YOU NEVER SAID A WORD

you showed me what these arms are for
and what a kiss could be
lessons on just how hard i could fall
were taught so tenderly
i know two hearts can beat as one
girl, you showed me how
you taught me all i know about love
but you left one thing out

   you never said a word about leaving
   you left me without a clue
   now that you're gone how do i go on
   what am i supposed to do
   how do i face losing you
   i don't even know where to start
   you never said a word about leaving
   or what to do with this broken heart

you never told me how bad it would be
when we went our separate ways
all that talk about forever
there was nothing on a heart that strays
you covered the subject from a to z
on all that love could be
but now that we're through
i know there's something that you
forgot to mention to me

   repeat chorus




Hope you enjoy it.
Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Hello Floyd,

Great song! Thank you for sharing. I'm impressed with your mix. Your vocals and backing vocals are balanced really nicely with the rest of the tracks.

Exactly

I will add I liked your harmonies also.

Every time you post a song I want to say "this is your best to date". How do you do it? You are a writing machine.

As Josie said "just beautiful"

Floyd,

Very good - the heartache in the lyrics is nicely offset by that very catchy chorus melody.
Great vocal and harmonies... and the crystal clear sound we expect from your work.

A great song Floyd, well scripted, the age old heartache when two drift apart.
Everything was out of the top drawer here. The harmonies spot on, the balances vocal to instruments, was perfect.

Uh, Well, Floyd, I assume you weren't going for Disco or Hip Hop, right?

And it wasn't rock, exactly, so that leaves....

Floyd Jane-Jack of all trades, master of ALL!! How's that for a turn of phrase? This is GREAT!!! Totally different than what I've heard from Floyd, except the craft which is always there in spades. This is a song that could (and should) traverse many styles. I think of "I could love you like that"-big hit in pop and country. A universal message, so crafted, so pleasant, so catchy. TWO big thumbs up (unless you count my big toes!) Another great effort Floyd!! Take care. Greg

Hello, floyd

Very strong song. Your vocal is so professional.
Acoustic Guitar at intro. is so nice.
Little reverb is favorable.
The combination of Drums and Percussion is very pleasant.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
