Lyrics

Deal with the Devil
©JILL EDNA MAE THOMAS

Verse 1
There are still 10 million things I want to say,
And all those stupid, stupid quarrels over nothing really much,
How they've become so forgettable, turned to ash and dust.
But I yearn to have those moments, Go back in time, exchange
Those stupid, stupid quarrels for a sweet, sweet embrace

Chorus
I'm lonely without you
Even in a crowded room,
Your clothes still hang in my wardrobe,
I smell the sweet perfume...
Of you,
Of you.

Verse 2
And your mother asked me gently,
To please, please change my answer phone,
Cos she said, the sound of your sweet,s weet voice smiling 'Hi there hello',
Is just too much for her to bare, she said it's been a year,
And she said, she can't move on, accept that you're not here.

Chorus
I'm lonely without you
Even in a crowded room,
Your clothes still hang in my wardrobe
I smell the sweet perfume...
Of you,
Of you.




Verse 3
I know how special and lucky we were, but,
It doesn't really help at all, my life is now so quiet and so very small
Without you...... without your beautiful mind and sweet, sweet lips,
Your kind and thoughtful way,
And I would have done a deal with the devil if it would have made you stay

Chorus
And I'm lonely without you
Even in a crowded room
Your clothes still hang in my wardrobe
I can smell the sweet perfume...
Of you, of you.

Outro
Of you
Of you
Of you

Very professional. The voice is perfectly pitched, very sensitive, heartfelt and angelic. The singer's performance is admirable. There are vibrant emotional glimmer in the melody, which offers exquisite moments, helped by some clever chord and texture played by the piano.

ohhh Nice Strong clear vocal trained voice and nice keys!

Your vocal is very pure sounding in my ears...very clear your high note is breath taking, reverb is just right gives your voice an etherial quality, I really liked this some of the best I have heard....I hope you do well with this.

I love everything about this.. The voice is fantastic. The Piano is well done and sounds beautiful. Definitely see this on the radio or used in media for sure. Great job.

a lovely ballad that would be perfect for a musical . it has a very theatrical style with the vocal and melody. the sparse music backing suits the song perfectly. nice piano and great vocals . sad and soothing track needs to be heard on a stage
