I was just about to kiss her, when she said “write a song for me.” So, this is just for Debbie Harris.

I Don’t Know How It Is

first verse – freestyle, pp :

In the quiet of the night,

I stay awake and watch you sleep,

Your hair is lying softly on my skin,

And I don’t know how it is,

As I dream about your kiss,

That I so deeply feel this love I’m in.

chorus in moderate 6/8 rhythm, soft-shoe style, mf :

I love you.

From the moment that I saw you, my heart began to know,

I love you,

And the knowing turned to wanting,

My heart began to grow…for you.

second verse, still in rhythm, mf :

When I hold you next to me,

It is very hard to see,

That I could love you much more than I do,

And I don’t know how it is,

That with just one gentle kiss,

I find that I am more in love with you.

chorus, f:

I love you.

From the moment that I saw you, my heart began to know,

I love you,

And the wanting turned to yearning,

My heart began to grow…for you.

refrain – p with gradual crescendo to f :

From the first, I was drawn to your laughter,

And the soft, gentle look in your eyes,

Though sometimes, we’re apart,

You still fill my heart,

With such love it sings to the skies!

chorus with key change 1/2 step up  – ff:

I love you.

From the moment that I saw you, my heart began to know.

I love you.

And the yearning turned to needing,

My heart began to grow.

key change  – another 1/2 step up :

I love you.

From the moment that I saw you, my heart began to know.

 – crescendo – fff ! –

I love you !

 – f – phrase-long diminuendo to p –

And, the wanting turned to yearning,

The yearning turned to needing,

The needing turned to loving you.

epilogue – quietly & slowly – p to pp :

And I do know what it is.

It is

Your

Gentle

Kiss.
