about

For my first album I wrote a song called "The First Time Again," around a C major 7th chord and it was very well received, even getting featured on the International Broadcast of Dick Robinson's American Standards By the Sea, and I wanted to try to write another song that starts off with a major 7th. This time I used an A major 7th and it took a lot of work but I think I came up with a really nice set of lyrics and the melody just flowed from that. My daughter played a beautiful flute solo over a very light Bossa Nova rhythm and I think it's a perfect little song. We referred to this song as the Lionel Richie ballad, it's kind of a soul song in a way. I'd like to think that Linda Creed, who wrote so many meaningful lyrics for Kenny Gamble's melodies, would have been happy with this song. I found myself thinking of her when I was writing this. Maybe that’s why it’s got a little of that seventies Philadelphia soul sound to it. It’s definitely one of my favorite songs, it’s sad but sweet.

lyrics

I Miss You, Where'd You Go?
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

I miss you...where'd you go?
We were making love each night not long ago,
But now our life is not the same,
We've grown apart, we're both to blame,
We're not on the same wavelength like before,
I feel that you don't want me anymore...

I text you...no reply...
It's not easy working all day wondering why,
Until recently we've been best friends,
What's happening to us makes no sense,
I can't believe how quickly things can change,
Like sunshine giving way to steady rain...

-chorus-
I miss you, where'd you go?....
If you've given up on me I need to know,
Perhaps you've found another,
But for me there'll be no other,
After all these years I can't believe we're through,
I miss you...where'd you go...what can I do?...

-flute solo-

-repeat chorus-

I love you... that's the truth...
No one will ever take the place of you,
But I'm alone and now you're gone,
Days are dark and nights are long,
I hope I'll wake up soon from this bad dream,
I miss you... where'd you go...come back to me...
I miss you,...where'd you go...come back to me...
