about

Chris Conway's first digital single is a song written and released to celebrate his 30 years in music.

He became a professional musician in July 1989 and has since released 140 albums in his own name, or in bands or equal collaborations, and released 184 of his own songs.

This bossa song was also inspired by his friend, the Brazilian jazz diva Ithamara Koorax, who also celebrates a 30 year music career this year.

lyrics

So Many Years - ©2019 Chris Conway,
So many years have gone.
I’ve been singing my heart out so long.
I had nothing better to do,
It’s true.

There were low notes, and high notes,
Almost touching the sky notes.
Through good times, and sad times
And whole world gone mad times.

Time flies past,
It all goes so fast,
So I’m glad to be here with you.

So many years of smiles.
I sang across so many miles.
There is nothing better to do,
It’s true.
I remember the players, the writers,
The lost friends, the all-nighters.
All the faces and places,
And crazy rat races.

Time flies past,
It all goes so fast,
So I’m glad to be here with you.

(bridge)
There were dark days along this road,
Some days I had to shelter from the cold.
But if knew it would turn out this way,
I would not change a single day,
So come what may,
I’m here to stay.
I'm not running away anymore.

So many years, my friends,
But this is not nearly the end.
I’ve still got nothing better to do,
Than sing my heart out for you,
That’s true.
So thank you, all of you,
Thank you, thank you.
