Been a Long Long Time

Been a long long time

Deja Vu
I remember when you were with me,
and our love was still brand new

Been a long, long time...
Makes me want to cry...

It was great back then,
We were both so young, we thought
our love would never ever end,

Been a long, long time...
Guess our song ran out of rhyme.

Deja vu
I remember, when you told me,
that you wanted someone new,

Been a long, long time...
Can't get you off my mind.

I want you to know,
You were the one for me
I never wanted you to go

Been a long, long time...
Can't get you off my mind

Bridge
I keep going to the places we used to go
You're always with me in my mind
I wish I could move on, but,
the memories just won't fade
I still love you so much, I can't
believe you never  stayed!

Deja vu
I remember the times we came here,
and our love was still brand new,
Been a long, long time
Can't get you off my mind

Been a long, long time...
Can't get you off my mind

repeat fade to zero

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 9/22/2017 5:22:00 PM Beautifully sad song, John. You are such an exceptionally talented songwriter. Every time I read one of your lyric poems, my muse gets inspired. I write quite a few song too, being we're kindred lyricists. You're very free spirited in sharing your songs. Unlike you, I'm very protective of mine ... they're like my poetic children. You have a great God-given talent. I loved this song very much. Splendid lyric poetry. Love and joy always.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/6/2017 8:25:00 PM John, That was a great tune, STuck on You. It's a talent to write to music. Also I would love to be able to write my OWN music (if I could just figure out notes!!) Let me look for a poem of yours I have not seen yet. Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/5/2017 7:52:00 PM this would make an amazing song, John. Do you have a tune for it? Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 8/6/2017 1:11:00 PM I was thinking about stuck on you, by Lionel Richie, the lyric fits pretty good, of course I'm working on my own melody, thanks for the visit.

Thanks for the kind visit and support!
