I Took Love For Granted © Gabriel R. Martinez 2017
V I When I saw how long a while It took to find words to say To light your face up in a smile I didn’t spare the time to stay I let the moment pass me by I drove off to my working day
Ch I took love for granted when I reached a fork up on the road And turned away from you Without a second thought as though You’d still be there to return to I took love for granted then
V II Had I stopped from time to time I would have seen the things you do To pave my way or make me shine My “Thank yous” were overdue And as I look back I find They turned to waste as IOUs
Repeat Ch I took love for granted when I reached a fork up on the road And turned away from you Without a second thought as though You’d still be there to return to I took love for granted then
Bridge Now forks are few and far between Do I even know what love means Perhaps I’m getting wise It’s not too late to realize
Repeat Ch
Coda Oh how I took love for granted then

A good Lyric I particularly like the last two lines of verse 2. Travis
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde

Thanks Travis. I decided to re-write it though. I hope the revision makes it better. I Took Love for Granted © Gabriel R. Martinez 2017

Ch I took love for granted when I started losing sight of you In chasing the end of a rainbow I was slowly letting go How little did I know How far apart we’d grow I took love for granted then
V II Had I stopped from time to time I would have seen the things you do To pave my way or make me shine My “Thank yous” were overdue When I fell too far behind They turned to waste as IOUs
Repeat Ch I took love for granted when I started losing sight of you In chasing the end of a rainbow I was slowly letting go How little did I know How far apart we’d grow I took love for granted then
Bridge Perhaps I need to pay the price But before you say goodbye I must apologize Only now I realize
Repeat Ch
Coda Oh how I took love for granted then
