GOOD THINGS
IF YOU COULD TURN BACK
EVERY CLOCK
WOULD YOU STILL SAIL
AWAY FROM THOSE DOCKS?
IF YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN
WHAT YOU KNOW NOW
ABOUT ALL THE WHYS
AND ALL OF THE HOWS
YOU’D PROBLY THINK A FEW DECISIONS WEREN’T TOO HOT
LIKE GIVING UP ON THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GOT
BACK IN SCHOOL
MAN YOU WERE SMART
THEY MEASURED YOUR BRAIN
BUT NEVER YOUR HEART
THEN THE YEARS BLOW BY
AND YET YOU HAVEN’T CONNECTED THE DOTS
STILL GIVING UP ON THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GOT
SO YOU MIGHT HAVE TAKEN A LOVE FOR GRANTED
NOW THERE’S ONE LESS THING TO THINK ABOUT
PRECIOUS ONES CAN UP AND SLIP AWAY
THEN YOU LEARN HOW TO LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT
KINDA CLICHE TO TAKE SOME THINGS FOR GRANTED
TACK IT ON A LONG LIST THAT YOU MADE
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES, SO WILL YOU EVER LEARN
TO RECOGNIZE WHEN THE GOOD STUFF STARTS TO FADE?
HOW MANY TIMES DOES REAL LOVE COME AROUND?
ONLY A WISE MAN
“LL KNOW WHEN IT’S FOUND
SO HOLD ON TIGHT, DON’T LET YOUR WHOLE WORLD GO TO POT
BY GIVING UP ON THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GOT
GOTTA HOLD ON TO THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GOT
You got some good ideas there Tommy, the flow, and the ending.I guess you can say it;s a “Good Thing”.
Hey Stosh,
Yeah, there’s a lot going on in this recording, eh? I’m glad you think it’s a good thing.
Tom
really nice tune, great lyrics that made me think about everything in my life. 🙂
Mary
Hey Mary,
Thanks kindly. I guess the goal with all of this is to make for some feeling and thinking, not all that common these days. Hard to text that stuff.
This tune for me lyrically is about trying to stay conscious, and appreciative.
Thank you, Mary
Tom
Absolutely beautiful! Melody, lyrics, mix , harmonies, bridge——– everything just perfect.
Hey Carole,
Well, we try hard NOT to do perfect, just put all into it that we really like.
But I’m glad you think it was perfect. Thank you.
Little Tom
Tom I know that a bar or restaurant needs a local entertainment license, do they need to get a license from SESAC?
