week 8 "single"
one of my discarded ideas from week 7, rehashed, and reworked.

lyrics
Verse 1
I didn’t fall in love at 17
with a cheerleader or a homecoming queen
these things didn’t matter- clothes- old or new
or the people you ran with, as long as I had you
Chorus1
As long as I had you
The world kept spinning
long summer days were always at the beginning
As long as I had you
Verse 2
I didn’t fall in love back in my 20’s
with a college girl who’s only looking for money
These things didn’t matter- you car or your shoes
Or what was in your apartment, as long as I had you
Chorus 2
As long as I had you
the nights seemed longer
with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger
As long as I had you
Verse 3
I didn’t fall in love when I was in my 30’s
with anyone else cause I was still flirting
with the one I found back when I found you
I’m gonna keep holding on so I’ll have you
Chorus 3
As long as I had you
The world kept spinning
long summer days were always at the beginning
As long as I had you
the nights seemed longer
with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger
As long as I had you
As long as I have you
