Liner Notes

Enough with the heartbreak, Jerry. You're being such a downer!

Surely you can come up with SOMETHING upbeat--hopeful, romantic. Reach deep, my friend.

Ok, here it is. I hope you enjoy the song!

BUT THEN ONE DAY

Life was just a steady blur,
nothing too fancy,
I was rolling on my own,
feeling kinda antsy,
BUT THEN ONE DAY,
I saw a sight so enchanting,
In the midst of the chaos,
our worlds started dancing.

She walked into the room,
felt like a hurricane,
My heart skipped a beat,
never felt quite this insane,
I swear that it was fate,
destiny's grand design,
Two lost souls collided,
and our stars began to align.

CHORUS:
BUT THEN ONE DAY, yeah,
we found our way,
Through the darkest nights,
we would always stay
In each other's arms,
where we found our home,
Our love, like a fire,
eternally shone.

We were polar opposites,
worlds apart,
But in each other's presence,
we found our hearts,
She was the melody
to my chaotic rhyme,
A serendipitous encounter,
once in a lifetime.

Through ups and downs,
we wrote our song,
With every twist and turn,
our love grew strong,
Like a rose in the concrete,
against all odds,
We bloomed together,
defying the gods.

CHORUS:
BUT THEN ONE DAY, yeah,
we found our way,
Through the darkest nights,
we would always stay
In each other's arms,
where we found our home,
Our love, like a fire,
eternally shone.

Now every day is
an adventure, every day a thrill,
With her by my side,
I get my fill of
Our love, which like a phoenix,
rose from the ashes,
Through every challenge,
our love never clashes.

So here's to us,
against all the odds we've overcome,
In the stories of our loves,
this will forever be the one,
BUT THEN ONE DAY,
we found our way,
Two ordinary lives
transformed by love's luminous ray.

CHORUS:
BUT THEN ONE DAY, yeah,
we found our way,
Through the darkest nights,
we would always stay
In each other's arms,
where we found our home,
Our love, like a fire,
eternally shone.

Oh I like the panning in the backing track! Great pacing in your lyrics and I like the upbeat tempo and tone of the song. Love those harmonies - just perfect! I do like sad songs, but it is nice to hear something I can tap my toes to and smile while I am listening to it! Well done!

You could just sing la la la la and I’d be in a better mood cuz your vocals just sound so happy!

Some really awesome lines in there. A pleasure to listen to.

Very winning bounce to this one! Got a bit of a Lovin’ Spoonful vibe. You’ve definitely hit the brief in terms of doing something more sunny and optimistic. Another top tune!

a brilliant depiction of love at first sight, the words tell it and the music makes you feel it. perhaps such love is not always eternal. but it does put a spring in your step..just as the song has put a spring in your voice.
