Got a letter from an old school friend.... Wanted me to know her life had been..so successful She's now the girlfriend of a millionaire.. It's so convenient, and his wife's not.. They're very careful..... Started thinking about the things she said,, Felt her hurt between the lines I read,, Then it dawned on me.............. She has a brand new car, a fancy home.. But every night she goes to sleep alone.. And I realized..that in her eyes.. The richest girl is me!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't take...All the tea in China... For just one minute of a night lying next to you... I wouldn't take...All the tea in China... There's not enough money..To buy what I share with you!!!!!!! Hold life with an open hand....leaving it room to grow.... |

very well written thoughts. my fav lines were: She has a brand new car, a fancy home.. But every night she goes to sleep alone.. intriguing title and chorus. i think this is a song (right?) or it at least as the potential to be one. i think it needs another verse... how does this letter finish?! sorry...just a LITTLE curious  great post. keep it up. < !signature--> We all got our demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. [This message has been edited by Ethan_Halo (edited 07-11-2000).] |

Hi Ethan_Halo...... Glad you liked it, and you guessed it. It is a song....usually all my work ends up with a melody. Uh, I play a lot of keyboard in this song, so it ended up with more lead and less words, but it was inspired by a real life experience with a snobby friend!! Thank you for your input........ I'm new to the forum and I really enjoy meeting folks here.... Hold life with an open hand....leaving it room to grow.... |

If the melody is as good as the words it will stand well Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Prometheus..... As always, your input is a welcome sight on this screen.....thank you.... Sudhir lyer..... Thank you for liking the song..... I have this song recorded into a midi file and if you want, I can email it to you. I will include the melody line, and will write the chords down for you. Let me know. This song seems to go over well here in Alaska....I think it's got a chance. ~~~Thank you both for your thoughts~~~ Hold life with an open hand....leaving it room to grow.... |
