An Unfinished Song

guitar

So many times
I've sat me down
And tried to write this song
The music came
Like falling rain
The words just came out wrong

And so I'd sit
And strum these very chords
And try to rhyme a rhyme
But after years
Of missing you
All I have are these few lines

There was a time
When you were mine
But that was long ago
I used to think
I'd lose my mind
I was too young to know

And then I'd lay
My old guitar down
And live to write another day
Perhaps the words
Will find me soon
And we can put this song away

What I didn't realize
Some songs aren't meant to be
But let me play it for you
One last time
These few words are yours to keep

There was a time
When you were mine
But that was long ago
I used to think
I’d lose my mind
I was too young to know
Oh, but now I know
Yes, now I know

So many times
I've sat me down
And tried to write this song
