SMALLEST SIGN
Intro
I saw you comin’ a mile away
You never even looked at me
When you passed you took my smile away
But I knew where I wanted to be
I told myself I didn’t care
You didn’t really hurt my pride
I knew I’d follow you anywhere
Here or there, any day, any time
So don’t go (don’t go) stop and talk for a minute
Let your eyes rest upon mine
I know (I know) I would love to begin it
All I need is the smallest sign
The smallest sign
You act like a person with purpose
Like a person with mountains to climb
I’m not worried, not even nervous
‘Cause you know I got nothin’ but time
I’m thinkin’ you might care for me
I know that I care about you
Don’t know where it takes us where it leads
But I know what I’m planning to do
So don’t go (don’t go) stop and talk for a minute
Let your eyes rest upon mine
I know (I know) I would love to begin it
All I need is the smallest sign
The smallest sign

I love the sound and style. Though it’s stretching to be country, it sounds more like a good, driving soul song to me, in the vein of Solomon Burke and Otis Redding. I say this especially because of how you want the repeated part of the chorus - a perfect place for the girl singers to back you up; the hints of bluesiness in your vocal timbre, phrasing and rhythm; and the great blues guitar sound you’re getting from what I bet is a Telecaster.
The cut is so well arranged, recorded, and written, that I would say it’s ready to pitch to A&R people at Adult Contemporary and R&B/Soul record labels. Good Luck.
