4. Rockin with You
4. Rockin with You (by Tara Scheyer)
This is the first "tara" song I've written in a year, maybe two. I was watching my boy play
on his new Kangaroo Climber that my mom (Mimi) got him for his 2nd birthday and I
picked up the guitar and it all came out at once. I wanted a song that we could waltz
around to. Now, each night as we head to the rocker to read before bed, Felix reminds
me that it's my favorite part of the day. I thank him for the reminder, but somehow I
don't think I could ever forget.
ROCKIN WITH YOU
V1
One foot up and one foot on the ground
It won't get me anywhere, it won't move me all around
But two feet up and higher still
It looks like we might soon be king of this hill
Chorus
Climbing, I'm climbing, I'm climbing, it's true
Climbing may not seem like much fun to do
But I'm climbing, I'm climbing, I'm climbing it's true
And I'll keep climbing as long as I'm climbing with you
V2
Kick & pull and to & fro
It won't get me anywhere or tell me what I need to know
But pump your feet and hold on tight
It's a beautiful day for a mid-morning flight
Chorus
Swinging, I'm swinging, I'm swinging so high
Swinging is not such a hard thing to try
Swinging, I'm swinging, I'm swinging it's true
And I'll keep swinging as long as I'm swinging with you
V3
One arm out front and one behind
won't get me anywhere, it won't broaden my mind but a
leap and spin and a good wiggle, too
and it looks like we might fit right in at the zoo
Chorus
Dancing, I'm dancing right out of my shoes
Dancing my heart out, my heart out for you
Dancing, I'm dancing, I'm dancing, it's true
And I'll keep dancing as long as I'm dancing with you
V4
A word, a sound, a mixed-up punch line
It won't get me anywhere, it won't save me any time but
lean in close and bend an ear
it's the funniest thing that you ever will hear
Chorus
Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm laughing it's true
I've heard it before, but each time it's new
Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm laughing, it's true
And I'll keep laughing as long as I'm laughing with you
Bridge
And we get taller
and we grow stronger
we become wiser
until one day we find we no longer have time
for a sweet silly rhyme between two good friends
V5
Back & forth and down the lights
It won't get me anywhere, it won't show me any new sights but
Back & forth and close your eyes
My favorite part of the day has arrived
Chorus
Rocking, I'm rocking, the best thing I do
Rocking my baby, my sweet baby you
Rocking, I'm rocking, I'm rocking it's true
and I'll keep rocking as long as I'm rocking with you
