Story Behind The Song

I wqnted to write a simple love song for my wife. We used to do allthe stuff like monlit walks and looking into each others eyes but when it was down on paper people said I had to spice it up to make it something and that got me mad. So the song turnedint

Song Description

This is a bit of a rant that you can't sing a simple love song without saying how good a girl is in bed. Bassically it says that we've lost our innocence. It's a little Jeff Buckley in style.

Lyrics

I want to sing a song to you
About your eyes and what they do
But that?s been sung a thousand times before
I want to sing about the thrill that I get every time you tell me
You?ll stay and you?ll be mine forever more
There?s so much I want to say
But I?ve been told it doesn?t pay
To put love in a simple song
Now our innocence has gone

I want to write a verse or three
About the time you went with me
And we stayed out late and danced under the moonlit sky
But I have heard that people laugh
About our dreamy distant past
And all the things we did back then have died
And I?ve been told it doesn?t sell
And that I might just as well
Sing a different kind of song
Now our innocence has gone

I heard a guy the other day
Who sang of how he had his way
And left her when he?d finished where she lay
And love ran in and out the song
But somewhere love had got it wrong
If love thinks it can just get up and walk away
There?s a simple truth I?ve heard
That love holds on for all it?s worth
Well, that?s where it?s all gone wrong
That?s where our innocence has gone

The greatest love ever told
More than Julie and Romeo
Is of a love that stretched across the heavens
And laid it down to make a bridge
That she could cross to be with Him
And live together happy after ever
But some folk think that?s just a tale
And love like that is bound to fail
We?ll that?s where they?ve all gone wrong
That?s where their innocence has gone
So I?ll put love in a simple song
Now our innocence has gone
