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 My life goes on day by day Without ever really turning me around And people they just stop and say Why can't you keep your feet on the ground? Chorus I've been so foolish to think That I could just blink my troubles away Blink my troubles away Verse 2 Sing me a song a song of cheer For each new day of each new year A story's been told by those of old For those of us who must now carry the load Chorus I've been so foolish to think That I could just blink my troubles away Blink my troubles away Bridge instrumental Verse 1 Yes, My life goes on day by day Without ever really turning me around And people they still just stop and say Why can't you keep your feet on the ground? Chorus I've been so foolish to think That I could just blink my troubles away Blink my troubles away Today, this, way, away, today, away Tag blink my troubles away

about

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
