Okay, in full disclosure mode, I'll admit this is a song I wrote a while back, but it seemed to fit the topic for the week:
Wasted Years
I wish I had the answer to
The twist of fate that brought me you
You are a ray of light
I though the years were long since gone
I was resigned to live alone
I gave up that fight
There was no comfort in my past
To make me think that love could last
You kissed away my angry tears
I wasted far too many years
I wish that I could understand
What convoluted cosmic plan
Set my sites on you
That after years of restless pain
I could start to love again
And the source was you
We had both been through the wars
And you have seen my battle scars
You kissed away my angry tears
I wasted far too many years
I know now that you're here to stay
And I promise I won't go away
This was meant to be
And every morning my first sight
Will be your face bathed in the light
Of your love for me
I never thought that I could feel
I know now that this love is real
You kissed away my angry tears
I wasted far too many years
I wasted far too many years
I wasted far too many years
Without you.
Kathy Reichert
Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.

I like the "twist of fate" and "convoluted cosmic plan" ideas.
If you want to throw in another . . .
I wonder if it was destiny
That was the cause of bringing you to me
(Maybe it was destiny
Responsible for bringing you to me)
Maybe it was an inevitability
or a simple mathematical probability
OK, now I'm getting silly . . . no more wine for me . . .
Looking forward to hearing it, Kat.

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Fits the assignment just fine, I reckon. I'm guessing, though, that you reckon there's still a bit of work to be done on this? Otherwise you'd have had an MP3 recorded by now....which, as always, I'll look forward to hearing.
:D :D :D
