Collette Savard: Music

Pick Me Up

(Collette Savard)
words and music © 2007 Collette Savard Cocosongs/SOCAN
This is one of my earliest dulcimer songs. I wrote it while John was away for a week. Yes I am pathetic!
Pick Me Up


How did I sink to the bottom again?
When everything was going so well
Trying to figure out where I fit in
Trying to get out of this hell
But I can see the light
Shining at the end
As long as when I fall I know
You’ll pick me up again

I’m trying hard to keep things light
Not to be too serious
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I wake up delirious
But you are shining bright
When darkness is at hand
I may spiral down
But it is in your arms I land

You’re far away tonight
I need you here so damn bad
Remember when my love
You and me was all we had
Now our lives are so complicated
I’m so glad we made it

I’m all right
I’m OK
As long as when I fall
You’ll pick me up again
