Tell Someone You Do

I wrote this song years ago during the dog days of summer, and it had been a long while since I told my sister and brother that I loved them, and probably too long since I told my wife and daughter. After I finished the song, I made a point to tell all of them that I loved them, and they all said they did too. It seems a lot easier and more naturally to tell them now.

This is also one of those acoustic tunes that came alive in the garage with my electric guitar strapped to me and a loud drum beat. Sometimes it just feels good to scream into a mic.

Again it is pretty rough but I still wanted to share it. Maybe one day we will do a serious recording of it.

I’m working on another verse about my friends, my in-laws, and my cousins and how I need to tell them I love them too.

Enjoy!

Tell Someone You Do
written by: Phil Kane (2015)

As I lay down for a catnap on a dog day afternoon
An awful thought, came to mind, that life had passed me by
So I took a deep breath and I jumped out of bed
And went and hugged my wife
I told her that I loved her, and she hugged me right back

Chorus:
Tell someone you love, that you love them
Tell someone you love that you do x2	

As I was walking up a hill in my neighborhood
I thought of my brother and my sister too
And I wondered when the last time, that I said I love you
So I called them right up and I told them
and they said they do too

Chorus:

As I was writing this song, I thought of my little girl
But my little girl is not my little girl anymore
She's a grown woman, and I'm an old man
But I told her that I loved her
and she said, I love you too dad

Chorus:
