Story behind the song
This is one of the first songs I wrote back around 1981-82, and also what I consider to be my most well-written. It originally was just the verses and choruses, but in the late 80's, when I was about to record a demo of it, I added the bridge. Drums were sequenced and arranged by Steve Michaelson. Believe it or not, I originally had Frank Sinatra in mind to sing this song when I wrote it! It was once shopped to Melissa Manchester by way of her hairstylist, but nothing ever came of it, which is OK, because I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of her singing it anyway.
Lyrics
Every night He sits at home and sometimes He wonders why He is alone He longs to much for the time When he will no longer die Inside A broken heart.... There was a time He reached inside his soul And saw a shining light He really tried, He reached out for the star That held the warmth of a love Oh, how he cried Those tears of joy Ohhhhh (Chorus) And life seems so much simpler When the feeling of love is there As the tender moments are past The moments of rest are held in peace In his life He's had no sense of worth Just dreams of happiness Those days are gone And nights are spent alone With a love so dear to his heart No time for tears Hold on to love Ohhhhh (Chorus) (Bridge) It's so hard to find a love in this world All one wants is a kind warm embrace And I know that when I look in your eyes I know that it's right There was a time....
