Every Day

“Every Day”

Verse
Baby every day that goes by
I think of you and wonder why
Still I love you like no other
You always were (a) tender lover
But we had to say our goodbyes

Chorus
Every day I see you happy
Strangely, visions fraught with pain
I embrace them strongly, knowing
That I’ll never hold you again

Verse
You were out going I was shy
Worlds apart but we lived nearby
We made magic under cover
Every day that went by

Bridge
Therapist says you're good for me
But my husband has found us out
Stop now or things will get messy
We were meant to end from the start

Verse
When I learned you’d gone to the skies
(I) Shut myself in all day and cried
My love for you defies measure
You‘ll always be highly treasured
Every day that goes by

Chorus
Every day I see you happy
Strangely, visions fraught with pain
I embrace them strongly, knowing
That I'll never hold you again

Good rhymes.I thought for certain the third line was going to end with "guy".You threw me a curve ball,swing and miss!

Thank you Doug. This is an attempt to work with the rondeau form which I wanted to try out, having first learned about it only just a couple of days ago. I found it somewhat constraining due to what I think of as its rather strict rhyme scheme. So, the goal here was to adhere faithfully to that particular song form; I had recently read that the rondeau was making a resurgence in the country music charts. I'll tell ya, though, while it's nice sometimes to have a template to follow for guidance, in this case I felt...um, kinda handcuffed because the verses are supposed run: 15 lines total, as 3 stanzas of 5, 4, and 6 lines respectively, with the schemes being A-A-B-B-A; A-A-B-C; and A-A-B-B-A-C. Oh yeah, and each line is supposed to have eight, nine, or ten syllables. I stuck with eight throughout. I certainly wouldn't describe the rondeau as a flexible form...I guess they say that it's meant for ballads.

Wow,De,it sounded more like a math problem than a Song Lyric!!I personally only follow my heart(or gut)when it comes to songwriting.It's good to try different methods,I hope it works out in good songs.I seem to be too lazy to "follow a formula"but do whatever makes You happy.

Interesting song it really grabbed my attention some of the lines made me wonder, about the deepness of this song. Good rhyming as well that really helps the flow.
