A year or two back a neat kind of a hook came into my head. I didn't get around to creating a story for it, and it just got stored away in the Dusty Diane Vaults.
Then more recently Kenny asked me if I had any suitable lyrics for his country project. I told him, "well I dont really write country songs, but how about this hook idea?"
one tear nearer to a heartache
one lie lingering in your eyes
one step further from forever
one kiss closer to goodbye
...and Kenny said something like "I reckon that will do pretty well"
So he came up with a couple of verses, and I threw in a middle verse and a bridge. Then he wrapped it all up in an upbeat melody and sizzling music track, and tied it with a ribbon of sparkly woohoos!
Hope you like it! :)
One Kiss Closer (To Goodbye)

Seems the stars don't shine as brightly
As they did when our hearts were on fire
And if I say that the embers are dying
Am I just preaching to the choir
Cause we're one tear nearer to a heartache
With one lie lingering in your eyes
One step further from forever
One kiss closer to goodbye
With the way this love is going
Why should we even try
When we're one tear nearer to a heartache
And one kiss closer to goodbye
You got secrets you're not telling
You got smiles but they're not for me
And this distance in between us
Is growing wider than the sea
And we're one tear nearer to a heartache etc
Do you know how much I really love you
Still I can't ignore something's wrong
We're a ship that's surely sinking
If all the trust that we had is gone
Baby don't let our bridges burn
Cause we're getting past the point of no return
And we're one tear nearer to a heartache etc
