what if you took mediocre music away from the words and just looked at the words with fresh eyes? you'd have a very unlikely candidate for a beautifully written song. or maybe it's just that I'm hearing everything differently these days...
I'll leave out lines with the title / chorus until the end, and once that happens it seems like something that you could set to a decent tune:
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
Maybe this won't last very long
you feel so right
I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you
for the longest time
