Eddie Mugavero: music
AT THE SAME TIME
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Bill Young)
I've always loved this melody and message. The verse melody is Lennon influenced. He often sang one note with a moveable chord structure beneath. Bill sung this on TNN's Be A Star and won the grand prize, $10,000!! I got a BMI check for a buck and a half.
AT THE SAME TIME
YOU’RE THE LIGHT I HOPED TO SEE IN EVERY STAR THAT SHINED ON ME
FOR I HAVE WISHED AND BEEN WISHED FOR
BUT NEVER AT THE SAME TIME TIL YOU..
YOU’RE THE JOY I HOPED TO FIND UP ALL THE STAIRS I’VE EVER CLIMBED
FOR I HAVE LOVED AND I’VE BEEN LOVED
BUT NEVER AT THE SAME TIME
UNTIL YOU, I MIGHT HAVE DREAMED FOREVER
BUT NEVER THOUGHT I’D EVER SEE YOUR FACE
WITH YOU ALL THE PIECES FELL TOGETHER
AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AND THE SAME PLACE
YOU’RE THE STRENGTH AND FAITH I NEED TO LIFT ME UP AND COMFORT ME
FOR I HAVE CRIED AND BEEN CRIED FOR
BUT NEVER AT THE SAME TIME TIL YOU
YOU’RE THE HEART I LONGED TO FIND GENTLY RACING NEXT TO MINE
FOR I HAVE TOUCHED AND I’VE BEEN TOUCHED
BUT NEVER AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL YOU
