The Thessaloniki Waterfront. Lovely!
Honey Bear
Giselle and I spent three months in early 2017 in Thessaloniki, Greece partly to get to know each other better and better. While we were there, Giselle went to school at the University to study Greek. I bought a guitar locally and tried in vain to finger pick. The closest I got was this. I wrote it while we were there and recorded it when I got back to the USA that spring. Our time there was wonderful and never to be forgotten.
Honey Bear
Verse intro
C Am
I drift into your smiling eyes
Em Dm
Lifted past all earth-bound ties
F F F6 F G G7 G6 C
Like every day, I’m carried away - free of my mind ^
I smile when you cross a room
On your way to reach the moon
I know that you will fly today – like every time
F Em Am
Honey Bear, could I love you more than I do?
Dm F F6 F G
Yes I will. This love is true.
G7 G6 C
Such simple words, “I love you” ^
My love for you will grow and grow
Like yesterday, and every tomorrow
You are deep inside me, more than you know
I see you turn another page
Of a book you’re in from another age
Travel all you want my love while you are mine. ^
Your mind wanders far and wide
Curiosity lets nothing hide
And still your heart has never left me – far behind
Chorus
End
Extra Verse not in the song
Honey Bear, you’re an amazing lady
Who smiles because I call you baby
I want to answer all your prayers – as if they are mine.
