Lyrics, first of at least two...


How Can I Tell You
Cat Stevens

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
but I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you, but my words
just blow away, just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
and I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that
you can't hear, sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
when I look and you're not there
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore
and -- each night and day I pray, in hope
that I might find you, in hope that I might
find you, because hearts can do no more
It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
but I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing honey
and I can't think of right words to say


And for what it's worth, Chords are available here.

Which makes me really really happy; looks autoharp friendly.

Did you know I have an old "school type" autoharp?
My grandma Tallman gave me hers. Maybe you could try it out sometime? It doesn't get much play time with me.
Speaking of autoharps...I saw Bryan Bowers up at the old church on the mountain at the Burritt a few months ago. Incredible amount of music comes from that man's hand. It made me cry.

just the place for a ...wait, no... ;D

Really? I'd be curious to get a look at it. When in tune, they're one of the most lovely, simple instruments to play...of course, *out* of tune, cats in heat are easier to listen to... ;p

Bryan Bowers? I should know this name... Enlighten me?

My co-worker Lou Beasley, autoharp/guitar player, just recently tuned it up for me so it should be playing pretty good right now. :-)
I'm going to pick one of my BB tunes and sent it to you...but perhaps, before you get the .wma, I can tell you he's probably most popularly famous for a tune he sings, that isn't even his own and he doesn't play the autoharp in it...
The Scotsman??
ring a bell?
