Topic: What Love Can't Do

I wrote this song this morning, hope you like it
Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement.


What Love Can’t Do By Jim Kenyon



Verse 1


[C] Oh, the writing was there, [Am]right on the wall


But [F]who would ever think that [G]love could fall


[C]There was a time, yeah,[Am] there was a time


That [F] I was yours, and baby, [G]you were mine


.






Verse 2


oh,[C] the passion was hot, but our [Am]hearts grew cold


we [F]never thought that love could [G] ever grow old


we were [C]young and wild, full of [Am]foolish dreams


now [F] it's like we're falling apart [G]at the seams


.


Chorus


.


[F]if only we could forget the hard times we’ve had


and [C]get through the worst,take the good from the bad


but [F] words aren't enough, as we're finding so true


it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do


it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do


.


Verse 3



[C]oh, you don't think it'll come, can’t im[Am]agine the day


You [F] can’t know how you’ll feel, or [G]what you’ll say


yeah we [C] started a fire, that's grown to a[Am] raging storm


and now we’re[F] feeling lonely instead of[G] safe and warm


.


Verse 4


.




[C] oh, we looked for sunshine but all we[Am] got was rain


yeah we[F] ached for laughter but all we [G] felt was pain


we were [C] chasing a love we thought would [Am]never end


but now we [F] only have hearts that we can't [G]seem to mend


.


Chorus


.


[F]if only we could forget the hard times we’ve had


[C]get through the worst,and take the good from the bad


but [F] words aren't enough, as we're finding so true


it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do


it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do


it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do


yeah, it’ such a[G] shame to find out just [F]what love can’t [C]do

Trevor,
Thanks - retirement is good - getting used to it .
It actually is still a work in progress.  - not where I feel it is complete yet - lots of tweaking to go.  Usually wait til guys/ girls on here that actually know something about music smile give me their feedback.

Jandle  - Thanks Jan - I need to write a happy one soon ! smile
                   also - thanks for bringing back SOM !!
Jeff - Thanks for the kind words.

Re: What Love Can't Do

OK  as I said earlier - this song was a work in progress

I went through this morning and made quite a few changes. 
I changed chords and lyrics - I think it is much better and the music " fits better".

Let me know what you think - thanks
