This Song Will Never Be Finished

This song will never be finished
'cause I'm struggling with the words
Should the chords be diminished?
Should I write how it hurts?
Should this song be beautiful –
Like the memories of you?

My heart will never recover
From the flights of fantasy
And the fall from Love's glory
But if I could I'd start over
Over and over and over
For beginnings are sweet
And the ends should be too
But the 'coulds' and 'woulds'
And seldom the 'shoulds'
As if things meant to be
Must never be so
And so it goes...

This song will never be finished
For if I fail this one more time
Our romance will have a friend
So I'll stop after this line
Then our story need never...
