Sappy the Love Song

This week at Cherokee Cove is the 4th annual Song Writer's Camp!
I love this week, it is so inspirational, and touching.
I always try to squeeze out some musical  creativity with the constant ho and hum of instruments filling the air.
Two years ago I taught my self how to whistle, and last year I tried to compose a camp song to a T-Swift tune (that was lameo) ha. This year, Hunter said she would sing a song that I write so the pressure's on!
But also this year I have had a flash back to when I was 13.


Rebekah Ford(Garner), Eliza and I were driving around town one day and it was raining. Some how we got to talking about love songs and were inspired to pen our own!
Sappy the Love Song was born.
I only really remember the first verse and chorus - it's hilarious!

"Down came the rain, it was so wrong.
Your glance your smile, all so long gone.
Stop my tears with your smile
and I'll be yours for a long long while!

Cause the the sun is gone
My heart is dark!
My life is bleak 
and my car's in park!"

We also had something about a shark and washing 'him' out of our hair like shampoo. I wish we had recorded a video or something! Or even written it all out because Rebekah played it on the piano so we should have written out the chords. Oh, yes, good times. :)
