"
Lyric by kosborne321:
"I've learned what true love is/it's more than bliss"

Lyric by kosborne321:
"I have big brain farts/when we have these fights/please give me a fresh start"
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"just grabbing this one line here Kevin...
"Seeing through a different sight"
Try:
You see me through a different light
But I'm never gonna change your mind
and borrowing from Gailla for the front part:
I'm jumping up and down
Banging on the tables
Shout real loud
And maybe you'll find
Somehow you can
see me in a different light
But I’m never gonna change your mind.
"
Lyric by kosborne321:
"Could send down moonbeams/give them all to you Let their glow light you up inside We disagree/Seeing through a different sight But I’m never gonna change your mind"

Lyric by kosborne321:
"I could change the way I speak/ Think before everything I’d say/Change the way I look/ Be the man you want me to be/Baby, I could be that kind/ But I’m never gonna change your mind"
Lyric by kosborne321:
"Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/you need to have it all your way"
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"Hi Kevin! Thanks for going with that crazy leap of faith kind of line...it may not be the final one but some amazing creative stuff flies through when we're willing to open up to that flow.
This beginning part of the song for me is always "squishy" and yes when it's finished it needs to be clear. But it can be clear and whacky and we can do things in writing that step outside "real life" as long as it's conversational and communicates clearly. You can have a chimp drive you to the movies as long as we understand what's being communicated.
:) "
Lyric by kosborne321:
"Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/be like tellin' a chimp it will like shrimp"

Clay Mills commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"Good line but we've already used fire and summer in the line before, so we should introduce new images here."
(more)
Lyric by kosborne321:
"That fiery summer so full of spark and desire will live in my memory."
Clay Mills commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"Hey Kevin, I like the concept. But I try to avoid words or similar words that we've have already mentioned. The line before was about setting the summer on fire. So let's move on to new territory and away from firefly, etc. :)"

Lyric by kosborne321:
"Our love was like a firefly lasting two months and then it died"
Clay Mills commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"the word rewind is a good word for this song. "

My Lyrics
There's this little part/ready to ignite/Love lives in one spark
Maybe we can start/Mending hurt inside/I can see a spark/The notion…
There's this tiny part/where hope lives inside/Love lit by one spark/The notion...
There’s this little spark/filled with hope and light/that can be discharged/The notion...
There's this little spark/filled with hope and light/waiting to be discharged/The notion...
Here you can press restart/Get love to ignite/Hope lives in one spark/The notion...
Maybe we can start/to mend the hurt inside/I can see a spark/The notion...
There's this little part/that lives deep inside/Hope to heal the scars/The notion...
Could we press restart/Mend the hurt inside/Turn over the dark (Credit to Rebecca7387 for Turn over the dark)
It’s where healing starts/The soft part inside/Hope that we won’t part/The notion...
Can lose who we are/Fail to see the light/Be lost, off the mark/The notion...
You are classy, sharp/brave, true, fair and wise/kind, soft and not hard/The notion...
These inside parts are/ soft, hard, unyielding/blunt, rough, smooth and smart/The notion...
This is who you are: soft, hard, unyielding/ blunt, rough, smooth, and smart/The notion...
You shine little sparks/that are true, fair, wise/ kind, rich, soft and smart/The notion...
You have a bright star/that is brave, real, wise/fair, kind, cheerful, smart/The notion...
There are tiny sparks/that are brave, fair, wise/honest, gentle, smart/The notion...
You’re a work of art/Shine these tiny lights: kind, fair, brave, not dark/The notion...
You’re a work of art/Tiny bits that are/kind, fair, real, not dark/The notion...
You're a work of art/Little rays you shine/Kind, fair, real, not dark
Here you are not hard/Soft, bright, full of light/You're not a discard/The notion...
Could we press restart/ mend the hurt inside/Turn on light leave the dark/The notion...
You’re not a diehard/gentle, soft, contrite/You're not a discard/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Could we press restart/ Mend the hurt inside/Ignite and then start/The notion...
