From the recording Looking For That American Dream
The Sturgill Simpson song “Welcome to Earth” inspired me to write a song this as I just loved the feeling when his band come in. With my love of 60’s songs it seemed quite natural to give a little tribute to “Sam Cooke” and those beautiful simple love songs.
Lyrics
Sam Cooke
I was never one to fall in Love
It never crossed my mind
That this feeling could be wonderful
Something so sublime
I was never one to live in dreams
I guess that much is true
I was never one to fall in love
Until I met you
Chorus
And all those melodies
That you hear all the time
Now have a meaning that I could never find
And now I’m quoting Sam Cooke
To name one or two
What a wonderful world it is since I’ve met you
I was never one to fall in love
Until I met you
Chorus
