Like It Was Mine

Put a coin in the jukebox. Here's the lyrics to the song ....

No longer running Cupid's maze

Was lost inside it anyway

Looking for a missing part

That I thought could complete my heart

The ones I found were never mine

They broke it more and more each time

So I've come to a conclusion

And this is my resolution

 

Chorus

 

I've given my heart back to me

Pieced together, it works perfectly

The part missing wasn't essential

Replacing it proved consequential

So with me it will stay, never give it away

May be ugly but it's keeping time

Had it re-engraved, now it bears my name

And I'll take care of it like it was mine

 

I'll still kiss a pretty face

No I won't turn down an embrace

Making love is still a high

But I'm not a man to lie

Affections just go so far

Locked deep inside, under alarm

No you will never steal my heart

Can't afford one more broken part

 

Chorus

 

 

I've given my heart back to me

Pieced together, it works perfectly

The part missing wasn't essential

Replacing it proved consequential

So with me it will stay, never give it away

May be ugly but it's keeping time

Had it re-engraved, now it bears my name

And I'll take care of it like it was mine

 

Had it re-engraved, now it bears my name

And I'll take care of it like it was mine

My sweet friend, I think anyone would find your heart far from ugly. I loved your song and wish I could hear the music you had in mind for it.

Everytime I visit you I smile. How could one not! Just look at YOUR smile and anyone with a cup of Java about to go to their lips or in a cheers mode is wonderful in my book. Add a great poet to the combination and hey, what more can I say. LOL

I am sorry I have had some things keeping me away from reviewing. I hope you and yours are well.

Merry Christmas my friend,
Lesa

Awwww, such sweet sentiments. You're right. Affections DO only go so far. This hit a nerve with me. Nice lyrics Dag. :)

[Passion for Literature]

Now, I have your song stuck in my head...LOL.

the rhyme of your song makes it flow...very nicely, I might add...I really enjoyed the attention you paid to the subject...there is a real focus...one line mingles with the next...I like the underlying notion that a heart is yours to give away.

TOP OF THE BILLBOARD CHARTS...VERY WELL WRITTEN!

ah, when you caught my note...I knew right then and there you are a hopeful romantic...just as I am :o)

[Wildfleour]

it's a good song, D.

[HoorayForUnderdog]

These lyrics have all the components of a hit song, Dagonut! I love it!

[Ray Hamilton]

I left my heart in the big city of Nantucket
She wants me to come back for it
but ----- never mind LOL

I enjoyed this song but now how am I going to get it out of my head thanks LOL
This was great I needed that

This is fantastic! I love this Jay...
wow..

and the funny thing is,
I sing poems as i read them...
in my head,
so I can already hear this as a song :)

Perfect!

One thing though....

you're a romantic.
You'll give up your heart again...
because that's what we hopeless
romantics do. Repeatedly.

We wear it loud and we wear it proud,
until it falls off our sleeve again,
hits the ground
and shatters all over the place.

Then..sigh...
back to square one.

Oh my, that didn't help matters at all did it?!! :(

You rock my friend! This is awesome!