Could we press restart/ Mend the hurt inside/Turn from light to dark/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Could we press restart/ Mend the hurt inside/Turn over dark to light/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Could we press restart/ Mend the hurt inside/Turn on the switch, ignite/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
You’re not a diehard/gentle, soft, contrite/full of hope and light/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Could we press restart/ mend the hurt inside/work to see the light/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Here you are not hard/Soft, bright, full of light/I hope you hear this/The notion that I might/ Might just/Might be right
Inside you like art/there is dark and light/So please think about this/the notion that I might/ might just / might be right
In much works of art/there is dark and light/They have fresh insights
Seeing far apart/Never eye-to-eye/Love can still be kind
Seeing far apart/Never eye-to-eye/Love can still be kind
Seeing far apart/Never eye-to-eye/Love can spark a fire (Co-write with Rebecca 7387)
On pie a la carte/I’m dropping by/note on bag says why
When we’re apart/Fail seeing eye-to-eye/Love shows the reason why
Too many people apart/Divided insight/Not seeing the light
Show with an eye-chart/read it line by line/where you are not right
At the mini-mart/meet you eye-to-eye/my points all define
I have big brain farts/when we have these fights/please give me a fresh start
We talk all about/the world and its problems/I'm filled with doubt/hurt by our fight/Maybe we/can work on our insights/But I'm never gonna change your mind(BNC)

You always see night/I want to see the day/I see forward/You see behind/Keep a smile/Come let things be alright/But I'm never gonna change your mind
My soul it feels/like a picture fading/Dried by the sun/Burnt by the light
My soul is like/a painting fadin’ from exposure/Burnt by the light/dried by the sun/ Why can’t it end/your need for bein' right?/But I’m never gonna change your mind (BNC)
In one of my submissions I'm trying to get across the concept of the argument being stuck like they're in the DMZ, but I'm stuck on how to get this to fit into the melody. Open to having a co-writer on this one. I need help with the direction to go on this. I think it could be meaningful if I put it the right way. It's a reflection upon my time as a missionary in South Korea with the DMZ, the demilitarized zone. A humorous note: In 1995 tensions were increasing between North Korea and South Korea. I was the ony one with a shortwave radio. This was the announcement from the BBC. "Tensions increase between North and South Korea. Now to the cricket scores."
My soul is like/a painting fadin’ from exposure/Burnt by the light/dried by the sun/Why can’t we/finish what we begun?/But I'm never gonna change your mind (BNC)
You always see night/I want to see the day/I see forward/You see behind/Keep a smile/Come see things more like me/But I'm never gonna change your mind
Don’t get your point/Like I’m lost in a sea/The words you speak/tearing at me/How I pray/Maybe you’ll see the light/But I'm never gonna change your mind
Don't get your point/You’re stuck in the DMZ/The words you speak/keep you from me/You don't see/You're frowning; I'm smiling/ I'm never gonna change your mind
You’ve got no plan/You’re stuck in the DMZ/The words you speak/keep you away from me/You’re frowning and I’m smiling/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I could give you moonbeams/ Let their glow light you up/ I keep hope/alive you'll see/the whole truth/'bout our world. I still care/but I’m never gonna change your mind.
Cats don’t have drawn out fights/Hiss at one another/ They lay down/No wrong or right/They still care/Play of the healing kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Cats don't have drawn out fights/Hiss at one another/ They lay down/No wrong or right/They still care/Love of the healing kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I look at the blue sky/It shines through all the gray/Lights me up/How can we find/our clear sight? It’s in us not being blind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Fought over the world’s problems/Wonder was it worth it?/Don’t think so/Let's stop fighting/I care a lot for you/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Why are we arguing?/Hurt is etched on my soul/Tearing me/Won't stop caring/Trying a lot being kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Ihere's too many poor people/a lot of suffering/We can’t fix everything/ You and I should stay friends/caring for one another/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I could speak my piece/Try to have you agree/Tell you now/how you're not right/I care a lot for you/Let's try listening more/But I'm never gonna change your mind
I could speak of my piece/Try to have you agree/ Tell you right now/How I'm right/ But that’s a losing game/I''ll always be caring/ But I’m never gonna change your mind
I could point out the truth/ Try hard to have you see/Where I’m right/Let’s both be kind/Listen close/Let’s be much more caring/But I'm never gonna change your mind
Birds sing their morning songs/Mountains talk to the sky/Peace like them//Maybe we’d find/Hope in them/Sight of the healing kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Come and have a coffee./We’ll sit and talk a while./Laugh a lot./Watching Star Trek./Eat junk food./Gabbing about the world's issues/but I’m never gonna change your mind.
You're welcome to visit./We'll sit and talk a while/about your/issues with life/and the world/even though you think you're right/but I'm never gonna change your mind.
If I could sit with you/I’d hear all your questions/about the/world’s many issues/wrong and right./ I care for you anyways/but I’m never gonna change your mind.
