That Wasn't In Our Plans

This is one I wrote back in 2012 using BIAB 11.5. As most of you know, my vocals leave a lot to be desired, but I think this one turned out half-way decent. But you can be the judge of that.

I intentionally wrote the lyric about reflecting on the agony of a good love gone bad, rather than the reason the relationship fell apart. Dealing with the grief of love lost is a separate set of dynamics from the cause. I chose to focus on the former rather than the latter in this song. All comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance for the listen. Ya'll be safe out there!

I no longer have a list of the RTs as the files were on a computer that bit the dust many years ago. That was before I was smart enough to keep a copy on an external drive. But, it's all BIAB other than the vocal.


That Wasn’t In Our Plans – Alternate Lyric
© 2012 Alan D. David, BMI

(v1)
We talked about all the years ahead
And we ignored what the all doubters said
We partied on the beach, Casablanca later on
We owned the world till everything went wrong

CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn’t in our plans

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

(v2)
Our dreams were big we wanted everything
No holding back, take all the world would bring
Love filled the air, it hovered all around
Till one day it all came crashing down

REPEAT CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn’t in our plans

BRIDGE
Then right before our eyes it somehow fell apart
Miles between us now as we’re patching up our hearts

REPEAT CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn’t in our plans
