about

Written in the winter and recorded in the late summer of 2000, "Joy in the Now" tweaks the opening line of "For Dana" (track number 4, written earlier) in a positive way; where the latter was despondent, this one's exuberant. I played a single guitar part, but ran the signal through the overdrive pedal and the Punkifier separately and recorded both, giving it a different sound. A guitar/bass/drums song, from a mostly guitar/bass/drums kinda guy.

lyrics

Woke up beside you on Monday,
Woke up serene, with a smile,
Couldn't believe you were with me,
I lay next to you for a while.

We hugged and we kissed and we cuddled,
The love and the joy were so strong,
Wished we could stay in bed longer,
But my job wouldn't wait for too long...

CHORUS:
Don't know when I'll see you again, but I will,
Don't know when I'll see you again, but I will!

I showered and thought back to Sunday,
At the Park, I waited for you,
We came to the Nuthouse and caught up,
I knew that our love was so true.

You brought a smile to my lips,
And such lightness to my heart,
Doesn't matter where you go,
We'll never truly part.

Amazingly only ten hours,
Ten better would be hard to find.
I love you incredibly, my babe,
You're here in my heart and my mind.

You brought a smile to my lips,
And such lightness to my heart,
Doesn't matter where you go,
We'll never truly part.

I still see your eyes,
Smell your perfume in the air,
You're my angel, my sweet Bubbles,
For you I'll always care...

CHORUS:
Don't know when I'll see you again, but I will,
Don't know when I'll see you again, but I will!
Love to kiss the tip of your nose, and I will, again,
Heaven just to lay beside you, and I will, again...
