This is the first song I've ever written. You won't believe how it came to me. I dreamed it! Check this out. I've been off all summer and since I'm learning to play the piano, I've watched a ton of Elvis movies during my leisure time. His songs are so easy to play and sing. Anyway, In this Elvis movie that I dreamed up which he actually never made and there never was such a movie or song.....
Elvis fell madly in love with a woman (imagine that) but in this imaginary movie in my dream, on a spur of the moment thing, they ran off to ......Augusta, GA and got married. Get this picture. He's happier than he's ever been in his whole life blah blah with his new bride but a week or so into the honeymoon, he comes home from a visit to the gym and finds a note from his wife saying she's sorry but she's leaving him. No other explanation is given, just bye bye.
After endless efforts looking for his vanished bride, one night he's sitting on the River Walk, remembering the moments he's spent with her there and he sings this song, "To Have and Hold". That's how it came to me and that's how I wrote it. Is that wild or what? I just wish Elvis could have sang it instead of me. LOL
Thanks for the positive comments!
