You Were There

When time passed by I did not cry for chances wasted. The opportunity was lost - It's reality. There is no point in missing pleasures never tasted . The chance is gone I'll just move on - So let it be. ( Chorus ) And in the end we need a friend to draw life's curtain. Someone to share that morning star and evening prayer. I always knew that in the queue of what was certain. I'd look around And always found that you were there . When Lady Luck Became unstuck with cards she'd deal me. I made the best of every hand she threw my way. And when that thief of life would come and try to steal me. Your lifting word Was what I heard to make my day. Repeat Chorus .. Entry for Rob Carmack's Song 1 Contest .. The theme being - Never back down - Be positive and drive on .

Thanks for the 'welcome-back' Jan and for your kind words . I put this as a song for a Song Contest over here many years ago. It reached the final (450 entries) and just like Lazerus ,it came 4th !. Never made a dime , but I have a nice trophy to prove it (dust gatherer) . Really enjoy your witty/clever pieces ..
