Here I am by Vince Rico

Genre

Pop

Artist

Co-writer(s)

no

Performer(s)

Only myself, written recorded and performed

Description

This song I had written inspired by Mick Hucknall and Simply Red
I was imagining Mick singing it and his band playing it
I pictured each band member playing each part
Of course I played everything on this piece but always wondered how great it would be to have Mick like the song enough to record and play it.
I’d love to have real professionals play this piece

Bio

Not much to tell, I’ve been writing and recording at home most of my life.
I love the craft of songwriting and trying to record the song that is in my head
Of course I am restricted to my playing abilities but love the challenge.
Now recording in digital instead of tape many years ago has allowed me to start a modest you tube channel purely for pleasure. I keep learning and trying to write a “really good song”

Lyrics

Here I Am
( Vince Rico Oct. 2023 )


Nice to hear from you today
Years have replaced the days
And the tears have gone away
We have grown
It’s funny what you say
I’ve forgotten you this way
Makes me long for yesterdays
For a while

Could we even dare to say?
Let’s get back to those early days
If you could you see me again that way

Then here I am
( Come on baby try to think this way)
Should we really just , fade away
I know I know its crazy to say it
Just imagine anyway
(lead )

Then here I am
( Come on baby try to think this way)
Should we really just , fade away
I know I know its crazy to say it
Just imagine anyway

Your silence here today
Tells me you don’t feel this way
You don’t have to explain
You caught on a off day
So you never feel this way


Can’t get back to those early days
You can’t see again me that way
It’s ok ,but if you change your mind
(Here I Am)
I know right now you don.t see it
( Her I Am)
Tomorrow never knows
( Here I Am )
So if you have a change of heart
I’ll be waiting first in line
Here I Am
Here I am
