Joy:  I wrote this song, "The Sweeetest Man," in tribute to Mike, to capture the essence of what he has meant to me.

Here is a link to a Vimeo recording of me playing the song this morning.  Lyrics are below.

Mike, this is for you:

The Sweetest Man

Music & Lyrics c2013 Joy Weinberg

Composed February & March 2013


You know that great day feelin’

It’s the best day of your life

You got to tell somebody

Everything that’s goin’ right

Who’s gonna listen

All the day and through the night

That’s right …. That’s right

 

Chorus

The sweetest man

The sweetest man you’ve ever seen

The sweetest man    

The sweetest man you’ll ever meet

Look in the man

The teddy bear is underneath

 

You know that sinkin’ feelin’

All that you thought was true were lies  

You got to tell somebody

Who’ll get so mad, you’ll feel fine

Who’s gonna listen

All the day and through the night

That’s right …. That’s right

 

 

Bridge

Yes when you’re sad or worried or just need to call a friend

Who’ll listen ‘til the waterfall of tears comes to an end

Who wants just one thing from you—that’s to make you smile again

He’s your man   

He’s your man

 

Chorus

 

You know that “do it!” feeling

You got a dream you can make true

But everyone’s near sighted

Like the whole world’s versus you

Who’s gonna pump you

Keep your spirit shining through

He can ….  He can  

 

Chorus 2x (lyrics changed per below)

 

The sweetest man

The sweetest man I’ve ever seen

The sweetest man

The sweetest man I’ll ever meet

You’ll always be

The best of men to

You’ll always be

The best of men, see

 

The sweetest man

The sweetest man I’ve ever seen

The sweetest man

The sweetest man I’ll ever meet

You’ll always be

The best of men to

You’ll always be

The best of men, to

You’ll always be

The best of men, to me
