There's a soundtrack to my life That shifts across the ages Symphonies and rhapsodies To record all of the stages
The simple joys of childhood Before I knew how much was wrong The dark years left unspoken Can be found all told in song
The elation of my first love When breathless tempo quickly rose Warm summer nights, young limbs entwined Reflected clear in rhythmic prose
Crazy nights with crazy friends This playlist tells it all Some tunes were written to make amends- Others to mark my fall.....
Heartbreak? Too many to mention- Some I took and some I gave.... An interlude of grief Expressed within a stave
My Desert Island Disc, however Is always saved for you The music that taught me when love dies- It's still possible to pull through
So even now that you are gone And the depth of loss has maimed me The band will still play on And I know this is what will save me
A melancholy tune Written to soothe my wretched heart Will fade away too soon- When I make a fresh new start
Through the soundtrack of this lifetime Please know, that though we walk apart No matter what the music You are always in my heart.
