A cross between a jazz standard and a country ballad.

Written, Performed, and recorded by: Tom O'Brien

Another love song inspired by my beautiful wife. I started out with the idea od how being around her is like being high.

Time stands still
When I'm with you
Colors turn
A brighter hue
Funny how my cares just cease
Loving you is my release
Funny how you make me feel
So real

Love begins
When I'm with you
Never ends
Our whole life through
Funny how we used to say
That we'd never see the day
Funny how that day is here
My dear

Funny how our hearts have grown together
Funny how the days turn into years
Funny how we like inclement weather
When raindrops fall like music to our ears

In our way
We'll always be
One of life's
Great mysteries
How a love can be so true
How a one is shared by two
Funny how I always knew
With you x

I have just finished my day and night very early this morning listening to the most beautiful love song that I've heard in a long, long time. Tom, I was completely mesmerized and immersed in every word, every nuance and every note of your amazing song, and your vocals, Tom, are endearingly top of the class. If I could put words like that into a song like that, and sing it even close to that, I would write and sing it in a heartbeat about my anchor in life, my dear wife of 56 years. "Funny How" could easily be every love theme in every movie, and it would touch every heart watching and listening as it has touched mine deeply. Simply beautiful in every respect, my friend, simply beautiful ... Neil

Tom has a lot of songs on this station and for a good reason. He has mastered the art of the great love song. He employs the perfect hybrid of intelligence and emotion when it comes to songwriting and he never afraid of experimentation.