If you’d listen to me/I’d hear all your questions/about the/world’s many issues/wrong and right./ I care for you anyways/but I’m never gonna change your mind
Birds sing their morning songs/Mountains talk to the sky/Peace like them//Maybe we’d find/Hope in them/Sight of the healing kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I could shoot all my truths / Try to get you to know / where you're wrong/I wouldn't shine /
I could shoot a quiver of truth/ from my bow
Get you to know/the wrong of your insight/
How would I grow/insisting on what’s right?/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I could say my peace/Try to have you agree/
Tell you right now/How you’re not right/
But that’s a losing game/Let’s have the same eyesight/
But I’m never gonna change your mind
The world suffers with hate and poverty/
Too much inequality/We can’t change everything/
You and I should stay friends/continue caring/But I’m never gonna change your mind
We argued about this world’s situation/Was it worth it?’/I don't think it was/Sorry we had this fight/We're still friends/Not about who's right/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Can’t remember what we fought about/The hurt remains
Imprinted on my soul/Why do you insist on being right?/Still care /Doing what's right/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Cats never have long fights/They hiss at one another/
They lay side by side/Forget who’s wrong or right/
Short mem'ries/Please see the light/But I’m never gonna change your mind
I look out at the clear blue sky/It shines through the grey/Lights me up inside/Torn apart by you failing to have full insight/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Trying to give you honey/You’re the buzzing bee/
This stinging fight/ is hurting me inside/
Love’s worth much more/than us both being right/
But I’m never gonna change your mind
The tides come in/They roll out
A rhythm of peace/Flowing day and night/
Why can’t we both have that inner flow?/ Why do you need to be right?/But I’m never gonna change your mind
Mountains talk to the sky/ birds sing to you and me/
Trees dance with the wind/Why can’t you and I see eye to eye?/I care even though we disagree/But I’m never gonna change your mind
This fight is exhausting me/Draining my strength/
Wearing us both down/Trying to be kind/
Why can’t we agree?/ Hoping peace we’ll find/
But I’m never gonna change your mind
Trying to give you honey/You’re the buzzing bee
This stinging fight/ is hurting me inside/
Love’s worth much more/than us both being right/
But I’m never gonna change your mind
I am from Jupiter/you are from Mars
Failing to agree/Our stars are not aligned
Both convinced we’re right/Time to let in the sun shine/But I'm never gonna change your mind
Could send down moonbeams/give them all to you
Let their glow light you up inside
We disagree/Seeing through a different sight
But I’m never gonna change your mind
If only you would see/there’s a better way
I beg you to see day/You’re so stuck in your night
I say you’re wrong/You say you’re right
But I’m never gonna change your mind
Could shift how I speak/talk much more gently/hide away the hurt/deep down inside/but this I know/love grows when you find/the joy in being kind/But I’m never gonna change your mind
This fight is exhausting me/Draining my strength
Wearing me down/Trying to be kind
Why can’t we agree? Hoping peace we’ll find
But I’m never gonna change your mind
If only you’d see/there’s a better way
I beg you to see day/You’re stuck in your night
I say you’re wrong/You say you’re right
But I’m never gonna change your mind
Could change how I speak/talk much more gently/hide away the hurt/deep down inside/but this I know/love grows when you find/the joy in being kind/But I'm never gonna change your mind

I could change the way I speak/ Think before everything I’d say/Change the way I look
Be the man you want me to be/Baby, I could be that kind
But I’m never gonna change your mind
You’re never gonna change your mind/like a chimp drivin’ the wrong way on the road
I'm never gonna change your mind/you put a wall up where there should be a door (Co-writer credit to Steve Huff for "put" and "wall up where there should be a door).
You're never gonna change your mind/like a chimp drivin' down a one-way street
I'm never gonna change your mind/like tellin' the wind it'll never blow again
I'm never gonna change your mind/like a chimp who must watch its fave TV show.
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like a chimp must watch its fave TV show
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like a chimp must see its fave TV show
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/you have a wall I can't break through (Credit to Keith Curtis for changing this wall to a wall. Thanks, Keith. Changing this to a makes it roll off the tongue much better)
Well, I'm never gonna change you're mind/like you're night and I am day
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like jam and jelly we are
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/you need to have it all your way
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/you have this wall I can't break through
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/you've put this wall up I can't break through
Well, I''m never gonna change your mind/like we're on a one-way street
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like the stars and moon don't meet
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like on your head is a one-way sign
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/like the stars can't hug the sky
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/be like tellin' a chimp it will like shrimp
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/be like tellin' the wind it will never blow again
Well, you're never gonna change your mind/ like tellin' Oscar the grouch he will smile again
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/be like gettin' a horse to agree it will never neigh again
Well, I'm never gonna change your mind/it be like gettin' your child to agree/never can have a cookie
More a man 'cause of you/nothin' I'd redo
In your mind hope you know/still love you so...
Your love made me a man/can love again
The man I wanted to be/you made of me
Hun, your love completed me/made a man of me
You taught me what true love is/and to forgive
I've learned what true love is/it's more than bliss
Now I'm a better me/my spirit's set free
Love is carin' sharin'/it's forgivin'
Love is givin'/it's forgivin'
Love is carin', givin'/it's forgivin'
I shouldn't have let you go/losin' helped me grow
Helped shape the man I would be/Healin' mem'ries
I didn't treat you right then/ helped me love again
I've loved, learned, man I see/ growin' to be
Man I was meant to be/lives on in me
There's healing in the pain/tears fall like rain
In the gray there is blue/joy that we knew
Though our love faded away/I just wanna say
In our love, we did grow/want you to know
I'd be a more caring man/be your best fan
When all's said and done/lovin' you was fun!
Love is like diamonds/shines more with time
I learned that in the end/you're my best friend
I learned in the end/you're my best friend
Loke is like diamonds/shines more with time
Taught me love's sharin'/it means carin'
I'd share more of me/true me you'd see
You gave more than bliss/showed what love is
You're my reason for livin'/'cause you're so givin'
I'd speak truth not lies/wouldn't say goodbye
I'd be a more caring guy/wouldn't say goodbye
One thing I'd change is me/better man you'd see
I would play a new song/wouldn't treat you wrong
Could say who's to blame/won't play that game
Love isn't about just takin'/it's about givin'
'cause of you I'm freer/see life clearer
Learned love is list'nin'/not just lustin'
I wouldn't change a thing/you are my everything
Now I'm a better me/my spirit feels free
Love didn't stand the test/didn't have any zest
If I did it again/I'd remember when...
