Just because.
It works as a  mic test as well as giving me opportunity to share my guilty pleasure.
I can't sing well at all but I just want to share the feeling that I get when I sing my favourite songs.

You know the feeling, right? I might give it another try later and I hope it will get better.

If my cover is too much for you, here's the original to help you understand why I still have this song at the back of my mind, and still in my active playlist.

Such a beautiful song with perfect pairing of the melodic strumming and her breathy soft voice.
I can only pay homage as best as I could on how she sings the song ... when I have my own guitar, I will try to redo the cover to match her!

Lyrics

Maybe I could be a picture frame round the faces you like

or a kettle by the fire

In the morning when you need something to be warm in your hands

I could be your old worn gloves

If I could be your biggest mistake

the one that you hate

would it mean I'd get a minute of your time

cause the truth is I'd be anything for you

if you'd be mine

Maybe I could be your favourite colour on faded brick walls

or hanging in a gallery 

like a portrait of someone you'd like to picture at home

waiting for you all alone

If I could be your biggest mistake

the one that you hate

would it mean I'd get a minute of your time

cause the truth is I'd be anything for you

if you'd be mine

if you'd be mine

all mine ...

P.S. That microphone though ... she deserves the best to catch that beautiful voice!
