Story Behind the Song
I started writing this song in 1993. Moved on & put it on the shelf. Then in May 2002 I wrote the Middle Eight section of the song & it suddenly all gelled.
Hmmm... 9 years to write a 3 chord wonder. Better keep my day ("night") job!
Lyrics
WE HAD OUR GOOD TIMES
Words & Music by Steve Maher (c)1993-2002
V1 So it's over now, we don't get on any more
It's a peck on the cheek & a nod at the door...
CHORUS -----
But just you remember, we had our good times
I remember, you can't take that away
V2 Once our love was right, bright as a summer's day
Then came the storms, & it faded away
CHORUS
MIDDLE -----
I just couldn't see (I just couldn't see)
& you wouldn't listen (no no no...)
& when I fell down you just had to keep on pushin'
At least I kept my dignity...
V3 We flew among those clouds, we never had a plan
I knew that in time, we'd have to land...
CHORUS (X2)
OUTRO -----
Always remember, (always remember)...
You can't take that away, ooh...