You taught me love's memory/lives inside me
There ain't one regret/I'll never forget
I learned love is givin'/love is forgivin'
Taught me how to see/man I need to be
I wish I could forget/but ain't no regrets
I wouldn't change a thing/you gave me everything
Your touches live on in me/this singer's love story
I wish I could forget/but there's no regrets
Taught me how to see/the man that's me
Singin' for troops in Iraq ' cause ya taught me life is 'bout what we do for others
I'm workin' as a singer for the Peace Corps 'cause you inspired me to help others
Heard you've fallen for another man/hope he treats you well or he'll answer to me
Heard you're a singer too/Best of you shines like diamonds from the best of me
Heard you’re a singer too/Best of me shines like diamonds from the best of you
I was so lost/ didn't know who I was/'til you came into my life
That guitar you stored in my closet/still plays a sweet melody
The guitar you stored in my closet/still plays a sweet melody
You brought out the best in me/by shinin' the best that's inside you
You brought out the best me/by bringing out the best that shone from you
There's always sunshine after the rain/learnin' lessons in all the' pain
The tequila and chicken wings sure were fine/kinda repeated on me like this line
You rocked my world/turned it upside down/changed me into a better man
What my young eyes couldn't see I see now 'cause of you bein' in my life
What my young eyes couldn't see, I see now 'cause of you bein' in my life
When darkness/ like a gray could hung over me/ you helped me see the light
When darkness/ like a gray cloud hung over me/you helped me the light to see
Gave me wings to fly so high/to live my dream/help others reach theirs too
You rocked my world/turned it right upside down/changed me into a better man
I'm the man/ I am today/ 'cause I listened to/ hard things you'd say
Now I'm tryin'/ real hard to be/ the man you wanted me to be
Mem'ries rewind teaching me it's a strong man who is gentle and kind
Mem'ries rewind teaching me it's a strong man who is gentle and kind
The man you were makin' of me sayin' hard things I needed to hear
I'm singin' in Nashville Tennessee 'cause the man that you made of me
The songs I sing /inside of me /are 'cause you believed in who I could be
Still young in spirit 'cause of you after all these years
I'm singin' in Nashville today/ 'cause how you/ never gave up on me
You helped bring out/ the songs that were always/inside of me to sing
You showed me how my challenges helped make me into a better man
I was lost/didn't know who I fully was/'til you came into my life
'cause you were in my life/ I have changed/ into this kinder man you see
You rocked my world/turned it upside down/changed me into a better man
Memories rewind/ how you taught me/ that a gentle man can be strong
Hope lives inside of me 'cause of sweet memories of you
Helped me soar to my destiny 'cause you never stopped believin' in me.
I'm the singer I am today/'cauee you believed so much in me
That breaks a heart but keeps it beating (Co-writer credit to Marlasaritkd)
Those carefree times I'll never forget
Two hearts touching one another
or the hurt that it's going
On the other side of hurting there can be healing.
Tears are an open window that lets the healing begin
You want its joy to go on forever
You want it to last forever
It gives joy to the living
It gives life its meaning
It's real/ something precious to hold on to
Memories that keep a heart beating
Special times live on in my memory
Tou were the healing air I was breathing
Passion can still live on in a memory
Need to open a window to let fresh air in
Mem'ries are like a flower more beautiful as time goes on
That wound a heart and keep it healing
Mem'ries are beautiful if you give them room to breathe
When tears start falling that's when the healing begins
Healing mem'ries that keep a heart beating
That hurts a heart and keeps it beating
Young, carefree, full of life
Young, so fresh, wild, carefree
Memories rewind when were so right for one another
Memories rewinding when we were so wild
Time when we were so wild and carefree
Young love so fresh, alive, like a heart beating quickly
That breaks a heart and keeps it going (Co-writer credit to Marlasaritkd for "breaks a heart")
That breaks a heart and keeps it pumping (Co-writer credit to Marlasaritkd for "breaks a heart")
Each other's breath stealing
Wish we would have given romance a second chance
Mem'ries rewindin' a touch, caress, having a heap of fun
Your touch, tender caresses, blowin' in my ear
You were 18, I was 21/we had so much fun!
Mem'ries of my heart broken, bruised, still beatin'
Mem'ries rewindin' bein' wild, carefree
Mem'ries rewindin' of bein' wild and carefree
Mem'ries of mountains, caresses giving our love meaning.
Ssnsin' my heart poundin' thinkin' 'of you
That my heart stops and starts broken and mending rememb'ring you.
My heart stops and starts broken and mendin' rememberin' you
Such a special time , a mem'ry helping this heart healing
Your hair all a mess, windows fogging.
