Peter is a dear friend and my mentor as a musician and performer. I don’t know when he wrote this song, but it’s a dandy.
Brilliant Love Affair
Peter K. Yeates
G F# C
This might have been a brilliant love affair
Am D G
I only wish that you would have been there
F# C Am
I thought that you had seen – well, you know what I mean
D D7 G
What might have been a brilliant love affair
This could have been a mighty escapade
But of mice and men, the plans that are best laid
They sometimes go askew – and I’ll leave the blame on you
This might have been a brilliant love affair
C G
How was I to know you dished me out
C Am D D7
And how were you to know what I’m about
G F# C Am
You didn’t take the time to tell me you’re not mine
D D7 G
Or this might have been a brilliant love affair
C G
When will I ever get over you?
C Am D D7
It’s going to take another day or two
G F# C Am
This might have been a first; but you made it the worst
D D7 C Cmaj7
This might have been a brilliant – one in a bazillion
Am D D7 G
This might have been a brilliant love affair |
