For my Caribbean babe

lyrics

Joanie’s Song
Words and Music by Robert E. Ellis © 2006


Saw you standing at the head of the line

A Dark Haired woman looking so fine

My head took a spin towards your way

And your glance made me want to say

CHORUS

Won’t you be mine


Could you be mine


Won’t you be mine


Oh just this one time

Well a glance turned to hours and long, long days spent

Talking on end about the ways

We’d pass the time and have some fun

And love each other till the morning sun


But somewhere along the line

We passed that place in space and time

Where our two hearts joined it seemed

And now I’m asking with that gleam


Won’t you be mine
Could you be mine
Won’t you be mine
Oh more of the time


And as we stroll those evening sands

Still laughing loud while hand in hand

I catch that look within your eyes

That takes me to those morning sighs


And as we lay there in the glow
We warm ourselves with love that grows
Basking sweetly in tender smiles
That leaves me all the more beguiled

I ask why
Won’t you be mine
Could you be mine
Oh a lot of the time





I know there will be hard times

But we’ll get by

Babe we’ll get by

Love’s not for the fainthearted

Let’s give it a try

Let’s give it a try

Well I don’t know where we may go
But something tells me I may know
We’re headed where the view is fine
And love surrounds all the time

So take me to that special place
Where nobody else can trace
A paradise with rainbow skies
Flamingos, oceans, and endless highs

And be mine
Could you be mine
Won’t you be mine
Oh all of the time

Won’t you be mine
Could you be mine
Won’t you be mine
Till the end of time

Rob Ellis South Portland, Maine

His love of music started as a child crowded around the piano in his Grandparents' tiny NYC apartment. His songs are honest and heartfelt and Rob’s tenor voice lets loose to the accompaniment of angelic backup singers and a host of incredible musicians ... more
