Eddie Mugavero: music
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
(Written by Eddie Mugavero & David Spear & Ray Duruge-Performed by David Spear & the Darts)
I remember writing this song in its entirety - melody and lyric, around Ray's amazing chord changes; and getting a positive nod from my co-writers. I was thinking about Hall & Oates. It was a great show opener, and David killed! Upon further review, it's a better song than for which I give it credit. I love the sentiment in the lyric; how the right person in your life can bring out a better version of you.
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
OH DARLIN’
I’VE HAD A HARD AND TRYIN’ DAY
OH LET ME LIE BESIDE YOU WHILE YOU MAKE IT GO AWAY
SWEET, SWEET DARLIN’..YOU’RE SUCH A SIGHT FOR WEARY EYES
AND RUSHIN’ HOME TO SEE YOU IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY NIGHT
OH, I UNWIND EACH TIME YOU HOLD ME TIGHT
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
THAN I EVER THOUGHT I’D BE
OH YOU’RE SO GOOD AT BRINGING OUT
THE VERY BEST IN ME
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
OH, LOVE I DO BELIEVE
YOU PUT MY SCATTERED PIECES BACK TOGETHER
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
OH, DARLIN’
AND WHEN YOU HOLD ME, I’M A STAR
OH, GIRL YOU LEAVE ME SHINING EVEN WHEN WE’RE FAR APART
SWEET DARLIN’, YOU ALWAYS GIVE THE BEST ADVICE
BUT I TRUST IN YOU COMPLETELY; YOU’RE MY CONFIDANTE FOR LIFE
OH, RIGHT OR WRONG YOU’RE ALWAYS ON MY SIDE
CHORUS
BETTER AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
AS LONG AS WE’RE TOGETHER..THERE’S NOTHING I CAN’T DO..
