"It's Been So Long (Since We've Done This)"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
The sun goes to sleep, while the moon wakes up
As the trees slow dance in the evening breeze
On the porch we watch this town say goodnight
You take my hand and give it a small squeeze
Then you say:....

Chorus
It's been so long since we've done this
Just sit here on this old porch swing
holding hands and sharing a kiss
Years ago it was everything
It's been so long since we've done this
First moment alone in ages
'Cause now the house is filled with kids
And we've been through many faces

Verse 2
As the starlight starts to arise you say:
"They're beautiful, the stars, they're beautiful
We never just look at them anymore"
And I say; "You're right, might be possible
But it's cuz..."

Chorus

Bridge
Then you say:
Sitting here makes me feel young again
promise me it'll never end
Then under the rusty light I say
I promise this night will always stay
I promise you, I promise you...For

Chorus

Hmmm, not a bad song! I think it has a sweet message behind it, but the repetition of the word "beautiful" in..

"They're beautiful, the stars, they're beautiful"

sort of threw me off. Then again, it may flow better when put to a rhythm.