Mem'ries of seeing mountains, sweet caresses, that gave our love its meaning.
Memories that warm me inside, give love its meaning
Flashbacks bein' with you help this hurtin' heart healin'
Did you hear the one about two songwriters who walk into a bar? (play on bar of music). They left on a sour note.
You can't stop two trains collidin' (Co-writer credit to Kayly for not stopping concept)
Time can be a healin' remedy to a memory.
Mem'ries on rewind that hurt but also help in the healin'
Memories that keep my heart beatin' (Credit to Marlasaritkd for leaving out the word lovin' from my previous lyric) Thanks a lot, Marla!
How do I move on from a memory?
If only the times that are gone we could have once again.
Time brings healin' to a broken heart in the leavin'
Keepin' this fractured heart beatin' and healin'(Credit to Marlasaritkd for the heart beating concept)
From not knowin' how to love to you smilin'
Young, hopeful, believin', mem'ries helpin' in the healin'
What you did with whip cream helps in the healin'
Young lovers, broken hearts, healin' mem'ries
In mem'ries rewindin' peace I'm findin'
Why did we pretend thinkin' our love would never end?
In mem'ries rewindin' healin' I'm findin'
Love remembered that helps me go on, helps in the healin'
From heartache losin' you to lovin' mem'ries that are healin'
Lovin' mem'ries that kept my heart beatin'
Lovin' mem'ries that make me smile.
Hearin' in my heart lovin' mem'ries that are healin'
Sweet cherry lips, whipped cream thought's helpin' in the healin'
Precious love mem'ries that help in the healin'
Thoughts of bananas, whipped cream, lovin' healin'
Time brings healin' to the leavin'
Only time will bring healin' in the leavin'
Those lovin' times will live in my mind.
You can't rewind the past.
Ain't one moment I regret/Those times of being wild and carefree I'll never forget
There's not a day I would rewind/Your love made me a better man/Our love didn't endure but ain't one kiss I'd take back (Credit to jaynesachs for the rewinding concept)
That fiery summer so full of spark and desire will live in my memory.
That fiery summer so full of love and desire will love in my memory/I'm a better man for having known you
Got the note you left at the motel that read: "The sizzle has fizzled out. We'll always have El Paso. Goodbye."
I'll never forget the note you left for me at the motel. "The sizzle has fizzled out. We'll always have El Paso. Goodbye."
I got your note that said, "Goodbye. The sizzle has fizzled out."
The sparks didn't continue/By Fall our love fizzled out
Our love cooled by Fall/The sizzle fizzled out
By Fall those fiery flames fizzled out
That summer sizzled but my the Fall our love had fizzled out
By Fall our love had crashed and burned/Guess we couldn't keep up the heat
The spark fizzled out/ a smile remains thinkin' how much you loved me
Thought our love would endure/it burnt out, but it leaves me smilin' inside your love changed me into a better man
That sizzlin' summer will live in my memory.
By Fall our love fizzled out/higher and higher the flames went until they burnt out
Hun. that final summer you showed me what true love means/We'll always have those smokin' lovin' mem'ries of El Paso
Showed me mountains/made me feel powerful emotions never knew were there. Always will have our fiery summer
Hun, our love was special, soul-givin/'Tears me up inside sayin' goodbye 'cause you're holdin' on too tight
When you look in the mirror don't know who you are/when you can't fix what's wrong time to move on
Our love that summer was pure, beautiful/fall came and somehow our love had gone, flown away, left in El Paso
Desired love wild as a Texas thunderstorm/Couldn't endure this suffocatin' of my soul
How can I endure? How can I move on from this soul-stealin' life unless I leave and find who I am.
Shared my dream being a songwriter/ Have to leave and live my dream or I'll lose what defines me
Don't want to say who was right or wrong/hun, we just grew apart
The more I gave the less there was of me/Had to leave much sooner /Had to find me again (Credit to Karly for the less of me and finding concepts)
Secret part of my heart I'll always keep for you/Gave 'til fire of love in me was consumed.
We were young lovers like stallions full of fiery fury, didn't last/loved way too wild and fast
Young lovers like us didn't last so full of fiery fury/lovin' way too wild and fast
Our love is like lightning/it appeared for an instant and then it was gone (Credit to Rebecca7387 for lightning gone in an instant concept) Write on, Rebecca!
