You'll Hear Better Songs (Than This) - Eleanor McEvoy

You’ll hear better songs than this

With no trace of clumsiness

Melodies and harmonies that compliment the rhyme

Favourite songs that reminisce

Speak of times of happiness

Sentiments that make you warm inside

You’ll hear voices pure and fine

Voices far surpassing mine

HItting notes I’d never reach and never will I s’pose

Phrases I could never play

You will hear them any day

Played by people wearing younger clothes

But this song has a prayer to you

No other song on earth can do

This song swears my love for you

Until the end of time

If you need to hear the blues

Go put on those other tunes

If you need my love, go put on mine

You’ll hear better songs than this

Songs so full of loveliness

I would not compare my songs to anyone of those

When I need to play the blues

I will play those other tunes

But I will say I love you with my own

This song has a prayer to you

No other song on earth can do

This song swears my love for you

Until the end of time

If you need to hear the blues

Go put on those other tunes

If you need my love, go put on mine
