OUT DAY BY DAY

Dave Colvin Brentwood, Tennessee
At age 67, having had 2 of my songs "cut" by other performers I decided it was time to record 12 songs I've written from the time period of the 1970's when I was 14 to 24 years old! 7 months in the studio have resulted in a wonderful collection that brought me much joy - traveling back in time so to speak! I hope everyone enjoys my new album "STILL STUCK IN THE 70'S" releasing on March 4th, 2022! ... more
