Lyrics
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG
© 2005 Cassandra Kubinski
VERSE The color of your shirt was baby blue
It matched the Autumn sky if I remember
At Caroline?s Coffee,
You ordered behind me,
A couple laughs later, dinner for two.
A young songwriter and a finance manager
Drinking in discoveries of each other.
You shell-shocked my night,
When you asked if I?d write
A love song, someday, for you.
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG?
CHORUS But waking up with just the sun
On Saturday won?t satisfy, I
Wanna wake up with someone
Not just this lie.
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG,
But at least the song is for you.
VERSE That first year sparkled like my left hand diamond,
But time will leave a film upon its surface
And were you missing me,
Like our anniversary?
As you jetted off to who knows where
For work, and I was left to care
For painting and refinishing
And just waiting for the phone to ring,
And how does ?just two weeks dear? turn into forever?
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG?
CHORUS
BRIDGE After all this time, conversations in my mind?
We moved too quickly
I will never be your number one priority,
So here?s that song you wanted, finally.
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG..
CHORUS But waking up with just the sun
On Saturday, won?t satisfy me, I
Wanna wake up with someone
Not this lie.
HARDLY IS A LOVE SONG
But at least it?s your song,
Goodbye.
