Story Behind The Song

I was inspired by Cindy Bullen's CD about overcoming tremendous loss to love and to live once again.

Song Description

The singing narrator nudges his friend to consider getting over his broken heart and consider that a perfectly wonderful woman is available to him right under his nose, if he'll only look.

Lyrics

It broke your poor heart in two, her leaving
She was so deceiving, and now you're grieving
Over what you had--brother you were feeling bad
Now you speak of love and there's no bereaving, only disbelieving, there's no retrieving what you had with her--you think your heart will never stir.

Now I am of a single mind that even if she was unkind when filtered through the prism of a tear, in a year, and another, you'll recover and you'll discover that you...

Love anyway, love everyday, love living and the quick like you're here to stay
Open up your eyes, take a good look around you
The lovely, the caring, the lonely surround you
Your pout and your petulance are all of a sudden passe... love anyway

I notice there's this woman you think's neurotic
You find her ways chaotic, her views quixotic
She hangs around you more and more, and you seem headed for the door
If you tried again she could seem exotic
Her mind is astronomic, her curves erotic
What'cha waitin' for? Listening for the devil's roar?

Now I am tired of your gripe 'cause even if she's not your type when filtered through the prism of your fear, in a year, or another, you'll discover that she is your lover, and you'll...

Love anyway, love everyday, love living and the quick like you're here to stay
Open up your eyes, take a good look around you
The lovely, the caring, the lonely surround you
Your pride and your prejudice is all of a sudden passe... love anyway.
