Lyrics

MY OWN PERSON

vs 1
Don't know what to tell you, I don't know what to say, even if I could I
wouldn't , there's too much in the way, I can't sleep at night, I can't think during daytime, there's too much that I feel

I need to be near you I need to see your smile somehow bein' with you makes it all worthwhile

CHORUS:
I've become my own person, not a replica of time, you take me just as I am
I can't imagine life without you

vs 2
wish I could hold you now, I want to give you my love, need to put my joy in your heart, that's the hardest part, want to share the friendship, I really wish it could grow

I need to be near you, I need to see your smile somehow bein' with you
makes my life worthwhile

CHORUS: 1 & 2
I've become my own person, not a replica of time, you take me just as I am
I can't imagine life without you, I want you to know me in a better way, want to share me with you, and you yourself with me, I've become my own person, not a replica of time, you take me just as I am
I can't oh no I can't I can't imagine life without you

Music & Lyrics by Toni Fournier ©2016

I can hear all the instruments well, nice sound. Vocalist has a passion and presence that shines on this track... very original but familiar sound. Enjoying the progression and development of the song very much. Vocal harmony is spot on. The vocal doubling at 2:15 is perfectly balanced, wow! A very good production I can hear lots of love in this artist.

The song has a very nice pleasant sound, has kind of a 50's Genre to it. I could have heard this tune on Happy Days the T.V. Show, at one of their slow dance scenes. The Fonz and one of his girlfriends....slow dancing cheek-to-cheek..I can see it all as I listen to this song.......Good Job.......

There is a lot of nice stuff here! The melody is quite pretty. The vocal has quite a bit of feel, although I don't know if it is contemporary. The harmony is sweetly done! Musically, this all makes sense to me.

Good organic vibes from some home grown performers. I

This song works well as it reminds the listener of both folk music and the retro-work of the mid 1940s. The lyrical story is well constructed and again, reminds us of an period in history some 70 years ago. The instrumentation is unique as it utilizes both an acoustic guitar and electric guitar providing melodic fills.

I like the old timey feel to this song and makes me remember the nights we used to dance all night long.
