JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback MP3 Feedback Forum My first co-write since Helen

This is the first co-write I've done since my life partner and soulmate Helen passed away. She was a great songwriter and we wrote many many songs together.
It's been a year and a half now. God Bless Her

Hi folks and friends.

We have had a lot of feedback above on our song "A Songwriters Dream (Gone Is The Wonderland)".

I have posted out new animated video into the video forum, but also here because of the number of views on this topic, who may be interested in following us, but miss the video forum.

I hope that you like it



If you can, a youtube like or comment would help.

First of all, a big thanks to all who left thoughts, comments and suggestions on the original song.

This is a re-write of the song with a male singer now. A finished song....

It has changed direction from the original, which is what happens sometimes when doing re-writes.

We hope that you enjoy it, and comments are welcome.

God Bless to all

A Songwriters Dream (Gone Is The Wonderland) (c) Roy Cooper - Jane Karwoski 2019

Verse 1:
When I get up for work
It's midway through the day
Wish I could stay in bed
But I have my bills to pay

verse2
I get home late at night
From a gig in Santa Fe
Singing to an empty club
To keep the wolf away

Chorus1
Gone is the Wonderland
I would dream of as a child
Singing with a famous band
To a crowd who's going wild

verse 3:
Now when I have a dream
I dream I'm writing songs
I have my own publisher
And I'm winning music gongs

Chorus1
Gone is the Wonderland
I would dream of as a child
Singing with a famous band
To a crowd who's going wild

bridge
I'm strumming on my guitar and have a drum machine
Knocking out some tunes, sounding really mean
A hundred sheets of paper, screwed up on the floor
Rejected words I've written, still I'm writing more

verse 4
Now it's come together
Another finished track
Feeling really shattered
It's time to hit the sack

verse 5
But before I fall asleep
I'll play the song that I wrote
Analyzing every word
Replaying every note

Chorus1
Gone is the Wonderland
I would dream of as a child
Singing with a famous band
To a crowd who's going wild

Tag outro
Now when I have a dream
I hear my latest song
I'll dream it's a massive hit
And I'll win myself a gong.....

Dream on..Dream on..Dream on..Dream on..Dream on..

Original Lyrics

Gone is the wonderland (c) Roy Cooper / Jane Karwoski 2019

Verse 1:
As I get up for work
It's early in the day
Wish I could stay in bed
But I have a bill to pay

chorus 1:
Gone is the wonderland,
I dreamt of as a child,
When Mum and Dad where there
To lead me by the hand

verse 2:
It's late when I get home
Been working hard all day
Relaxing in my chair
Takes my pain away

verse 3:
And when I fall asleep
I now dream of going far
Touring around the world
Become a superstar

chorus 1:
Gone is the wonderland,
I dreamt of as a child,
When Mum and Dad where there
To lead me by the hand

bridge
I worked all week paydays here again
Borrowed money for my music so I can't complain
Though paying a 'Bill' is always such a pain
Because 'Bill' ......... is my lenders name

chorus
Gone is the wonderland,
I dreamt of as a child,
When Mum and Dad where there
To lead me by the hand

Gone is the wonderland,
I dreamt of as a child,

Gone is the wonderland,
I dreamt of as a child,
