Questions - smircOpus original

I wrote this song a long time ago. I was encouraged to upload originals by Adellethegreat, who uploads her originals.

I met you when I worked at 7-Eleven
It was a cold January night
You were there to see someone else
And I was coming in to work all night

You talked to him and didn't notice me
So I turned the radio to a country station
I didn't know that when I did that
It would be our first connection

But you looked up at me and smiled
And my heart began to rise
I knew I had to find out
Who lived behind those big brown eyes


Chorus:
Did you love me and wanna settle down?
Or did you only wanna burn another lonely night down?
I knew you wanted kids, but did you want 'em with me?
You wouldn't tell me 'cause I'd told you I had to be free


We went for walks on those cold winter nights
And I looked at you under the street lights
We talked about what we wanted out of life
And I told you I didn't want a wife

I told you I needed space
To forget the one I was leaving
Though she wasn't the one for me
I couldn't take the grieving

So you became the girl that I wanted
You gave me nothing but your time
I didn't know how fast and hard I'd fall
I thought about you all the time

Chorus:

Thank you. That means a lot. Someday I will.

However, while you are waiting for me to do that, you should really check out Adellethegreat's originals. She is a true inspiration to me.

Nice work! Might be time to dust off those old notebooks and unearth some other gems!

[smircOpus]

Thank you! That means a lot. I have been toying with dusting off the old notebooks. We'll say. Thanks for watching.

Hey, Izzy! Great song!

Can you post the lyrics in the sidebar? (My hearing is getting bad and sometimes I can't catch words.)

[smircOpus]

Thank you so much. Coming from you, who makes such beautiful music himself, that's a true compliment.

The lyrics are now in the sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Really great - "Or did you only wanna burn another lonely night down" is one heck of a turn of phrase...

Loved it.
