Ed Du Bois, IslandHome, Records: Songs/Lyrics/Stories

This is a love song that I wrote for a very good friend, Odessa. No, we never had a relationship. I was just terribly moved by the news that she was struggling with serious health issues. I thought about what I liked about Odessa and what she ment to me and my family. The lyrics to the song quickly flowed out. When I finished the song and played it about fifty times it really felt right! Godspeed Odessa!

Capo at 5th fret, Chord pattern A-G, D-G-E, A-E.

1
The sunshine in your eyes,
Your beauty that would hypnotize,
Your kindness immortalized,
Odessa,Odessa

2
Your life's like a summer breeze,
Soft and warm and good for me,
Your love meant everything,
Your smile made the heavens sing,

3
I recall that day we met,
Our lives had no regret,
We sang our sweat song,
Till love came along.

Odessa

Repeat 1,2 and 3 then fade with Odessa......
