Description
This is the song I mentioned when I posted my last song 'Lost Loves Lament'. I'd begun this song and it turned into the other in some strange way. Well this one is basically the same chord structure and it didn't make it easy, so by the time it was finished I was really getting the blues LOL. At the point it's now at, I gave up in desperation and unable to add anything else, so I hope it comes up to the mark.... though it's a very slow blues.... almost a 'torch song' I guess.

Lyrics
The Hardest Thing
Sometimes I feel that life is passing me by,
Sometimes I ask myself if I’ve lived a lie,
Why did I think that loving you was so right
When all you brought were sleepless nights?
You had me fooled; had me pacing the floor,
Thinkin’ each moment, you might walk through the door.
Moments were like hours and hours turned to nights,
While you danced away the night, sharing your delights.
Whoah!Blues came and got me when you never came home,
I wasted hours, just sat by the phone,
The hardest thing that I had to do, was have to say goodbye to you,
And all the time I loved you, but you never knew,
That all you ever wanted was at home and feeling blue
Yes, All you ever wanted, was at home and loving you.
(Instrument)
Who-o-o-oa!You were just foolin’ but I was the fool
You thought it was funny just treating me cruel….
(Instrument)
It turned out, I was that fool.
Wo-oah! Blues come and get you if you leave it too late,
And it seems I found out just in time,
But the hardest thing that I had to do, was have to say goodbye to you…
All the time all the time I loved you, but you never knew,
That all you ever wanted was at home and feeling blue
Yes, All you ever wanted, was at home all the time and loving you.
Loving you.
Sometimes I feel that life is passing me by,
Sometimes I ask myself if I’ve lived a lie,
Why did I think that loving you was so right
When all you brought were sleepless nights?
You had me fooled; had me pacing the floor,
Thinkin’ each moment, you might walk through the door.
Moments were like hours and hours turned to nights,
While you danced away the night, sharing your delights.
Whoah!Blues came and got me when you never came home,
I wasted hours, just sat by the phone,
The hardest thing that I had to do, was have to say goodbye to you,
And all the time I loved you, but you never knew,
That all you ever wanted was at home and feeling blue
Yes, All you ever wanted, was at home and loving you.
(Instrument)
Who-o-o-oa!You were just foolin’ but I was the fool
You thought it was funny just treating me cruel….
(Instrument)
It turned out, I was that fool.
Wo-oah! Blues come and get you if you leave it too late,
And it seems I found out just in time,
But the hardest thing that I had to do, was have to say goodbye to you…
All the time all the time I loved you, but you never knew,
That all you ever wanted was at home and feeling blue
Yes, All you ever wanted, was at home all the time and loving you.
Loving you.

What a great torch song indeed! In a strange way it reminds me of a David Bowie song "Wild Is The Wind' and that ain't a bad thing! I think it's the keyboard melody running through. (Check it out - you'll like!)
It's a difficult thing to pull off a slow number like this and keep it interesting, but I was right there 'til the end. Which by the way, is a masterwork in how to pour a large shot of the blues (one for the road directly after the break). Strongest Moviz song in a long time.
Hope all is well - another DL & straight to iPod for me!
Cheers, Mo,
Jim
