GettingOverIt Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Not my first song, not my last... Just one I wrote this morning while thinking about life, I guess.... ---------------- Everything Happens for a Reason ©2005 "GettingOverIt" All Rights Reserved. Use eNotAlone Private Messaging for contact information. Everything Happens for a Reason Everything happens for a reason, they say The sun comes up, the leaves blow away. Everything happens for a reason, I've heard It's the thing to remember when you're mad at the world... [CHORUS] Oh, Everything happens, they say that it's true, It happens to me, And it happens to you, Your ex-girlfriend finds the love of her life, And your old boyfriend, goes back to his wife, The lottery winner is the guy next door, The one with the Porsche, And the gold on his floor. Well, everything happens for a reason, they say And maybe we'll know, just what it is one day The mercury rises, And the snow will fall, Someone will be there To witness it all CHORUS Now, everything happens for a reason, you know, There's a time to hold on And a time to let go, There's a time to dance And a time to cry Sometimes we all take a chance And then wonder why... INSTRUMENTAL BREAK BRIDGE Now I'm lookin Out on the great beyond, I sit and I wonder Just where I belong There's good and there's bad, There are highs and lows It's all part of life They say "that's how it goes..." CHORUS Everything happens Everything happens (The love of her life) Everything happens (Goes back to his wife) Everything happens (Guy next door) Everything happens (Gold on his floor) CHORUS REPEAT TO FADE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11flower Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi Gettingoverit, I like the idea but have one suggestion/advice. BTW, I am a musician, learning jazz actually. I have written some lyrical songs and my first suggestion is to please take out the hyphens. You don't need to put hyphens in lyrics. You're trying to show us some of the rhytmic content, but I'd leave those out as it makes the lyrics harder to read. Is this a country western genre? 11Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11flower Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Gettingoverit, Also, I forgot. It's easier for us to read when you do not repeat the CHORUS lyrics. The best thing to do is put the chorus in once and just put CHORUS Then the next verse, or whathave you. Same for BRIDGE. Just put that one time including all the lyrics of the bridge and on the chart put BRIDGE. Easier to read that way. 11Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GettingOverIt Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks, flower, I made the changes (or at least I think I did...) Yeah, pretty much for the country genre, or at least that's how it plays in my head.. ;-) Thanks for the input, folks, I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11flower Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Lookin' better, Gettingoverit. Oh BTW, there is another "Flower" on this list I saw so my name is 11Flower. Do you play in a group? Which instrument do you play? 11Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GettingOverIt Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Sorry, 11Flower, won't make that mistake again, I promise! ;-) No, I wish I could play - HA! and sing for that matter... I write lyrics, poems, short stories... If I could play, then I could get the tunes that go with my lyrics out of my head! I did find some software that lets you 'hum' the tune and then convert that into MIDI, but evidently I'm not a very good humming person either.. ;-) Somehow, I see myself as a prime candidate for MotorMouth on VH1!! ;-) Oh, I also do remixes for link removed on the side! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
