Backstory:
He fell in love, and although she was charmed by his style, she never said those three magic words. For him, that would have made a difference. Co-written by Anthony Prezio and Clare Steffen as a part of the Round the Globe project. Performed by Anthony Prezio with Saxaphone by John Seneta. As is the tradition of George Harrison's song, "Something" which is considered one of the best love songs, he never actually says "I Love You" in the lyric. I didn't realize this at the time I wrote the lyric and chose a title, but I figured although it is rarely done, perhaps as an Indie songwriter, it is alright to give it a try. Anthony has a fluid style and at times has a tendency to break the rhyme scheme, but again, maybe as an Indie songwriter, this is a little more accepted. This song was written in the Tin Pan Alley tradition, so it intentionally has a retro-style.
Lyrics:
And she said to me
"I like your style"
Words I haven't heard
In a long, long while
These words
Would have mattered back then
But that time is neither here or then
She said to me
Hey Mister, I like your style
Chorus
Three small words
Might have made a difference
If she said them
I can't remember when
Three small words
Might have made a difference
If I could go back
To where it all began
V3
When did love go out of fashion
I think it is always in vogue
Let's not forget the moments
When you fell in love with my style
You promised me heaven
For a long long while
She said to me
Hey Mister, I like your style
Instrumental Bridge
Hey mister, I like your style
Chorus
Three small words
Might have made a difference
If she said them
I can't remember when
Three small words
Might of made a difference
If I could go back
To when it all began
V3
She said to me
"I like your style"
Words I hadn't heard
In a long, long while
These words
Would have mattered back then
But that time is neither here or then
She said to me
Hey mister, I like your style
She said to me
Hey mister, I like your style
She said to me
Hey mister, I like your style
Outro
Why don't you come over here
And sit with me for a while
