New Tune Tuesday

New Tune Tuesday


Sometimes on Tuesdays, I will attempt to share a new song I have written. Important reminders:
*I record these songs with a cheap microphone in my bedroom. If the volume is super loud or super quiet, you may need to adjust the speaker levels on your computer.
*My piano and guitar skills are meager. Many tunes will sound similar.
*Just push the blue play button in the entry right above this one.
*This is just a fun creative outlet. Thanks for listening!

About this song: It's about grief, loss, relationships, death, and hope.


"Temporary Purpose"

This wasn't what we wanted.
You over there, and me over here.
There's got to be a way to bridge the great divide,
if we look on the inside.



Maybe we only get a chapter,
in the picture being painted of this life.
I'd hold you forever,
if it meant we'd never
have to turn to the next page.
And do you know that I love you?
And do you know that I miss you always?
Every word you said was worth it.
And temporary has a purpose.


The news is etched forever,
grief stained the page
and you went away.
Nobody has a way to mend the broken glass,
so on those memories we trespass.


Maybe we only get a chapter,
in the picture being painted of this life.
I'd hold you forever,
if it meant we'd never
have to turn to the next page.
And do you know that I love you?
And do you know that I miss you always?
Every word you said was worth it.
And temporary has a purpose.


The clock keeps ticking forward.
It moves along,
not right or wrong.
Reminders of the days I'd like to spend with you,
when all our dreams will come true.


Maybe we only get a chapter,
in the picture being painted of this life.
I'd hold you forever,
if it meant we'd never
have to turn to the next page.
And do you know that I love you?
And do you know that I miss you always?
Every word you said was worth it.
And temporary has a purpose.


Maybe we only get a chapter,
in the picture being painted of this life.
I'd hold you forever,
if it meant we'd never
have to turn to the next page.
And do you know that I love you?
And do you know that I miss you always?
Every word you said was worth it.
And temporary has a purpose.
