(((((((((((((((this is my post from 2003.......totally forgot about it)))))))

I've always loved the concept though!


I got this idea from a Frasier episode last night. I'm only telling you this so that new writers can see where inspiration can come from if you're write it down when you hear it.

Dahne related a story to the DAd about her aunt who had a old dog that she hated. And Dahne asked her aunt.. why do you keep that old dog around if you hate it so much and her aunt replied "sometimes you just need another heartbeat around".

My mind went WHOA< and I wrote it down.. and this is what I have so far. It's rough, I"m sorry, I'm still trying to work out the perfect melody.

ANOTHER HEARTBEAT

V1
That baby was howling
and the whole house could hear
and it really sounded like
the end of the world was near

a cardboard box and a blanket
and the ticking of that clock
finally put that puppy to sleep
but I never forgot

CHORUS
the way another heartbeat
saved him from the dark
a basic instinct that sets us all apart
something we all want and need
just one thing
another heartbeat

V2
The baby was crying
\and the whole house could hear
I nver heard such misery
from a little girl

but when her daddy picked her up
and laid her on his chest
she stopped & I was shocked
the way I was back then then

CHORUS

bridge?

vERSE 3
He doesn't recocognize the woman
of his dreams
he held on longer with the pain
remembering
the love they shared , he just wouldn't let go
til she said.

'SOMETHING SOMETHING...

lol

3 DAYS later she had to confess at the gate
this is where I'm stuck...

The wife has to confess at the gates of heaven that she lied to her husband and said she would be ok... but she died 3 days later.. because his heartbeat was gone.

find a romantic loving way to say that(?)

this is not a test.. just wondered if you all had any input before I drive myself bonkers!!!
