Before We Could Start

Well she's found herself a new love
And I tell myself she's probably better off
And maybe this time she has found the one
To have that something I guess I did not

They look so happy like a picture from a book
She give to him what I remember I mistook
As something more than just the bait upon her hook

Well maybe I should say I'm sorry
I didn't see what she was after for before
And maybe I don't need to worry
Because she's found herself a new place to explore

I guess that I should just be shinning like the sun
And maybe I should say I've finally overcome
This love I felt for her I ought to say is gone

But sometimes I wish they'd be breaking up
To give us a chance to be making up
And maybe at last we could find the love
That we had lost before we could start

Well I see her now with someone
But I know her style, it won't last long
Before she's tired and wants to get around
Like something's lost if you should know the one you love

You say that I'm a fool to want her back again
And you don't know why I should go back where I've been
It's just this love I feel for her, it never ends

And sometimes I wish they'd be breaking up
To give us a chance to be making up
And maybe at last we could find the love
That we had lost before we could start

And sometimes I wish they'd be breaking up
To give us a chance to be making up

 

NOTES:

This was my first session in a recording studio.   It was recorded along with "The Wedding Song"  Sometimes a song comes out exactly like you "heard" it in your head. "The Wedding Song" was like that.   THIS song however was exactly the opposite.  The arrangement wasn't anything like the song in my head.   Although I never recorded it again, I think it is a much better song than what I recorded here.
