Lyrics

THE SONG I DIDN'T WRITE
(Claire Ulanoff/Perry Smith)


I had a string of broken dreams
And a second hand guitar
She said she fell in love with me
For my restless poet's heart

I used to play my songs for her
Wove my past in melodies
She'd close her eyes, drift away and say
"Wish you'd write a song for me"

To me she'll always be...

The race I didn't run, the fight I didn't fight
I didn't follow through 'cause I was so afraid to try
Should've found the words while she was in my life
But she'll always be the song I didn't write

I thought if I gave everything
I might end up all alone
Guess my fears made a fool of me
'Cause I'm here and now she's gone

To me she'll always be...

(chorus)

She didn't want a perfect man
She only wanted me
If I could do it all again
I swear she wouldn't be...

(chorus)
I had a string of broken dreams
And a second hand guitar
