A great track inspired by and instigated by Susan DeVita. The song was perfect the way she had it but I felt it could use a middle section. In this case I think it elevates the song to an unexpected place and then lands you back succinctly to the strong chorus SD came up with. I like it. I sang this at my sister's little basement studio in Commack just to have something for Anthony Pomes to play guitar to. Turns out it was a pretty good vocal. This stripped down version does not contain the wonderful guitar solo Anthony played. You need to go to Susan's CD "Something Good" to hear that. Anthony also suggested the line "I wanna shine your sun" as opposed to "hang your sun" which was the original line. It works. Susan, Marci Geller and Cathy Kreger used to do a nice live version of this when they were the group "Lucky 13". Nice.

lyrics

NOBODY SAYS SWEETHEART ANYMORE

I wanna be your star
I wanna be your moon
Glow on your pillow
Crawl down your sheets and sleep like spoons

And when the morning comes
I wanna shine your sun
Rain in your shower
Steam up your tea and breathe on you

But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweet heart do you?

Call me a pirate's fool
Steal all my treasure too
But don't call me fickle
My offers stand tried and true for you

But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweet heart do you?

Tried to forget it
I tried to let go
Sometimes that's a hard thing to do
The world that we know is not always as it's seen through other's eyes
I wish you could see through mine
Would you? - Could you?

But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweet heart do you?
Sweet heart do you?
