Dont Throw This Dream Away: Original song by David Leggett

LiliAna(Ima2130) fans, please note: This is an 'answer' to her fantastic song, "Want You", written more or less from the song subject's perspective. I am totally blown away by LiliAna's talent. Check her out, you will be too.
And thanks again, everybody, for listening to my songs. That means a lot to me.

Don't Throw This Dream Away
(Copyright 2008 by David Leggett)

You told me that it's over
There's nothing I can do
We've got to go our separate ways
Because our love is through
Please think about the life we've made
That we built up, day by day
Don't break my heart
Don't throw this dream away

Don't throw this dream away
We built for oh so long
Please help me fix the ways you say
Our loving has gone wrong
If you're waiting for another try
Don't wait a single day
Let's work it out
Don't throw this dream away

I thought I wanted someone new
But every road leads back to you
I'm tired of all these lands afar
I wanna be back where you are

I know that things are different
We've drifted far apart
But can you really say "goodbye"
And mean it in your heart?
We can call it quits, just give up now
Is that the price you wanna' pay?
Darling, please
Don't throw this dream away

Don't throw this dream away
We built for oh so long
Please help me fix the ways you say
Our loving has gone wrong
If you're waiting for another try
Don't wait a single day
Let's work it out
Don't throw this dream away
If you're waiting for another try
Don't wait a single day
Let's work it out
Don't throw this dream away

You know, I guess that it's the years of Holly influence on me, but I always appreciated how simple, catchy, and direct his songs were. You wanna know an example? Tell me how. Simple, yet simply brilliant. Buddy knew how to get the point across. I'm not saying that I do on that level, but I do try. Thank you for your thoughtful critique. I love comments like yours!

Honestly, the solo break was there because I could just hear it there in my ear. Like the song needed it. That's what I go by.

Wonderful song and performance.... Happy 2009!

[westpoint64]

And a happy '09 to you. I try to create and present songs that are worth peoples' trouble to view and hopefully they turn out that way. In case you haven't heard the song that this one's an answer to (Ima2130's 'Want You'), you really oughtta check it out. Both the song and performance of that one are incredible! LiliAna is awesome.

Honestly, I can't remember if I've already replied to you on this but thank you!! LiliAna's tune was so brilliant and heart-busting that I could just feel an answer song coming the minute her gorgeous tune hit me...

And you're a songwriter, too, you know how it is. Songs won't leave you alone until you let them out and give them life.

I am so glad and pleased at the response I've gotten from this tune. I really had no idea that people would be so fond of it! (lol)

[RockinVideosRSweet]

pretty good tune.

you could add this to those online video contests like yobi sing

[westpoint64]

Really? Wow, everybody seems really impressed by this song, and I just feel grateful to hear it. Thank you for the yobi sing suggestion. I feel truly honored by that.

Very catchy melody, simple and direct, the way all great songs are. Your lead work is so spontaneous, im really impressed.

[westpoint64]

I am constantly surprised at the response I've gotten on this particular song. It came to me so quickly!- right after hearing LiliAna's song- and I would've liked to have done a better vocal on it, but I wanted to go on and get it out there before I messed around and lost/forgot something. I can't remember stuff worth a flip!

I am honored that you would mention that about your brother, though. I feel truly honored when people find my song material to be real-life useful. Thank you so much.

This would have been a great one for my brother......divorced after 20 years.
