about

"It Was You" is a tribute to the pop acts of the mid-Sixties, mostly American acts like the Turtles or Monkees, but also British acts like The Kinks, which sometimes ventured out of rock norms to throw in a touch of British Music hall. All these acts occasionally released uptempo, sunny, happy, sometimes silly tunes with catchy choruses. This song is in the same vein. It can be sung by either a man or a woman, the overriding sentiment is that the person being sung about changed the singer's life.

Envision the singer romping through the park on a sunny day, throwing caution -- and maybe flower petals -- to the wind. Instrumentation recalls those classic tunes: bright guitar, thumping bass and drums, a happy, singalong breakdown with handclaps followed by trumpets and a calliope on the repeated outro. Calliope suggests, of course, a circus. At least in my day, everyone loved the circus. But you'll also hear calliope on a merry-go-round. Either way, it's a happy sound. Most of my songs deal in love, in all its forms.

lyrics

I stumbled around
Head in the sky
Feet on the ground
I was blue

I, I was so down
Didn’t know how to turn it around
Who came through?

CHORUS
It was you
Who swept me off my feet
Made my life complete
It was you

It was you
Who gave me love so sweet
No one can compete
It was you

VERSE 2
I, I couldn’t see
That you were there waitin for me
I was blind
You broke through the clouds
You took my hand and turned me around
It’s all true

CHORUS
It was you
Who swept me off my feet
No one can compete
It was you

DRUM BREAK

CHORUS
It was you
Who gave me love so sweet
It had to be you
It was you
Who swept me off my feet
Made my life complete
It was you

It was you
Who gave me love so sweet
It had to be you

It was you
Who swept me off my feet
I repeat
It had to be you

Yeah it was you
Who swept me off my feet
It had to be you
