NOTE: I've added some piano "instrumental only" songs on my music page. They are labeled as Piano in the title. Most are located towards the bottom of the page. Hi everyone! I'm a 49 year old part-time musician/songwriter with several years of various experiences. My ultimate goal is to have some songs published and recorded. All recordings of the songs were recorded with a simple cassette tape recorder. I'll try to keep the "News" section updated as things develop.

Story behind the song
I've had this song/words for many months (at least since December 2005.) I have struggled with the music - melody and chords...not getting it, but trying to change what is in my head and in this recording. I decided to finish it as it is....comments are welcomed.
Lyrics
I Let You Go Once Words and Music by David Derbes. Copyright © 2006 David Derbes daderbes@yahoo.com When we were in high school we had some good times. We were together just bout all of the time. I guess I was shy and so immature. What I didn’t know was that you wanted more. He came out of nowhere and he asked for a date. And then it was clear that I waited to late. You wanted something and I didn’t know. It hurt me so bad just to see you go. Chorus I let you go once, but never again. I failed to ask you and you went to him. And now that you left me and are in his arms. I let you go once, but never again. You had a big wedding and had yourself kids. You built a big house on the top of a ridge. It was a great life or so it did seem. Until he was caught with our high school queen. You gave me a call just to ask how I’ve been. I drove to your house and we talked way past ten. Well I wanted you and I told you so. I let you go once and now I won’t let go. Chorus (rev.) I let you go once, but never again. I failed to ask you and you went to him. And now that you left him and you’re in my arms. I let you go once, but never again. Bridge And now that I can call you mine. I’m gonna love you all the time. I’m ready for your lovin’ and some real good time. Chorus Ending Never again never again never again
