Lyrics

Walk Beside Me
By Gary Ray Knowland

The summer sun
will soon be
on the rise
The dew
is on the grass
beneath my feet, oh yeah
Every line
of your face
I've memorized
Won't you come
and walk beside me
Into the light

It's been too long
I miss you
All the time
Tell me
You miss me too
Ease my mind, oh yeah
I miss you when
The moon
Is shining high
Won't you come
And walk beside me
Into the night

Walk beside me
In the morning light
Walk beside me
Neath the moonlit sky
Walk beside me
When I'm oh so tired of the fight
Walk beside me
The time is right

Lead Break

Walk beside me
In the morning light
Walk beside me
Neath the moonlit sky
Walk beside me
When I'm oh so tired of the fight
Walk beside me
The time is right

Its so nice
To see you
At my door
Kindred souls
So easily
We meld, oh yeah
Even after all
This time
Im mesmerized
Come walk along
Beside me
Into the light

This is so my speed. First, I love how you played this and produced it, very dreamy. I love how you soften your vocal for it...yes...I noticed LOL! I think your lyric matches the softer you. Everything beckons this love light, lovely music, sentiment and vocals....I'm sure you won't be walking alone!!! OH, and I wish you could teach me how to play guitar too....my lesson is after John's.

I see you've broken the country bubble! .... I really like this, it's got a very cool groove to it. Reminds me of a band from the 80s that I can't put my finger on. The vocal work on this is very cool.

First attempt and its quite an attempt. The keyboard and vocals are probably the best thing of this song, just a very strong feeling, like Im out in the sun or smth. Definitely do some more man.

Well yes that’s a change! Jazz? I’m not a good genre man but …. Well who cares about genre! It’s a darn good song!

@claudia 2w

Fantastic, love the vintage sound of this with the organ and the layered guitars. The solos are just lovely.

@dhiatt 2w

Wow, now this is a vibe. Such a strong feel right out of the gate. Love the interplay of all the guitar sounds. Lovely tones. Strong chorus too. So good!

@opossum 2w

wowzers Mr. @grayland, this sure is sum sweeet jazzy prog. I dunno howya do it! I truly wud not know where ta start fer such a song. But you obvioosly knew where to start AND where to finish! Xsaylent work here!

@johnstaples 2w

Well, I thought I didn't like jazz but I sure do like this! The music is really so sweet! Guess the progressive spin on the jazz is what's delighting me so much! And your lead guitar is fabulous! If I'd have paid a little more attention back in the day you might have been able to teach me to play a little guitar! Your lyrics are really beautiful! I love the short lines and how effective they are in carrying this message! Such an awesome hook. This one has everything! You are the master!!!

@overflow 2w

Cool smooth jazz sound. It made me nostalgic. I really like the melody of the chorus.

@resonut123 2w
