By The Way

"By The Way" was the first song that Scott and I ever wrote together. We had only been dating a few months when I gave him a love poem I had written. When I saw him a few days later, he had made my poem into a song. And a good song! It is requested by many brides for weddings that he plays. Some walk down the aisle to it, and many use it as the first dance. Scott played a wedding recently where the bride and groom not only danced to it as their first dance, but also sang every word to each other. That is very cool! You can hear the song on Scott's website:

BY THE WAY
~copyright November 1992~

There's something about you
That makes me smile even if I'm blue.
You have a way of knowing what to say
And by the way, I'm in love with you today.

There's something about you
That makes me think your love is true.
You have a way, You make me want to stay
And by the way, I'm in love with you today.
(I'm in love with you today.)

When I first saw your face all I noticed was your smile
And I thought how nice it was to watch it for a while.
And when your eyes looked into mine I knew that I was lost
But I also knew a face like that could well be worth the cost
And by the way, I'm in love with you today.

Will you take me in your arms and say you love me too?
Can you say you know just what I mean, and know just what to do?
And if I had a wish, I'd wish to always feel this way
To feel the way I feel for you today, but , anyway
I'm in love with you today.

And then I heard your voice, and the sweet way that you sang
And your words were a soft caress that fell on me like rain.
And then you reached out to me and you put your hand in mine
And you said that life's a song and we were the next line
And by the way, I'm in love with you today.
By the way...
