For as long as I can remember, lyrics run through my head. Those familiar to me have heard me recite popular song lyrics as part of everyday conversation. What is less known is compose original lyrics.
Less known is a stretch. Completely unknown is more accurate.
Why? I didn’t write them down.
​
Until 2020.
​
Starting then, for about a year I impulsively started capturing those lyrics. And just as impulsively I stopped.
​
Those lyrics laid dormant until I started discussing songwriting with Dan Cooper. Dan has written, recorded and released on YouTube some of original compositions. During one conversation, I shared some of my lyrics. And it was then I decided to share them with the world.
​
Similar to Bernie Taupin - I write the lines - and it is my hope that one or more of you will take on the role of Elton John by adding the music and vocals.
​
And when you do - please share with me.
​
I will be adding more lyrics as time goes by - if you want to receive notification when I post them - please drop me a line at info@philyale.com
