Where were You.....
You were there when I was winning,
You were right there by my side,
When I was on a lucky run,
You were there on the inside,
But when it all started going wrong,
And my luck turned around,
Where were you when I needed you,
You were nowhere to be found...
You were there in the sunshine,
When the skies were blue,
You were there for the summertime,
Winter came, you flew,
You said you couldn't stand the rain,
So when the skies turned grey,
Where were you when I needed you,
You were on your way....
I dreamed a bright future,
But the dream faded fast,
You were there for the good times,
But they're all in the past,
I was there when you needed me,
I picked you up when you were down,
Where were you when I needed you,
You were nowhere to be found........

Nice work Vic. Sounds like you ran into one of my ex wives. :shock: :P :D
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"
this is great stuff.....

Vic, real good writing all I keep thinking, aint that the truth the song flows and sings well. Keep writing . Nite......................
lyrics belong in songs, poems bolong in bookstores
Vic,
Well done. Good images, good meter, good rhymes, and on top of all that, good story, nice flow, just a pleasure to read. Good job, mate.

great! great song, I really like the "winter came, you flew", keeps up the point-counterpoint style seamlessly
I don't follow my dreams, I just ask em' where they're going and catch up with them later.

Did you see that!
Hey Vic,
Like it a lot. How do you guys put it all so simply and neatly? Guess I've a mindblock rite now. Can't find anything against your song. A job well done...:)
Compare and contrast with "Where Are You"........please?
