Feb 2022 needs-music lyrics lyrics-only collaboration needs-vocals looking-for-collaboration
I have joined this Skirmish a bit too late, but still liked the idea... I had that chorus already before and some ideas for the lines, so all I had to do is to complete it, and here it is..
If anyone likes these lyrics and would like to put them to music, I would be very happy. Please, feel free to alter the words any way you like…
Jim´s wife (SKIRMISH / needs music)
Sad things don’t need to be sad,
you wonder what I mean by that?
God bless Jim, death took his life,
but that´s how I could end up with his wife…
I don’t regard it as a sin,
rather as an act of respect for Jim…
he’d be glad for us
if he knew (and I’m sure he does!)
(Chorus)
My happy widow… happy widow…
sleeps on my pillow,
she knows to love me right…
Happy widow… my happy widow…
gives me love tonight…
Bad things don´t need to be bad,
some may turn out quite well instead…
God bless Jim, he rests in peace,
I take care of his wife, with love and kiss…
It’s strange when someone dies,
Jim’s in heaven now, I’m in paradise…
and if he can see
he’ll be happy for his wife and me…
(Chorus)
My happy widow… happy widow…
sleeps on my pillow,
she knows to love me right…
Happy widow… my happy widow…
gives me love tonight…
(Bridge)
For sure, Jim won’t get it wrong,
on Earth, what’s going on,
Jim, I do it just for you…
(Chorus)
My happy widow… happy widow…
sleeps on my pillow,
she knows to love me right…
Happy widow… my happy widow…
gives me love tonight…

That's an amazing lyric sheet!
Jim's in heaven, I'm in paradise
I'm glad things turned out so well for everyone--except maybe not for Jim.
I'm laughing, but it's actually a pretty deep song philosophically
