I wrote this song over two days and it's a slow song. Let me know what you guys think


I Hope You Find This Song
(Verse 1)
Do you remember when the future was a million years away,
Back when we didn't have to think 'bout what the grown ups had to say,
Goodbye used to mean until the next day when I'd see you again,
Now it means about nine years and counting because I'll never search again,
(Chorus)
I feel sorry for the things we never got to do,
Nostalgic for the words that I used to say to you,
I miss you so much it hurts, you must've felt it too,
I'm white, I'm a ghost, I doubt that I can still push through,
I hope you find this song,
And realise I was wrong,
I hope you say to me "you didn't speak,"
(Verse 2)
I wish more than anything you were standing right infront of me,
I wouldn't say anything, I wouldn't need to you, because you'd see,
We are meant to be together, our shapes match perfectly, you're a star,
I know you're far but someday I'll hold you and sing this, again we start,
(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
Where are you?
Are you in my town?
Your face in every crowd, haunting me,
What are you?
Have you changed a lot,
I'm a ghost, I don't know how I'm meant to feel,
How are you?
Are you in L.A?
Remember you used to talk about all those dreams someday,
Do you write?
Songs have you written for me,
The same kinda plead,
(Repeat chorus)

(Outro)
I hope you find this song,
And realise I was wrong,
I hope you say to me "you didn't speak,"

I hope you find this song,
And realise I was wrong,
I hope you say to me "you didn't speak,"
Writing songs came as easily as breathing to me

I love the title, I could hear Barry Manilow singing such a song, I would cross out "nine years" as it is too specific and just put in a while  so people could empathise with the loss more, great, well written Terry

Hi, is this just lyrics or should there be a link to some music as well?
Interesting point Terry makes about being specific or generic - for me it kind of depends, being too specific can make it impersonal but equally too generic and it can sound meaningless. Personally I like 9 years but each to their own..
