My little ditty

[Deleted]

It's not quite a cover song, nor is it a very original composition. 
It is my little thank you to Yusuf for sharing his time and talents with us during his most recent Peace Train, Late Again tour.
These are just the lyrics; I think you can come up with a melody to sing along with it:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Yusuf /Cat Stevens, you play the guitar still
I'll see you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

Dear Yusuf/Cat Stevens, why does it please me so?
That your heart seems so peaceful
What is it that you know, what is it that you know?

Dear Yusuf/Cat Stevens, you play your guitar still
I'll hear you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

Dear Yusuf/Cat Stevens, you sang so sweet tonight
Your melodies rang out
Your lyrics made me cry, your lyrics made me cry.

Dear Yusuf/Cat Stevens, you played your guitar well
I'll miss you tomorrow
But I shall wish you well, yes I shall wish you well.

La-la-la-la-lala, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-laa, la-la-la-la-lala, la-la-la-la-lala...

Dear Yusuf/Cat Stevens, I listen to you still
The peace train I'll glide on
It's sounding louder still, it's sounding louder still.

We cherished your music, even when you said goodbye
It always is with you
His gift you can't deny, His gift you can't deny.

We love you dear Yusuf, so glad you said hello
We'll always to be with you
And this we hope you know, and this we hope you know.

Dear t4t,
Tiffany calling! Just read your poem you wrote about our dearly beloved Yusuf, what beautiful words adapted from his classic pop hit song "Lady D'Arbanville" from 1970, and thought the lyrics read true. His music is uplifting,his voice is sweet, and welcoming to all us fans whocherrished him. Despite his convert to religion, which was a long one, his son brought that guitar back into his life for the third time in a row. Picking it up, and playing the chords on it, was a floodgate, with similar new songs of life, and a new album calle An Other Cup, made many fans feel proud. we all glad he's back!

Listen out for my cover songs. They won't be very long.

Peace, Tiffany
