I was trying to capture this feeling that I once had when I was in love with this woman where it was both cataclismic (SP?) and euphoric at the same time. Side story: My cousin came up to visit and we were going to do some recording and I wanted to have a bridge. I wrote the words and the music in about 15 minutes just before recording. Linda waited for me to finish. I ran through it once with her before she had it down.

HAVE YOU EVER been blue
HAVE YOU EVER been broken hearted
That's the way I feel since I met you
Look at what you started
HAVE YOU EVER watched the rain
From a lonely room in the early morning
Then you might know the pain
And have some idea of the longing
HAVE YOU EVER really loved
Loved like it would break you in two
HAVE YOU EVER really loved me
The way I always loved you
HAVE YOU EVER really cried
Cried so much you trembled
That's the way I cry for you
My heart is not so nimble
HAVE YOU EVER caught a train
Not knowing where it's going
Knowing your desire's in vain
But still it keeps on growing
HAVE YOU EVER really loved
Loved like it would break you in two
HAVE YOU EVER really loved me
The way I always loved you
Every night I must confess
All this love pounding in my chest
I'm just too blind to see the signs
There's just no way I'm going to make you mine
Maybe I'm a fool
But I feel so alive because of my love for you
