RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.

My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song

I just thought I'd say it like it is

Lyrics

I apply myself, trying to take control, trying to wipe things from my mind
to release this burden of memories, and to leave them far behind
but the echoes keep returning like a looping tape-cassette 
what am I to do ? when it comes to you, I cannot forget

I determinedly try to set directions, but they lead me who knows where
when I try to look to the future, all I see is you're not there
and a sun that's stopped in heaven without movement does not set
what am I to do ? when it comes to you, I cannot forget

with every day that's lonelier and longer
and every hour the memories grow ever stronger             

in vain I search for strength and reassurance
to quell the hurt of memories beyond endurance

I delude myself that something will change, such that I conceive a lie
where I'm holding you in the present and you never said goodbye
but that dream is rudely broken when I wake up to regret
what am I to do ? what am I to do ?
when it comes to loving you, I can't forget
