lyrics

She was the apple in my eye
the stars up in the sky
a ray of sunshine
born secretly in mind

For all of this time
im surprised to find
that it was you,
was only you

D A

Maybe the color of your eye
Or the sparkle in your smile
Please baby stay awhile
And talk in ways now out of style

G D A

Ill bet your friends think im an ass
A moment waiting for your past
A has-been saving for his last
A resolution that will pass

G D A

Because when love is good for nothing
Is when your love is just for you

Certainly had some better days
Being treated like a saint
A golden greyhound at the stakes
Growin' finer with age

Well I havent as of late
When my ass went out of date
And all the homies gone away
To leave me fallin' from grace

Life will come and go so fast
You’ll forget all of your past
When maybe it’s not up to chance
Who will finish, who will pass

Throwin' my fist to make it last
The shit that took all that i had
With know one left that cant be mad
A swift retreat is all we have

Because when love is good for nothing
Is when your love is just for you

Whoo hoo!

D D7 G Gm D A A7

It’s not like me to make complaints
Eventually it goes my way
being able to relate
Is what gets me through these days

I’d love to laugh, I’d love to smile
But too many reasons to hold out
when its about bein' proud
Suggest you shut your fuckin mouth

Because when love is good for nothing
Is when your love is just for you

James Peter Pham Carroll Irvine, California

I started taking piano lessons at 7. At 10, I started writing songs. At 14, I got my first guitar. As a teenager and into my late 20's, I played in bands. From my late 20's to my 40's, I've been a solo musician; sometimes as "Lamposts". All of my artistic skills are primarily self taught.
98% of this music was written, performed, recorded and mixed by me. All artwork and photography is original. ... more
