https://soundcloud.com/carroll-kiphen/the-girl-that-got-away-2Chris Wood/ Music and vocals ; Carroll kiphen/ Lyrics he girl who got away Verse She had long honey colored hair Had eyes like a summer sky. Her kiss was as delicious as A warm slice of cherry pie. We would take walks beside sea Leaving footprints in the sand. We were blind to the fact that fate Had already made her plans. Chorus It’s been quite a good life. Can’t say I can complain. But sometimes I still miss The girl that got away. The girl that got away. The girl that got away. Verse It’s hard to go from A to Z Without ever changing lanes. I’m not the man I was back then And I’m sure she’s not the same. What about my life and my wife, All the things I hold so dear? If she hadn’t gotten away I wouldn’t have now and here. Chorus It’s been quite a good life. Can’t say I can complain. But sometimes I still miss The girl that got away. The girl that got away. The girl that got away. Verse She’s on my mind from time to time And I hope she thinks of me. What we had we will always have But it wasn’t meant to be. There’s still a place inside my heart Where my love for her remains But I’d never trade what I’ve got For the girl that got away. Tag The girl that got away. The girl that got away.

Very nice collaboration, Kiph and Chris:
Enjoyed my listen and wish you success with "The Girl That Got Away." The title alone is a great "hook" but the artistry Chris brings to your lyric is darn near perfect.
Thanks for sharing, ----Dave

Carroll (and Chris),
You gents are on a roll! Also quite contemporary, with another great vocal by Chris. Reminds me of a Mat Kearny song, with a hint of Ed Sheeran. But Chris has his own sound, which makes this stand out.
If I were to offer a suggestion for you to consider, it would be this: Running at plus 4:20, given sound, tempo and song structure, I think it may benefit from a change-up somewhere along the line . . . take it up just a notch at some point to keep the listener on edge. One idea might be going near acapella at some point, with minimal music backing and extra harmony? Chris’s vocals could certainly pull it off. Just an idea, and one guy’s very, very nitty and subjective suggestion. It’s quite excellent as is.
Enjoyed it very much!

Right now we're just having fun. Not worried about finished cuts at this time. 5 songs in five days! In digging it while it lasts. You re still welcome to use my lyrics as well.
