Someone Else's Wife (Male Jazz/Blues)


Artist: Roger Long
Key Signature:
Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
It happened twice in my life that I had a very good friend...and that friend had a wife or girlfriend...whom I also became very close too. It just so happened that in both cases my 'friends" had to be away for some periods of time and I spent time alone with their partners. I still recall to this day the intense desire and longing that grew within me as I spent time alone with those women...and I knew that they also had strong 'feelings' about me. No words were spoken, no kisses exchanged. Everyday an act of being platonic friends while a volcano simmered inside me. A battle between loyalty to my friends, desire ...and respect for the years they had invested in each other. .
I am glad I kept my moral compass and didn't betray a friend, selfishly destroy a relationship or surrender recklessly to my, our, instincts.

You know I've been watching and I've waited
Always dreamed.. this day would come
But now I have.. the chance to hold you
Somethings feeling wrong...
You know I love you.. and I want you
And I'll regret this.. my whole life
But I.. can't lay down beside you
Because you're someone else's wife.
‐‐------------------
Oh my friend.. be careful what you pray for..
'Cos one day.. that wish just might come true..
You'll find a dream.. can turn into a nightmare..
And you don't win... you only lose.
-----------------------------------
[Interlude]

In the heat and passion of the moment..
I can't forget.. there's one who loves you more..
All those years he stood there right beside you
He's a good man.. I know loves you for sure..
It made me stop....and think about him..
And it made.. me realise..
That I.. can't lay down beside you..
Because you're someone else's wife.
------------------
Oh my friend.. be careful what you pray for..
'Cos one day.. that wish just might come true..
You'll find a dream.. can turn into a nightmare..
And you don't win... you only lose.

[Break]
There are instincts....
There are emotions....
Think with your head..
Love with your heart..
It's hard to choose in all of this emotion
Two loves..one life..
To carry on or a new start?
-------------------------------
{interlude]
----------------------------------
Now I know you're feeling hurt and anger..
Now that passions turned to shame..
And it's true.. that I encouraged you..
But I thought.. this was just a game..
You know that I have longed and ached for you..
And I've lain awake at night
But I can't lay down beside you
Because you're someone else's wife.
-----------------------------------
Oh my friend.. be careful what you pray for..
'Cos one day.. that wish just might come true..
You'll find a dream.. can turn into a nightmare..
And you don't win... you only lose
