maybiize asked: My beautiful daughter Eloïse has heard your almost equally beautiful song (smile). We love this song and would like to learn it. Could you post the lyrics. (I am lame at guitar but will try to figure out the chords - unless you could share that too???) It was a pleasure discovering your music. Mary, mother of Eloïse

Not only does this touch my heart, but also my soul. It brightens my day to hear that my music can touch so many beautiful people out there, to me there’s nothing that can compare.

At that point in my life I did not write down any of my music, just recorded and came up with it on the spot. However, after reading your message I took the time to pull out my guitar and write down all the chords & lyrics. I hope you sing this to your daughter always, thank you for kind words and appreciation.

G                         D                        C                        G            

I was a young boy when our eyes did meet

C                         D                        C                        G

You were my neighbor my friend you see

G                         D                        C                        G            

We threw pebbles in the old creek

C                         D                        C                        G

Abandoned our good shoes and ran in bare feet

G                         D                        C                        G

And as we got older my dear Eloise

C                        D                        C                        G

I fell in love your love is so sweet

C                        D                        C            D

What do you feel when you look in to me

C                        A7

Oh my sweet Eloise

G                         D                        C                        G

Now we’re much older my love I confess

C                         D                        C                        G

You’ll walk down the aisle in your mothers dress

G                         D                        C                        G

I’ll never stop loving you any less if you just say yes

EM                         A             A7                        D

I’m still falling for you….

C                         D                         C             D

What do you feel when you look into me

C                        A7

Oh my sweet Eloise

EM        A            A7     D              G

I’m still falling for you

Waltz In Love - (Original)Song By: Ryan Escalante

Lyrics

Take me in your arms again

And I don’t know this if you know it but you are my only friend

Take my hand and I’ll go where you want me to go

We can take a walk but lets take the long way home

And I know you’ve been hurt but I’m not like other men

Well love can make you stupid but I never want to loose you again

And I’m such a sucker and you lead me on

Well I think I may be right but then again I could be wrong

I can’t stop myself from loving you

Tell me what to say

Show me what to do

Let’s lay under the stars and we’ll look to the sky

Well I look to you and you gaze into my eyes

Every time you touch me I feel like I could melt

I used to hide away my love but somehow you let it out

I’m such a sucker for a sad love song

And I’ll listen to it over and over all night long

And tomorrow always comes to soon

I’m waltzing in love

I’m dancing on the moon

The Musician (A Self Portrait) Ryan N. Escalante - July, 2012

Brand New - Original Song By: Ryan Escalante

Good Gal - Original Song By: Ryan Escalante

First song of my newest album that has just currently begun in the works titled ‘Phonograph.’

Lyrics

I don’t want you to be sad

No blue skies only grey clouds and tears in your eyes

And I know why but you won’t tell me

Oh goodness me, why all the lies

They say get a good gal and keep her by your side

She’ll love you and kiss you and always treat you right

But a good gal is a a hard gal to always find

I’ve been with so many to know exactly why

Your Hand fits warm in mine

And your eyes will always find

Any sadness inside

Will fade away, will fade away…

Because your a good gal

A sweet gal

A one of a kind

My hunny bunch, a picnic lunch outside

And I know exactly why I feel so warm inside

Your hand fits warm in mine

Your eyes always find 

Any sadness I have inside

And it fades away, let it fade away…

A Heart Can Heal - Original Song By: Ryan Escalante

She said a heart can heal, babe it’s not your fault that I’m leaving here

Some things just have to end it just wasn’t meant nothing’s permanent

And in time you’ll love again it’ll be someone who can be your friend

So don’t waste your tears on me I’m just a chapter you have finished me

It was complicated but it made you think, and now you’re free

In my life I can say I’ve tried yet I find myself unsatisfied

Can’t seem to find what I’m destined for should give up hope is there something more

I fill my head with philosophies I’ve become a skeptic I think logically

Yet I can’t seem to help myself many have tried but it never helped

For what I long I have never felt, I never felt

Sometimes it all seems meaningless I can’t get over what I won’t forget

Its been a while since I’ve felt your touch or been dreamt about or fell in lust

Somedays it’s alright and some days its not it’s hard to think that its not my fault

But Im sure I’ll live through these lonesome days I’ll stay indoors and I’ll watch the rain

It will be hard but I’ll stay sane, and wait for you
