I Do

{written by Penny Dale and Laurie Webb}

This is not a new song... I wrote it years ago.  At the time, someone I was in love with was getting married to someone else.  I knew when they were getting married, and for months leading up to that day my heart beat like a clock.  It was such a constant uneasiness I thought the ticking countdown clock in my heart would drive me insane, and there was nothing I could do.  After the date passed, the clock stopped and just left me with a dull sadness.  But at least the clock had stopped...
I never played this song out or really for anybody, until recently.  There was a week of a full moon and somehow I felt the clock again.  I guess the song just wanted to be played, so I made a little video of it.  Days later I found Laurie again, I hadn't talked to her in years!  And we may demo it soon.

The strangest part?  And something that I just realized (believe it or not), the significance of the song's title, "I Do"...

I Do

Tonight I can feel you
Looking up at the same moon
and just like the faithful tides
I am so drawn to you
I can't forget how you touched me
Or the look in your eyes
And I'd die just to hold you
Though I know it ain't right

I go crazy, lately
thinking of you
I know it's crazy, to want you
the way that I do
and baby I do

And the pleasure of your memory
Is such a dangerous muse
I can't have you and I can't let you go
Either way I lose
And now I'm staring down the barrel
Of a life without your face
Knowing we're alive, and not together baby
Is gonna drive me insane

I go crazy, lately
thinking of you
I know it's crazy, to want you
the way that I do
and baby I do

Words just can't say what I, say what I feel for you baby
Words just can't say what I, say what I feel for you baby
Ooooh, oooh oooh
OOOOOh

I go crazy, lately

thinking of you

I know it's crazy, to want you

the way that I do, I do

Baby I do

Baby I do

I do
