about

I wrote this rock ballad back in 1991 or 92 but the song didn't fit the heavy metal / hard rock format of my at-the-time band. I decided to revisit this and other material starting during the COVID pandemic of 2020.

lyrics

Too many nights
I spent
Staring at your picture on the wall

I can't forget
The love we shared
So long ago

We could have been so good
I guess it was never meant to be
And now the way I feel
Just tears in the rain

So many times
I thought that we could be together, lady
I never realized
How much I needed you

As time goes on
Maybe I'll get over losin' you
I can't let go
The times we shared

The only one I ever loved
The only one who really cared
And now you're gone
Leaving me with only a faded photograph

So many times
I thought that we could be together, lady
I never realized
How much I needed you

So many times
I thought that we could be together, lady
I never realized
How much I needed you
