I wrote this song so long ago that I can’t remember who or what is was about; probably about one of my first loves. I wrote it back in 1986 or so and re-wrote two lines in 2013 to fit the structure of the story better. Otherwise, it’s pretty much unchanged from how I originally envisioned it. For this particular recording, I overdubbed all instruments, playing both musician and engineer. I find it’s easier working this way since I don’t have to argue with the writers, musicians, or engineer for what I want. I always seem to agree with myself (insert sarcastic smile here!) I do remember the chorus/bridge was inspired by The Beatles' song 'Oh! Darlin''.
This is song #58.

lyrics

I Had A Love ‘Cause I Wanted To.
I Had A Wish That Seemed To Come True.
I Had A Dream That Was Good To Me.
And It Seemed So Careless And Free.

Then You Said You Loved Me,
But I Didn’t Believe.
And You Told Me Dearly
So I Wouldn’t Leave.

I Had A Mind That Always Was True.
Now There’s No Time For What I Must Do.
I Had A Girl As Fresh As The Air
I Had A Love For Me To Take Care.

Then You Left My Side
And I Started To Cry.
Then You Held Me Closer
And I Don’t Know Why.
And I Don’t Know Why.
And I Don’t Know Why. Oo!

about

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
