"The Stroke of Midnight" another generic song about love...
Tell me,
Do you remember the time?
When we were younger and I could do no wrong in your eyes,
But first I’ll say that I’m a little surprised
That I could admit this because of my pride,
It’s pretty amazing what a few years can do
You can go to sleep a King and wake up the fool
And I’ve only ever wanted what was best for you
I just thought you could have been best for me too
Some days feel like weeks
And I’ve been here for months
The nights last forever since the sun won’t come up
But I’m holding onto you and what could have been
The Past won’t catch up cause its wheels don’t spin….
Its time to go home now
Everyone’s leaving
The castle is barren, the ballroom is empty
I just wanted one more dance with you,
But it seems midnight just came way too soon.
“I miss you” doesn’t really say what I mean
Nobody just gets over a pristine beauty queen
And you never really cared for the pageants or fashion
But still had the makings of a Hollywood classic
Of course, you always preferred the stage lights
Where we both thought, we could make it with a chance and a mic
But I’d give up the guitar, and the stage, and those dreams
Cause I could never trade your touch for those cold steel strings
And yeah, I understand everything that would mean,
But your voice and your laugh are the only music I need
Its time to go home now
Everyone’s leaving
The castle is barren, the ballroom is empty
I just wanted one more dance with you,
But it seems midnight just came way too soon.
Tell me you remember, if you ever look back
When we thought, we had our fairytale within our grasp
for once the whole world had agreed with my plan
and when I held you, the sun was in the palm of my hand
But it burned too bright, too soon, and too fast
And I couldn’t contain it, so we both burned to ash
I talk too much and I overreact
I think I’m so smart, but ignore the fact
And think how I’ve put myself in this place
But I promise you this if ever comes the day
When you decide that you want to come back to me,
With every fiber and ounce of my being
I won’t take you for granted, won’t ever abandon,
Always hold your hand so that you’ll never have to
Question how much you mean to me,
Never wonder your worth, never doubt your esteem
And maybe things will be as good as they seem
But of course, this all just in my fantasy
The reality is I’m still here by myself
The magic ran out, and the clock struck 12.

Isaac! I am curious, is there an MP3 of this song? Just wanted to know if I could hear it or if it is just a lyric you want us to look at? Let us know!

I have written music for this, but its not recorded. For now just a lyric evaluation is what I was looking for.
