Perhaps most won't be able to relate to this one...but this happened to me just this past week. As I was telling my friend for whom I wrote the last song about this incident, I could tell that a new lyric was ready to bubble up. Good thing I have a lenient boss who lets me work late to make up for these occasional creative moments during the day. [Linked Image]

Any thoughts or suggestions about how to improve this will be appreciated.

You Were There
© 2004 Bobbie Gallup ASCAP

One of those Monday mornings
Raining like a shower massage
Traffic seething at a standstill…
Trucker lost his load of logs

Urgent errand in the city
Can’t find parking in this mess
Forgot my umbrella and got soaked
Ruined my new suede dress

Elevator took forever
Hardly noticed who got off
Hurried inside and pushed the button
And my heart felt like it stopped

CHORUS:
Cause you were there
In that moment
In that tiny enclosed space
You were there
In the fragrance
That softly touched my face
You were there

I wanted to tell that stranger
How much that moment meant
But I knew I’d never find him
Didn’t know which way he went

But back down in the lobby
I saw him standing there
He prob’ly wondered why I smiled
But I really did not care

CHORUS:
Cause you were there
In the moment
As that elevator rose
You were there
In the fragrance
Of your favorite cologne
You were there

BRIDGE:
It was just one small reminder
That your love is still with me
In unexpected moments
Come the sweetest memories

CHORUS:
Cause you were there
In the moment
As that elevator rose
You were there
In the fragrance
Of your favorite cologne
You were there

You were there...echoing to a fade

They'll tell you success in the music biz is all about who you know...but the truth is...it's about who knows you.
