Written in January 2021 after nearly a year of Covid and lock downs when everyone was getting a little tired of it all, we needed something to look forward to. I was just noodling about on my guitar and came up with the simple riff and the rest came naturally.
Looking Forward
I’m looking forward to Springtime,
I’m looking forward to sunshine,
I’m looking forward to bluebells,
I’m looking forward to living well.
I’m looking forward to seeing my family,
I’m looking forward to meeting for coffee,
I’m looking forward to, holding my love,
And walking with her ‘neath the stars up above.
I’m looking forward to simple things,
I’m looking forward to hearing birds sing,
I’m looking forward to having friends round to stay,
I’m looking forward to going on holiday,
I’m looking forward to shaking hands,
I’m looking forward to seeing a live band,
I’m looking forward to hugging once more,
I’m looking forward to throwing open my door.
I’m looking forward to removing the mask,
I’m looking forward to freedom at last,
I’m looking forward to the end of disease,
I’m looking forward to no more conspiracies.
I’m looking forward to hearing the truth,
I’m looking forward to seeing the proof,
I’m looking forward to a word from the wise,
I want to hear from someone who doesn’t lie.
I’m looking forward to a feeling of hope,
I’m looking forward to knowing that I can cope,
I’m looking forward to a past left behind,
I’m looking forward and not changing my mind,
I’m looking forward and I’m not looking back,
I’m looking forward, I’m looking forward.
I’m looking forward to Springtime,
I’m looking forward to sunshine.
