Hey Dusty, that was just great really loved it.
Thanks very much
Show music came from all your music right your show promises promises promises.
Thanks, Dusty
You happen to remember when we first met
Dusty just had a whole string of hit records and she was looking for a new song to record a
Lot of people that had sent you songs.
Oh, yeah, so many people sent me songs
They were all very nice songs, but I just couldn't seem to find the right song to record at that time
So I thought well
I wonder if I'd go off to America and see what we had and that's what I did
And the only thing was I only had one day off to do it
You flew over to New York a seven-hour trip
You took a cab through the traffic from the airport to Midtown Manhattan a nine-hour trip
[G] Showed you a few songs and you found your next hit, right?
[F] [G] Actually, we looked through dozens of songs, but none of them were quite right for Dusty but six months later
I did write a song for you didn't I?
[N] It was called wishing and hoping and you loved it and you knew right away.
It was gonna be a big hit, right?
We're [G]
gonna sing it now, right?
wrong
Again you're gonna sing I'm gonna sing
Yeah, I'm gonna start it
The
[Ab]
chair is still [Bbm] a chair
Even when there's no [Cm] one sitting there
[Ab]
[Fm] Or but a chair [C] is not a house
[Fm] house is [Ebm] not a home
[Ab]
[Db] When there's no one there
To [Bbm] hold it tight and no one [Db] there [Cm] you [Db] can kiss
[Ab] Now
[Eb] and then [Db] I [Cm] call your [Fm] name
[Ab] Suddenly your [Bm] face appears
[Dm] [Eb] But [Dm] it's all a [Bb] [Eb] crazy game
[Dm] When it [Gm] ends [Bbm] it is [G] in tears
