This is my first contribution to the Xtra Styles competition (content copied from the original post but I have also added the lyrics here).

Hardly Ever

I created this song using _CACTUS.STY (Cactus Songwriter Country Waltz) from the Xtra Styles pack.
I was looking for inspiration for this competition and didn't have to audition many of the new styles before my writers block became unblocked smile

Added my vocals and my guitar afterwards.

Lyrics:

Well I never miss you
Or the things that you do
No I never miss you
Hardly ever

The laughter, the tears
The golden years
Don’t think of them much
Hardly ever

There’s never a day
I don’t think of the way
That you made me feel deep inside
The spark that we had
I could never feel sad
About what we had, hardly ever

It was only by chance
That we found romance
Don’t get lucky much
Hardly ever

Now I wish you were here
It’s you I revere
I had nothing to fear
Hardly ever

The roll of the dice
Took you from my life
With you by my side we were strong
There’s no second chance
But the love that’s inside
Will survive forever and ever


Enjoy!
