I
Betty
When I see you I’m sweaty
It’s just the nerves in me
Betty
I’m a living wreck
Betty
I may never be ready
To face a future with
Betty
I’ll never be there
In time
I’ll find that I’m left behind
Such indecision is
My crime
I cannot commit
Meantime
Forever seems like a long time
When it all comes down to
Showtime
I cannot declare
My love for you
Love for all my life
Yes, it’s true
The love I have for
Betty
It’s the thought of us steady
It makes me feel all
Fretty
And I can’t back down
Betty
I know I come off as petty
And a life without
Betty
Is the one I choose.
My love for you
May not fade away
But we two
Never meant to be.
Commentary I rediscovered an instrumental piece that I had composed several years before on a video of me listening to it. I had lost the original recording, and any other copies in any form, so was glad to rediscover it. I captured the audio from the video and dubbed it "Waterfall" for the want of a better name.
After reentering the music painstakingly through MuseScore, I decided to try to add some lyrics to it. It fits into the "Only Golden Fingers" universe, based on the character of "Betty Stone."
My version submitted to FAWM included my own vocal.