Like lightnin' strikes, there were flashes of our thunderin' love growin' distant, didn't last
Our love was like those towerin' Texas thunderstorms/a nuclear blast that didn't last
I'm ragin' like a wildfire burnin' inside you had to go/but lovin' you was a gift that in my mem'ry will always endure
My heart's churnin' and burnin' inside like a ragin' wildfire you left me/guess our love wasn't meant to be
My heart's churnin' like a raging wildfire you left me/guess our love wasn't meant to be
My heart is churnin' inside like a raging wildfire that you left me/guess our love wasn't meant to be (Credit to Karly for the widfire concept)
Sorry our love didn't last/lovin' you was a blast
Our love didn't stand the test/Lovin' you made me the best
Could say who's to blame/Choose believin' 'cause of your love I'm a better man/never will be the same
Our love was like flashes of thunder/ here then only heard at a distance
Love is like a sheet of music/some notes slow/others the beat too fast/
our notes weren’t whole, so they didn’t last
Some songs are short and others long/our short love song was beautiful
Our love didn't endure/that's for sure, yeah
Our love like a firefly shone brightly and quickly burnt out
Our love was like a firefly lasting two months and then it died
We can't relive the past by puttin' it on rewind
Like stars lighting up the sky/love burning brightly that quickly burnt out(Credit to Paul Goerke for the lighting up the sky concept)
Not one day of our love I regret/Not one caress I forget/lovin’ you made me the man you wanted to see/sorry to see you go but I want you to know there ain’t one kiss I’d wannna take back
Not one day of our love I regret/Not one caress I forget/lovin' you made me the man you wanted to see/sorry to see you go but I want you to know there ain't one kiss I'd wannna tacke back
Our love went in and out like the tide/risin' and comin' back again/gone out to sea far too soon
Not one mem'ry/not one moment would I redo/'cause lovin' you made me more of the man I am/no there ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back (Credit to Jaynesachs for redoing concept)
Our love rose and came down quickly like the settin' sun
But the wood on the fire fizzled out
Not a day I'd rewind/found myself when I found you/forever I'll always see you're love brought out the best in me/ sorry to see you gone/time for movin' on but there ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back (Credit to Jaynssachs for the finding and losing concept)
Ain't one thing I regret/Ain't one mem'ry I'll forget/Ain't one kiss I''d take back (Credit to Colleen for the regret concept)
Enjoyed the hayride/hand me 'nother beer
Desire smouldered a while then burnt out like a fadin' mem'ry
Our love ran out of gas before I could get a fill-up 'gain
Scorchin' blaze like our love ignited and burnt out just as it was beginnin'
Desire smouldered and then burnt out
Higher and higher our love flew/ came crashin' down too soon
Sun rises sun sets like our love sun goin' down too quick
Fall came and love's flame burnt out before winter
That parkin' meter read expired/ truck got towed away
Our love was on a 60-day warranty that ran out.
I'd play that song again, but my SmartPhone is broken
Our love like my truck broke down/needs a new spark plug
It's time to change my shirt/this one's fadin'
I need another pair of blue jeans/these are fadin' too quick
Lyrics of our song didn't last as long as I wanted them too
Our love was like that Pontiac I just got out of the parkin' lot and returned/'cause the engine gave out
Our love was like maple syrup/sweet-tastin' but short-lived
You were like cherry wine/sweet, short-lastin oh so fine
Our love was like the heat of a summer wind blowin' gently on the skin/ felt then gone
The race was at full tilt but didn't reach the finish line.
Our love faded quickly like shadows in the night
Time to write another love song/this one didn't last long
The chewing gum was yummy but lasted a short time.
I need another lifesaver/this one's lost it's flavor
Time to write another song
It's ime to write another song/this one wasn't enjoyed that long
I needed to get off the merry-go-round.
It was one heck of a ride while it lasted!
The embers of our love burnt a short time and were snuffed out
You were like dynamite/had a blast with you
Love's breeze blew briefly in and I closed the window
Story went from start to climax short-lived but enjoyed
Who turned the light on and off fading to black?
We were caught in a smolderin' flame of desire that burnt out
The sun rises then it sets like our love bright then sun going down
Who am I to say who is right. who is wrong/All I feel is this smoldering heartache for love that didn't last long
Our love like a candle glowed brightly, dimmed and burnt out.
Our love was like autumn leaves bright colors fading then dying/cryin' over what we had then lost
You were like a spark to a flame that blazed briefly and burnt out
The taste of love like d.ark chocolate can be short, bittersweet
Like passion's scorchin' desire was our love's short love story.
Love's burnin' ecstasy flame's desire risin' in me.
Your cherry sweet lips smacked and curled as you kissed me, girl.
Lovin' you made more of a man of me, girl.
Made me see who I needed to be, girl.
Lovin' you made me see what I lacked girl.
Girl, loved you all night long kissin' and caressin' in our cozy shack.
Girl, loved you all night long in our cozy shack.
Girl, how we danced as we twisted and twirled to Merle singin' "My Favorite Memory."
Girl, how we did twist and twirl to Merle singin' "My Favorite Memory."
There ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back (girl) Marla’s chorus. We danced, twisted and swirled to Merle singin’ “My Favorite Memory.”Loved you all night long in our cozy shack/No, girl, there ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back.
There ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back (girl) Marla's chorus. We danced, twisted and swirled to Merle singin' "My Favorite Memory." Then, we made love in our cozy shack/No, girl, there ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back.
Remember that song I wrote for you, girl /Sang about how you got my heart in a whirl/I wouldn't have become the person I am 'cause you gave me what I lack.
I'll never forget that night I gave you that necklace with the pearl/Saw the light in your eyes shine, girl.
