Topic: Sadly, this song is true
A little over a year ago I wrote the song " Tears in Our Eyes "
Today I was reading the news and this article about a young couple with three children from Wellington caught my attention. As I was reading the article, my mind immediately drifted to the words of that song.
this is the link to the article: http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/what … spartandhp
Unfortunately, it is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking as I wrote the song . I feel so terrible for the lady......
just a reminder to never go to bed with "Tears in our Eyes"
Phill did, at least what I think was, a wonderful performance of it. Here is the link to it on soundcloud in case you have never heard his version

[C] got the same old [G] jobs , just a different [D] day
[G] House needs [D] cleaning and the lawn needs [Em] mowin’
[C] Seems you’re always [G]coming whenever I’m [D] goin’
[G] Bills are on the [D] table stacked a mile [Em] high
[C] love to see a [G] movie but we don’t have the [D] time
[G] The kids keep us [D] busy running here and [Em] there
[C] I'd love to be with [G] you, but I don’t know [D] where

[Em] If we knew that we’d [C] never see each other a [G] gain

[Em] Well you never [C] know what to morrow [G] brings
so Honey [C] let’s never [G] sleep with tears in our [D] eyes
[eoc]
[G] well life can be [D] cruel and make you [Em] cry
[C] full of broken [G] dreams that all seem to [D] die
[G] remember our [D] love will always gets us [Em] through
[C] ain't nothing [G] coming 'tween me and [D]you
