FOUR VERSES AND A CHORUS

I was re-watching a movie on the boob tube last night about a country music star---I began thinking---"How hard could it be to write the lyrics to a country song" SO here's my 10 minute effort-

It started as a dream

We were quite the team

It was us together in the big old world

He way my boy & I was his girl

Chorus

He knocked me down but you picked me up

It didn't really matter that I shed a tear

They all knocked me down but you picked me up

You are the one who is faithfully here

We rolled along and then he found You

I liked what he had and wanted it too

It was You-only You that was our hope

All Because of You we could finally cope

Repeat Chorus

The years passed by and he looked away

I found myself begging him please to stay

Then he was gone and I was left alone

For all the wrong reasons, he was gone

Repeat Chorus

Now I am left with no one near

It's only me and the future I fear

Through it all You've always been here

You are the one that will always be near.

Repeat Chorus

NOW--give me a break-it's a 10 minute effort on a scrap of paper, BUT I'm not holding my breath waiting for Nashville to call.
