About the song

Debra and I were setting up for a gig out in Harrisburg, PA. Happened that it was a Lyra Project Sunday Morning with us gig at a church. Setting up is a lot of work, the hauling, hooking up and testing of the equipment. When our auditorium rehearsal was over, she was just sitting there in the church pew and I was inspired in that moment! Later that night we went to our guest home. Good thing I had my video cam to record, because the song just came out - pretty much as you'll hear it in the player or CD. GITP was actually written in a packed cat pee pee laden basement near the gig site. It really did smell in that basement, but I did not intend the sound a like word "Pew" to mean stink in the song. We joked about that later!

Lyrics

Song Title: Girl in the Pew Words Rick Denzien & Debra Lee Music by: Rick Denzien My girl in the pew - doesn’t know what to do She looks so lost sometimes - Got a good pretty smile Un-deniable style - I want to talk with her for a while Pre Chorus: And totally leave this place behind Lay on the deck drift the river of time With nothing to do but think on life Toss out my line for dinner Chorus: And I Love You – could we survive? And I Love You – could we stay alive? Talk all about love - Watch the skies up above Dream of your touch many a time - In the middle of this You’re the one who I kiss - fooling around a minute of bliss Do ya ever think of me? Bridge: Down the street, we can go Well I lift my eyes to see, the girl I’d love know Pre Chorus: And totally leave this place behind Toss out my line for dinner And I Love You - Could we survive? backing: Is it too late? And I Love You - Can we survive? Can we survive? Can we survive? Hope we survive backing: to pray? Can we survive? Hope we survive Can we thrive? My girl in the pew – finally knows what to do We found our love in time © MMII to date, Slot 1 Entertainment, Inc., (ASCAP) all rights reserved.
