"Alleluia ...
... (How You Saved Me From Myself)"
Words & Music By Tom Tognaci

I'm surely not the best of men; I stumble and I fall
Try as I may, I find myself at the foot of some brick wall
It's something I can't get over; in my nature, I guess
Or maybe it's something deeper, keeping me from doing my best
Alleluia... the sun began to shine
Alleluia... when your heart found mine
I'm a sinner, a tramp, and full of pride
But you pulled me over... over that wall to the other side
Alleluia, Alleluia, you saved me from myself
Alleluia, Alleluia, how you saved me from myself
Since then, I've walked that crooked line much straighter than before
But I have to say, the narrow path is a balancing act, for sure
Precariously, I teeter; some habits are hard to break
I know you've had cause to leave me if it weren't for Heaven's sake
Alleluia... oh, how the sun does shine
Alleluia... keeping your heart close to mine
Lost and wandering, but never on my own
How you steered me over that winding road I had always known
Alleluia, Alleluia, you saved me from myself
Alleluia, Alleluia, how you saved me from myself
How you saved me from myself
I already commented on the lyrics over on the lyrics forum, but I just wanted to say your voice is really lovely! You've definitely got a singing and playing style that suit your material.
What a lovely tribute to your wife. I don't think I've heard a harmonica (that is a harmonica, right?) in your work before. Nice touch.

Hi Vicki.. Thanks for listening and commenting. I have quite a few songs with a harmonica. Thanks again!

You still sound good my friend I think a bass sound at the beginning to get your vocal on that flow thank you for sharing

Hey thanks... I need to re-sing this one. I appreciate the kind words, however!
You always manage to carry your songs forward with such a personal and intimate style. I love the simplicity of the arrangement, that guitar that leads us by the hand through your emotions.
