about

This is a simple little song that has mellowed slowly for more than 50 years. Today it's finally set free.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I got this ol’ guitar
A song or two
And this old world
To sing em to
I’m in this big old town but ya know
I’m moving on down the line
This time alone

Verse 2:
I got some long brown hair
My eyes are blue
I guess I look O.K.
I feel that way too
I’m looking everywhere but ya know
That I don’t really care
Which way I go

Chorus:
Singin bout me.
I ain’t so important
That I can’t waste my time
and so ya see
I ain’t humble and I ain’t blue
And I guess I got time to
Sit here brother and sing this song to you

Verse 3:
Well I don’t know
What it all means
I’m sure it ain’t quite
What it seems
But when darkness scares me in the night
I know that in the morning
Everything’s are going to be alright

Verse 4:
I’m one of you
You’re one of me
One and one make two
Two and on makes three
It all seems simple to me today
Tomorrow I just might feel
Some other way

Chorus:
Singin bout me.
I ain’t so important
That I can’t waste my time
and so ya see
I ain’t humble and I ain’t blue
And I guess I got time to
Sit here sister and sing this song to you

Verse 5:
I’m feeling good
I want to share
This song with you
Cuz I really care
And maybe tomorrow when we start to doubt
We can sing it together and remember
What it’s all about

Chorus:
Singin bout me.
I ain’t so important
That I can’t waste my time
and so ya see
I ain’t humble and I ain’t blue
And I guess I got time to
Sit here people and sing this song to you

Daniel Weinstein Mitchells Island, Australia

I started writing songs in my late 60s and have written quite a few. During lockdown in 2020 I happened upon a beat up old blue journal that I recognised from my travels in the early 70s. In it I discovered, much to my surprise, 7 completed songs and at least a dozen songs in progress that I'd completely forgotten. Now I can confidently say I've been a songwriter for over 50 years. ... more
