'Babe'

marcus77

'Babe' plays on the radio,
Flashbacks in my mind.
To you and a time,
In another lifetime.

We were happy back then,
A love like no other,
And we thought that love,
Would keep us together.

What was it that happened,
And destroyed all we had?
Was it just one thing,
Or many things gone bad?

I've ask myself that question,
But I have stayed too long.
I need to stop letting the past,
Keep me from carrying on.

I thank you for the past,
And live in the present,
Plan for the future,
Know that I can make it.

And the next time I hear,
The song we shared,
I will remember you fondly,
And how we both cared.

And I will know that,
With the one I love today.
I can make more memories,
And even a future someday.

Okay, here it is in song form, let know what you think:

Flashbacks in my mind.

A love like no other,
And we thought that love,
Would keep us together.

[chorus]
Debbie,
I'm sorry things couldn't work out.
Debbie,
But isn't change what life's all about.
Debbie,
You're the lost love in my past,
Debbie,
But I've realized...moving on is best.
[end chorus]

[breakdown]
We've loved,
We've faught,
And for neither I am sorry.
We can't go back,
On this one-way track.
We've made our mistakes,
And taken what came after,
But it's time... to close this chapter.
[end breakdown]

And I will know that,
With the one I love today.
I can make more memories,
And even a future someday

And I have moved on...

Hmm, good point. I could change "Debbie" to "My angel" or something else, but I can't think of what. Any suggestions?

Grizelda.

So you obviously have no hard feelings towards this girl. See, me personally would use Angel of Death...but thats just me. How bout Sweetie, Baby, My angel, precious, My girl, Shorty, Gorgeous.....or you could alternate between 2 of them.???

Grizelda....good one fins...haha

marcus77

I just got an idea. How about no name at all? Just replace the name with "Ooooo" and "Ohh" and such like this:

Ooooo,
I'm sorry things couldn't work out.
Ohhh,
But isn't change what life's all about.
Still...,
You're the lost love in my past,
But...,
But I've realized...moving on is best.

Interesting Idea....but I don't think I has quite the same affect
