Life To Live Over (Black Dog Island 2017)
Commercially the song relates to lots of break ups where couples regret ever walking away from each other and this song offers and gateway of reconciliation to help a couple get back together or walk away forever. So in writing songs over the years I learnt about the commercial value of a song. Of course there is a country feel to the song, in saying that this song might be well represented in the hands of a country star rather than me. The Uilleann Pipes in the end came in well.
Lyrics:
KEY:D MAJOR
JAN 2016
I’VE GOT MY WALL FILLED UP WITH PHOTOGRAPHS A TRUE REFLECTION OF MY PAST SOME MAKE ME CRY SOME TEARS OF JOY SOME AND SADNESS.
BUT THERE’S ONE STANDS OUT FROM ALL THE REST THAT RAINY DAY WHEN WE FIRST MET ‘’ I MEMORISE THE MAGIC OF THAT MOMENT
CHORUS
IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, IF COULD CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND FOR REAL , IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN , I WOULD CHANGE THE DAY I WALKED AWAY FROM YOU.
THEY SAY TIME IS A TRUE HEALER NOW I’M WILLING AND I’M EGGER FOR TO COMPROMISE TO WORK IT ALL OUT EVEN.
EACH DAY I ROAM THROUGH MY HOME TOWN MY THOUGHTS REFLECT US BREAKING DOWN I CARRY HOME MY SORROWS EVERY EVENING...
CHORUS
IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, IF COULD CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND FOR REAL , IF I CHANGE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN , I WOULD CHANGE THE DAY I WALKED AWAY FROM YOU.
THE YEARS HAVE GONE AND WERE GETTING ON OUR KIDS HAVE GROWN AND SINCE MOVED ON WE HELLO AND WAVE WHEN WE CROSSOVER
SWEET MEMORIES ARE LONG SINCE GONE I’M HOPING THAT YOU’LL UNDERSTAND LOVE FADES AWAY THEN COMES A DAY ITS OVER
CHORUS
I IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, IF I COULD CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND FOR REAL , IF I COULD MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN , I WOULD CHANGE THE DAY I WALKED AWAY FROM YOU.
HOW SWEET IT IS TO LOVE SOMEONE DISTANT FRIENDS NOW WE’VE BECOME WERE NOT TWO PASSING SHIPS LOST IN THE OCEAN.
IT’S MATTERS NOT THAT WERE APART I’M THANKFUL FOR THE TIMES WE HAD TO KNOW WEVE BOTH MOVED ON AND WERE NOT LOAMSOM
CHORUS
IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, IF COULD CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND FOR REAL , IF I LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN , I WOULD CHANGE THE DAY I WALKED AWAY FROM YOU