I'll never forget that night I gave you that ring with a pearl/Saw the light in your eyes shine, girl.
I thought you'd complete me/mem'ries of your love are healin' me.
You complete me/mem'ries of your love are healin' me.
Girl, I'll always love you/never forget the fun times we had.
We went through the worst/we went through the best.
Through the hurtin' words I''m healin'/hope you are too.
Through the heartache/through the grief, I'm glad for the good times we had.
You wounded me/mem'ries of your love are healin' me.
I''m sad/I'm glad thankful for the good times we had.
This hurtin' won't heal 'til I let go of it.
Through the pain, I remember how much you loved me.
Full of sorrow/full of joy...
Hate put me in jail/love freed me from it.
Hating yet loving you...
Sorrow shackled me/love freed me.
Out of my mind loving you/rememb'ring how you were the best.
Love hurts but it also heals.
Through the sorrow, you brought me joy!
You helped these blind eyes to see the best in me.
You put happiness in my heartache.
Through the gray, I see the blue/the joy of having loved you...
Though our love has flown away I say...
Through the sadness and the sorrow there's....
In every tear, I cry I ask, why did our love die?
There's healin' in the leavin' when...
There ain't one sorry/ain't one love story I'd forget...
Though our love was a mess and the makin' of me I confess...
There's a healin' in goodbye when...
Mem'ries of love tastin' your sweet cherry lips and...
Love can be like a broken heart with healin' in the mendin' and...
While our love song on my laptop plays just wanna say you're the best...
While songs on my Ipod play I just want to say...
Your goodbye took me by surprise but this I can't deny... Credit to Colleen for the not denying concept.
Mem'ries of your tender lips/love's maturin' caress and...
You were the makin' of this romancin' cowboy and...
The rollercoaster ride was the best and the makin' of me but...
Leavin' you tore me in two/'t was for the best.
In the rearview mirror, I'm growin' realizin' in love's test...
Your goodbye took me by surprise but this I realize...
Echos of these love reflections ringin' in my mind but...
Thinkin' 'bout that pressnt/can't rewind the past
Growin' thinkin' of the present/can't live in the past
Growin' rememberin' the present, but can't live in the past.
Though or love was a mess and the makin' of me I confess...
The memory fades but the movie isn't over.
Tears fall and then life blooms.
When one laugh stops another one begins.
When one smile fades another one begins. Credit to Marlasaritkd for the concept of coping and closing.
You're like poblano peppers in Texas chili / hot spice but...
Girl, I'm growin' through the fire love's flame and desire burnin' out but...
Girl, I''m growin' ' through the fire' though love's desire is burnin' fadin' out but...
Time our love can't erase, oh no it can't erase and...
There's a growin' lesson in goodbye but...
In losin’ there is findin’ and growin’ to be the best, but that caress put paid to the rest.
In losin' there is findin' and growin' to be the best, but that one kiss put paid to the rest.
in the lettin' you go, I will grow to be my best.
In the losin' there is finding I can be the best but...
Our love like a candle is flickerin' fadin' fast.
Girl, there's a blessin' in lettin' you go.
There's a blessin' in confessin' that goodbye can be for the best.
Lettin' you go freed me to be the best.
Heartache in lettin' you go is for the best but...
Torn in two letting you go but it was for the best
Stir crazy letting you go but it was for the best
Sorry you ain't here seein' leavin' you made me the best
Regrettin' you ain't here seein' leavin' you made me the best but...
Leavin' you tore my heart in two but it was for the best.

Stranger I asked took your photo/Said, "Smile your love looks so true."
That stranger I asked took the photo of you/She said, "Smile", and remarked how our love looked so true.
You taught me to feel the beauty in me/I'm not this ugly man I sometimes see.
Darlin' you're the reason I kept on livin' when hope in me was fadin'/when doctors said I was dying, when illness was invadin'.
When I see that photo it reminds me of your beautiful violet eyes, and how you taught me, true love, never dies.
Darlin' you're the reason for who I am today/you taught me to believe in the believin' that I'm a-okay.
Your lips tasted sweet as honey and how we loved one another so/my precious darlin' where did that soul-warming love go?
Your lips were sweet as honey and we loved one another so/my precious darlin', where did that sensuous love go?
You smiled at me in our motel room modeling that sexy negiigee/Darlin' that was some night I'll say!
I was lost in you and you in me/you brought out the best in me.
I look at the photo reminded of those lovely violet eyes so fine/through them I see how the roughness in me you did refine.
Darlin', you're the reason why I keep on livin', and though I thought I was ugly, you taught me to see the beauty that's in me.
Girl, I'm not angry at you, how could I be, when you brought out the best in me?
Darlin, in fallin' I got to rise/eyes to see how much your love meant to me.
My sweet rose, you'll always be the best in me/I hope this truth I'll always see.
Our love was something special, something sweet/I felt it then and feel it now with every heartbeat.
I loved you then and still love you now/never letting go in my mind of love that made me love you so.
They say there is value in falling in love and losing/we learn to grow from the decisions of our choosing.
