lyrics

Love
Some reached to the past for human connection and even love. It didn’t work out.

Two Years Later

Lyrics by Paula Jeanine Bennett

“just when i had thought i was free
of the memory of that golden september
just when i had thought you were gone
you returned to disturb my heart

just when i had thought it was time
to abandon the past to live for the moment
here you come with hope in your eyes
knowing me all too well

some say it’s a rainstorm
some say that it’s fire
some say that i’m better off
you say here we are

just when i had thought i was free
of the sense of your touch an era behind me
just when i thought love was a dream
an intangible thing, you’re here”

Musical Notes: The sax knocks on the door and the piano answers.
A sumptuous melody is played by unaccompanied sax in the languorous Ben Webster style followed by piano in the languorous r&b style. Eventually the two meet. It’s a stormy reunion.
