Song

This is one I wrote a little while ago and it was turned into a song called "For a Moment". You can hear it on my website if you are interested...it is probably the slowest song I have ever wrote.

I wonder what would of happened if you took the time
thought about it as you opened the blinds
would you still have turned away and left behind
what we were
nothing more than a dream in my mind
and I know its easier this way
I know that what we are
another lie
that you don't have to show me
that you just need to try to hold on
when I turn to leave I ask myself
and I think...

Its only for a moment I'll let you believe i'm looking back
My life's not what you need
Its only in that moment that I'm forced to see
you always find a place to hide right in front of me

I still think about it all the time
another one lost is another one gone who crossed the line
and now I'm standing on the other side
of a path I knew, a path I took too many times...
for the times we lived, the times we spent
it's killing me inside to try and forget
for the times we touched, the times we felt
you counted all the cards now I've been dealt
and its only in that moment that I'm forced to see
you always find a place to hide right in front of me

Its only for a moment I'll let you believe i'm looking back
My life's not what you need
Its only in that moment that I'm forced to see
you always find a place to hide right in front of me
Its only for a moment I'll let you believe i'm looking back
My life's not what you need
Its only in that moment that I'm forced to see
you always find a place to hide right in front of me
Only with our eyes closed can we truly see

    Goulet...It just turned out that way. But when I sung it I didn't find that I noticed it that much because of the way I kinda "broke it up"...if that makes sense. I know its not perfect by any stretch but its what came out on paper...and I felt it was more important to convey the emotions I was feeling than anything else at the time.

    Not true. You always brighten this m-board with your poems.

    awww shucks. i try to do my part now and then.

    you're doing a damn fine job of brightening things up with your own posts. :)

    hope you don't mind that i listened to all three.

    i'm kinda more into singer/songwriter stuff but these are really good songs. the music, production quality and vocals are really strong as well as the lyrics of course. i can't explain beyond telling what my impulse is but 'your own world' i think has the best balance of all elements and i like it the most. the website is pretty cool too.

    I like this song. "and now I'm standing on the other side
    of a path I knew, a path I took too many times". Very thought provoking. The chorus reads strong. I'll be sure to check out your site.
