'Loving You' - released by Stoned Records on 9th August 2024 www.jossstone.com
Joss says: This was a song I wrote when Cody and I had just started dating. I thought our nights round the fire were magical and wanted to write a song about those evenings that are so enjoyable they can run into the next day without anyone noticing. I am a night owl by nature and he is an early bird so I am often trying to convince him to stay up till the early hours of the morning with me. The song talks about coming up with things to say to make him stay. Funny thing is Cody did stay, he just fell asleep! So I went upstairs and wrote this song”.

Loving You
Sun was shining Where did you go? I’ve been looking around checking for you Well The kettles brewing On the flicker show I lit a fire for you babe So come back Won’t you come back to me We got a chance to be More than just friends If you’d notice me Won’t you come back to me I’m the girl of your dreams I sure try to be I’ve been loving you oh Oh my days Oh my days I’ve been loving you oh Please don’t keep your distance There’ll be no resistance from me Do you care to know I’m free for the taking I feel your eyes are tired The night is getting heavy But the morning’s weak Is not bright yet baby There’s still time left maybe For you to hold me closely Have you got somewhere to be? Come back Won’t you come back to me We got a chance to be More than just friends If you’d notice me Won’t you come back to me I’m the girl of your dreams I sure try to be (I’d be) Coz I’d be loving you oh I’d love you all day Thinking of things to say to you I want to make you stay I’ve been making things up It’s not my way Well how can I get you to stay? I want you babe When I’m loving you loving you all Oh my days When i’m loving you Oh my days Oh my days (It’s not bright yet baby) I’m loving you babe (There’s still time left maybe) I’m loving you babe (For you to hold me closely) Is not bright yet baby There’s still time left maybe For you to hold me closely Have you got somewhere to be?
