You Got You got everything to live for You got time on your side You got the whole world to explore and cherish You got morning sun and evening tide You got white clouds and sunny skies You got hail and rain You got sandy beaches and parasols But, you’re gonna have some love and pain There’s stars up in the heavens Pretty soon you’re gonna name them all You got a solar system of planets to love If you only listen for their call Chorus So don’t you go a-worrying Don’t you doubt or fear Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy Because hope is always near You got films and books and TV shows To admire and enjoy everyday You got politicians and lifestyle debates And if you want – you can have your own say. You got love, devotion and holding hands With someone who cares for you You’re gonna grow old gracefully Knowing that you bin knew! You got Friday nights and Sunday mornings The occasional glass of wine Friends who will stand beside you Pretty much most of the time Chorus So don’t you go a-worrying Don’t you doubt or fear Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy Because hope is always near You got books and stories and poetry You got influences of all kinds of stuff You got music, old and new You know – you just can’t get enough You’re gonna walk out into the countryside ‘N brush your hair ‘til you’re grey You’re gonna cycle and run after the midday sun You know you’re gonna be OK You got singing and playing the guitar You got Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ You got Youtube, Ebay and Facebook While you listen to Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ Chorus So don’t you go a-worrying Don’t you doubt or fear Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy Because hope is always near ©Simon Dwight 2012

about

This track is the stand out lead track from my forthcoming LP/DL only release entitled '2: New Day Dawns'.

I wrote the lyrics for my step-daughter Laura, who I initially envisaged singing it with me for the release, but as she was away at University, and because I had heard Emma's amazing range of vocal I asked her to record the female part. What a fantastic job she did of it. Thank you Emma. Maybe one day this will be performed live on stage and Laura will assist me.

The song tells a story of two lovers who share all the good things that they have to live for after a major disaster. Envisaged as a hand in hand walk conversation where they tell each other of all the reasons why they must carry on and imagine a brighter future.

Gabriel and I worked on this track a couple of years ago and released it on Soundcloud only. This version is as far as we got with the track, and is just too good to leave in my musical vault.
