From the recording Beside Myself

Finally “I Won't Be Singing With Her” is clearly a song about loss – actually a double loss. Drew's emotional vocals are dramatically decorated with Bruce Kaphan's cosmic pedal steel guitar. The perfect end to an album that takes us on a journey through the cycle of life.

Lyrics

I Won't be Singin' With Her
Drew James ©2018

When I first heard her sing
I knew we'd be a team
Her voice fit mine just right
And her eyes lit up my life

Well she had me from the start
As she sang of broken hearts
Little did I know some day
She'd break my heart then run away

So I won't be singin' with her anymore
The harmony she brought to me
Now seems so far out of reach
I won't be singin' with her anymore
The words of love that used to rhyme
Now sit lonely on the line
No I won't be singin' with her anymore

This morning I found a trace
Of lipstick on a pillowcase
A little thing she left behind
A romantic souvenir

Inside this old suitcase
Is all the music that we played
Now the songs we once shared
Are all romantic souvenirs

No (Chorus)

Well it's time to go
Tomorrow is another show
Another chance to entertain
And to chase my blues away

If you missed a word or two
Of this song I sang to you
Come tomorrow night at ten
I will sing it all again

But I won't be singin' with her anymore
The harmony she brought to me
Now seems so far out of reach
I won't be singin' with her anymore
The words of love that used to rhyme
Now sit lonely on the line
No I won't be singin' with her anymore
No I won't be singin' with her anymore