That photo lives brightly in my mind/your love that taught me the value of failing in love to become kind.
Our love was like the desert sunset goin’ down/days of brightness when I smile and sadness when I feel cast down.
Our love was like the desert sunset goin' down/days of brightness when I laugh and sadness when i feel cast down.
We walked along the El Paso Mission Trail taking one another's hand/I said to you, Darlin' ain't our love somethin'grand!"

Darlin' our love was such a thrill/I look at that photo and love you still.
We had finished singing karaoke/we thought it funny our score was only 53.
You justed finished singin' karaoke/I gently teased you your score was 53.
Never forgot my head was all in a whirl/woo that tequila got a hold of me, girl!
Never forget my head all in a whirl/woo that tequila got a hold of us, girl!
Those romantic words I whispered in your ear, I didn't want anyone else to hear.
You told me somethin' lovin' just between you and me/words that live in my memory.
You kissed me on the ear/told me a joke no one else could hear
That joke you whispered in my ear no one else could hear.
The bar man who took the photo was smilin' as you smiled back at me.
That fella who took the photo was smilin' as you smiled back at me.
I stroked your hair and you kissed me/how could I've been so blind not to see you'd be leavin'me?
Sweet memories of our special love, love that lives in my memory.
A moment that was so special/why didnt our love last?
Love so special, so rare/times of smilin' at one another we share.
Wasn't it grand when we held each other's hand?
That joke I told you as I whispered in your ear, you didn't want anyone else to hear.
I didn't hear in my heart one day we'd forever part.
I didn't hear in my heart one day we would part.
Love that was so special then/it was so long ago can't remember when. Marlasaritskd, I give credit to you for the thought of being lost in the person you love. Jayne, loved your jukebox idea. For any others, I've written so many different lyrics my head's a-spinnin', but my heart's a-grinnin'.

Your wearing an engagement ring/you're whispering in my ear sweet nothings.
That photo is on the mantle there, mem'ries of when I kissed you and stroked your hair.
Your diamond wedding ring is there as I hold you close and stroke your hair.
The music playin' on the jukebox lives in my mind/love that was sweet, love that was kind.
When I kissed you, darlin' and you kissed me, how it made you feel so close to me.
We danced as you kissed me/mem'ries of our love live inside of me.
Your diamond wedding ring is there as I kiss your lips and stroke your hair.
Your diamond wedding ring there as I stroke your hair.
I stroked your hair and you kissed me/how could I've been so blind to see?

I see your diamond wedding ring mem'ries of what it meant to me.
I see your diamond wedding ring memories of it shining its light on me.
We danced as the jukebox was playin' our favorite song as I kissed you and you kissed me.
Darkin', we danced 'til three/holdin' you the tequila makin' us tipsy.
I wss lost in you and you in me/you were the best in me.
I kissed you and you kissed me/you were the better part of me.
Darlin' I was too blind to see that you were the best in me.
We kissed one another holding you close to me.
The tequila shots were way too many/back then you were my better half.
The tequila made us tipsy.
I laughed too/oh darlin', how much I loved you.
Two hearts then were one/girl we had such fun
Two hearts then were one/girl we had so much fun
Two hearts then were one/gosh we had such fun!
Darlin' weren't those times funny/two hearts then were one?
Weren't those times fun/ two hearts then were one?
I'm cryin' as I look at your photo/how could I have known you'd tear my heart in half?
How can I pick up these broken pieces when you tore my heart in half?
I whispered in your ear somethin' funny.
Darlin' ain't it awful when love tears your heart in half.
How I loved you then my sweet rose.
Darlin' never thought our sweet love would tear my heart in half.
Darlin' sure seems strange this broken love that tore my heart in half.
The person at the bar took the photo of us.
Baby, I think you're something special/you're the cream in my coffee.
Sorry's Only Part of the Story

El Passo Reflections of the One I Loved So
Darling, when I look at your picture on the table, I'm reminded how I was such a fool to lose you and how much you mean to me.
Memories of times we spent together, holding one another, hearing the birds sing, a clear blue sky, the beauty of the mountains and those tall evergreen trees dancing with the wind. Darling, I was such a fool to lose your love, but the times we shared together will always be so precious to me.
Darling, every lonely night without you tears away at me. I’m so sorry to lose you but I thank you for teaching me I need to be careful of the words I say because they live in my mind reminding me of how I caused you such suffering and pain.
Darling, every lonely night without you tears away at me. I'm so sorry to lose you but I thank you for teaching me I need to be careful of the words we say because they live in our minds reminding me of how I caused you such suffering and pain.
Darling, I'm sorry we had to part. Your love taught me that true love comes from a giving heart.
I'm sorry, darling, we had to part. Your love taught me that caring comes from a giving heart.
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on kosborne321's lyric:
"Hahahaha Kevin! I gotta say that's a great rhyme! But "brain fart" might create too much slap happy into the mix...though it's truly what can happen!"
(more)"I have big brain farts/when we have these fights/please give me a fresh start"
