William Prince - 'What You Had In Mind' Tara Oram Top 5 Song!

Another submission to the Tara Oram song contest.

I wrote this song in homage to my parents, but the best part is how it fits with everyone. When we're young and in love it's really easy to picture forever and promise a lot of things, so I wrote a song from the stand point of a woman asking her husband years after they've been together if their life has turned out the way he thought it would.

William Prince - 'What You Had In Mind'

[Verse 1]

110 down the interstate, a young girl who could hardly wait to be his wife
No bells, no honeymoon, just the thought of me and you for the rest of our life
Two pay days and the perfect ring, a little church, it was everything we dreamed of

And you wouldn't take no as an answer from me
When I look back now how crazy were we?
And now that we're here baby all I have to say

[Chorus]

Is this what you asked for?
Is this what you dreamed of?
Is this where you saw yourself all those years down the line?
Is this the tomorrow you said would be mine?
And when you pictured forever
Is this what you had in mind?

[Verse 2]

The Porsche went first for a minivan; the trailer got sold for a piece of land and this handyman's dream

A lot less thrills, and nights on the town, two little pieces of you around saying "Daddy come see"

And you kept that old job while you went to school
Every night just to keep us all under one roof
And now that we're here baby all I have to say

[turn around]

Late at night while we're falling asleep
You move a little closer and whisper to me
Everything that I need to hear

[Outro Chorus]

You're all that I asked for
You're all that I dreamed of
Not a day goes by with you I'd trade for the world
When we wake up tomorrow you'll still be mine
I'll be with you forever
Is this what you had in mind?
