This song is a keeper! It's 76bpm, more or less, if anyone wants to add a good drum line to it...

Thanks so much, Doug, for letting me use your lyrics once again! @kellyk is a keeper and so is this lyric/song, one of the best I've done in a while.

Doug: I'm glad you picked this up, @metalfoot! Very cool chords "keep" it from being saccharine and mushy. You did a great job on it. Thanks for another memorable collab!

Lyrics

Verse 1
You know I’m not nostalgic
But I’ve been thinking ’bout our early days
So sure even then
You’d see me through the fog, the rain, the haze

Verse 2
No matter how we struggled
We always found a way to overcome
I’d look at your smile
And in your eyes I’d see my moon and sun

(Chorus)
I wouldn’t want to go back
It’s so much better now
We love each other more each day
Dig further down somehow
A little deeper
And when I look back to those early times
I thank my lucky stars I saw
You are a keeper

Verse 3
I doubt that it was easy
To sense what I could offer at the start
My guard was still up
Because too many others broke my heart

Verse 4
But you were sweet and patient
You waited for the walls to tumble down
You felt in your bones,
Despite my scars, that I would come around

(Chorus)
I wouldn’t want to go back
It’s so much better now
We love each other more each day
Dig further down somehow
A little deeper
And when I look back to those early times
I thank my lucky stars I saw
You are a keeper

(Bridge)
You keep me warm at night
You keep me in your prayers
You keep me at a distance
When I’m getting in your hair
You keep all of your promises
You keep me satisfied
You keep my every secret
So I’m keeping you
I’m keeping you
I’m keeping you
Forever by my side

(Chorus)
I wouldn’t want to go back
It’s so much better now
We love each other more each day
Dig further down somehow
A little deeper
And when my thoughts turn to those early times
I thank my lucky stars I saw
You are a keeper
(2X)

(Outro)
You are a keeper
