Description
This little folksy waltz can have a lot of contexts to it I suppose. May be a bit dramatic. People say "Tell us a story, Uncle Daibhre" (that's pronounced "Daver") all the time. So I turned it back on the audience, I guess. But I like stories to be told to me, too!

Lyrics
Tell Me A Story
Tell me a story, take me away
Tell me a tale that words cannot convey
Tell me a story, weave me a dream
Some simple fable or myst’ry extreme
Tell me a story, fiction or truth
A tale of the ages or innocent youth
Tell me a story of lovers and friends
Right from the beginning... let’s see how it ends
Tell me a story of heaven and hell
And then tell me how you could know it so well
Tell me a story of vic’try and death
Shout some of it loudly, some under your breath
Tell me a story of wheat and of chaff
It might make me cry, or it might make me laugh
Tell me a story, and then when you’re thru
(You’ll know) more about me, I’ll know more about you
Tell me a story for better or worse
Mundane or mythic, in prose or in verse
Tell me a story - a legend or song
Let me inside it and lead me along
Tell me a story of heroes and foes
A tale of adventure - you know how it goes
Tell me a story, take me away
And lull me to sleep at the end of the day
Tell me a story, take me away
Tell me a tale that words cannot convey
Tell me a story, weave me a dream
Some simple fable or myst’ry extreme
Tell me a story, fiction or truth
A tale of the ages or innocent youth
Tell me a story of lovers and friends
Right from the beginning... let’s see how it ends
Tell me a story of heaven and hell
And then tell me how you could know it so well
Tell me a story of vic’try and death
Shout some of it loudly, some under your breath
Tell me a story of wheat and of chaff
It might make me cry, or it might make me laugh
Tell me a story, and then when you’re thru
(You’ll know) more about me, I’ll know more about you
Tell me a story for better or worse
Mundane or mythic, in prose or in verse
Tell me a story - a legend or song
Let me inside it and lead me along
Tell me a story of heroes and foes
A tale of adventure - you know how it goes
Tell me a story, take me away
And lull me to sleep at the end of the day

Since you'd naturally assume you, the singer, is the one telling the story, this feels very original! The harmonies are really nice and understated as well; your vocal phrasing is emotive and musical too. (I assume you recorded this without a click, right? I've never managed to get this human a feel with a click enabled...) Thanks for posting!
