He Gave You

A song I wrote about a friend.

I'm sitting here on this old porch swing.

With a tight grip on your old wedding ring.

A river of tears streaming down my face.

Lord I feel so out of place.

Without her by my side.

He gave you that diamond ring you always wanted.

He gave you the home of your dreams.

He gave you the life and treasures you never had.

But is it love baby, or just the wealth he has?

Ten years is a long time.

To have you still so strong on my mind.

Ive been trying hard to figure out what I did wrong.

And why you left me here all alone?

You left me here on a rainy night.

Its something you thought was so right.

I don't know how to live now that your gone.

He gave you that diamond you always wanted.

He gave you the home of your dreams.

He gave you the life and treasures you never had.

But is it love baby, or just the wealth he has?

I can still hear the harsh words you said as you walked away.

I still have the letter you mailed months after you went away.

All the memories of the good times we had.

Like the day we shared our vowels.

Or made love for the first time.

Are memories that wont fade.

You told me our love would would last forever more.

Now I don't know why you walked out our door.

He gave you that diamond you always wanted.

He gave you the home of your dreams.

He gave you the life and treasures you never had.

But is it love baby, or just the wealth he has?

Baby does he give you what I gave you?

Explain just this to me.

Does he give you the love and comfort you need?

Please tell me baby.

Does he give you the love and comfort you need?

Very lyrical and visual. I agree it seems more like a song.

Thank You for your comment!!!! I wrote is as such, and as I write the lyrics from the first line. I already have the rhythm and can even hear different types of instrument's to see how they would fit, as well I also sing them to see how it fits. I just wish I could still play a guitar. Thanks again!!!!
