A little midnight pick me upper



Now that school is out, I was searching the web for guitar chords and guess what I found. Alley cats! Are they ancient, or are they ancient? I would not be my father's daughter if I couldn't play at least one of their songs. This one is awesome. Here's the translation for what the lyrics mean.

If you're gonna love again - Alleycats

If you're gonna love again,
love with all your heart.

If you're gonna love again,
please take care of his heart.

You, who have picked him
without even thinking thinking about me.

Now I get to pray,
that you'll be happy with him.

If you're gonna love again, love with all your heart.
If you're gonna love, please watch his heart.

I can't stand in your way,
you've made up your mind.

Just let me remember,
things that I can't seem to forget.

Goodbye, I shall leave you be.

This song is so upbeat to sing to but also so sad. Can't seem to figure out what tone to use, really. It is hopeful yet, sad for the person singing it.

It's hard to fault Dave, Loga and friends. A legendary band to continue coloring the airwaves for years to come.

You're right though. Just how does one carry this number? You have these sappy lyrics over bright string section lightening up the mood, somehow.
