about

This is a love song for my wife, Christa. The first song I wrote after I met her was called In The Morning. One of her dreams ended up in that one. With that song I think I finally learned how to write honestly about difficult things without taking just my own side, for the duration of the song at least. With Just For You, I found some words about love that I think are as close to having no artifice as I can get, and really are simply about her.

lyrics

JUST FOR YOU LYRICS

Just for you
I’ll now make it turn to spring
Just for you
I‘ll make sure time don’t mean a thing
Just for you
I’ll always try to sing
Just for you
Darlin’ just for you

With every breath I take
Somehow I see your face
When I’m asleep or when I am awake
Right here or some other place

We could endure a thousand years
Shed an ocean full of tears
Learn how our hearts can break
Just for you

Chorus

If it can all makes sense
It’s only from lovin’ hard
Let there be no pretence
We are all just a little scarred

We could encourage all of our fears
Or take any old way outta here
Things I’m happy to disregard
Just for you

Chorus

I’m gonna find a way
You can leave it all up to me
And if we go astray
Or eat the fruit of a poison tree

No matter what may be in decline
Or how far we may fall behind
I will go steal the master key
Just for you
