Hi guys,
It’s very unusual for me to write a song this fast, but there is a 1+1 contest on another forum this month and I wanted to enter something, so I came up with this….God it’s depressing…I apologise for that….it’s just where the chords/melody took me I guess. (I’ve always loved sad songs though, so I do enjoy writing them every now and then.😊)
All feedback is welcome…hopefully the performance sells the song and makes it seem personal, but the lyrics are only a story, so I won’t be offended if you critique them.👍🏻
Cheers for listening
Leo

Got a call from a number that I didn’t recognise
told my new girlfriend to let it go to my voice mail
And when i listened…..I cried
What I heard was the choked up and broken words of your sister
Telling me the terrible truth
and how I wished I could have been there by her side.
Not so long ago
We were still together
But I could never let you go
Hayley, beautiful and bright
You always knew just how to make me smile
Though I can’t be where you are tonight
I’ll hold you close in the photograph I hide
And every memory I find
Verse 2.
Took my seat at the service behind the other guy
That was tough
But then what’s not
When you’re stuck
There in the nightmare
Crying why.
You have always known
Just how much I love you
Everybody loves you so….
Bridge.
All the years we had
All the years I held you
But I was always hoping
I was always hoping…..for more
