Story Behind The Song

Made it up in my head walking around NYC, went home and wrote it.

Song Description

Guy and girl fall in love. Guy is away for work too often. Girl finally leaves him, needing more of a relationship than that.

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.
