"8 Bars of Lonely"

Words & Music  by Tom Sperrazzo 2025

When I write I gravitate to pleasures;

There is no problem stating joy in so few measures;
But it  would really stretch my art to state
The torment in my heart
If I had to tell it all
In just one chorus brief and small..

To give a singer happiness and passion
That any listner would believe--not hard to fashion;
But when it comes to heart-break,
i must choose my words with care;
To get that feeling in one line-- 
That's the challenge that is mine..

8 BARS OF LONELY--
Sad song in a minor key;
I hoped this chart would describe my heart;
I'm gonna write it in C.

And from the tired list of words
That paint my world in gray-tone;
I pick them brick by brick
And hope they sing of love flown.    

I know the words I wrote
Will fade with the final note;  
Will the crowd be brought along
When the singer sings this song?

8 BARS OF LONELY--
Baked lyrical recipe;
I hoped this chart would reveal my heart;
Please play it in C.

8 BARS OF LONELY--
Sad song for eternity;
I hoped this chart will convey my heart;
Please sing it for me.
