Story Behind The Song
A recollection phone messages from a lover that became an ex-lover inspired this song. From singing happy messages to serious punctuated sentences...and then it was over...just memories after that.
Song Description
When someone is happily in love--they have a strength of life in their voice. Seeing your lover, talking to your lover or leaving a message for your lover has that "glow" in your lovers' voice. But it leaves when the love goes...

Lyrics
You used to sing when you spoke to me
You used to laugh when we?d play
You used to smile at the sight of me
You held me close both night and day...
But now I realize this is a memory
A certain picture for a song
You used to sing when you spoke to me
Before you?d gone.
So now I?m here and you are far away
You?re chasing rainbows over hills
And I stand here with our pot of gold
Standing still.
I wonder if you ever think of me
I wonder if you really cared
I wonder if you are alone at night
I wonder if you?re just scared.
You used to sing when you spoke to me
You used to laugh when we?d play
You used to smile at the sight of me
You held me close both night and day...
But now I realize this is a memory
A certain picture for a song
You used to sing when you spoke to me
Before you?d gone.
