The Song I Didn't Write

[claire]

Well, I've never posted a song before but what the heck. Probably because I'm such a dingleberry when it comes to posting links! Feedback welcome Anyhow, this is a cowrite with Perry Smith. My lyrics, his melody and tracks. If this link doesn't work, I'll be reposting...THE SONG I DIDN'T WRITE(Claire Ulanoff/Perry Smith)I had a string of broken dreamsAnd a second hand guitarShe said she fell in love with meFor my restless poet's heartI used to play my songs for herWove my past in melodiesShe'd close her eyes, drift away and say"Wish you'd write a song for me"To me she'll always be... The race I didn't run, the fight I didn't fight I didn't follow through 'cause I was so afraid to try Should've found the words while she was in my life But she'll always be the song I didn't writeI thought if I gave everythingI might end up all aloneGuess my fears made a fool of me'Cause I'm here and now she's goneTo me she'll always be... (chorus) She didn't want a perfect man She only wanted me If I could do it all again I swear she wouldn't be… (chorus) I had a string of broken dreams And a second hand guitarhttp://www.taximusic.com/stream/179404/The Song I Didn't Write.mp3

Still couldn't access the link, Claire. However, I really like the hook, "but she'll always be the song I didn't write." Good stuff there...do you have your songs on your TAXI hosting page....sometimes that's an easier link to post. BTW, tell Perry that Chits said hello and that I hope he's having some good successes out there.

I can post from the PC at work but I just cannot get the mac to do what I want. Yes, the songs are all on my hosting page. I feel like some sort of congenital idiot when it comes to posting links...I'll send your hellos - he seems to be doing well.Claire

Hey Claire,I remember this song from Perry's web page, but I didn't realize you co-wrote it. I remember that it's a really, really nice tune, and now I know why. What else would you expect when you two team up?Cam
