You Made My Life a Song
Skeeter Davis · I Can't Believe That It's All Over (RCA Victor) [1973]
Remember the day we first got together
You were the rage in jeans and leather
I talked you into wearing your hair long
You never would do one thing without me
And you told the world you were mad about me
And you made my life a song.
Remember all the times we used to go walkin'
But what about the nights we spent just talkin'
I really could count on you when everything went wrong
Whenever I thought I just couldn't take it
You were right there to help me make it
And you made my life a song.
But now those days with you are suddenly gone
But there are so many good things to think about from now on
Like the crazy songs we composed the movies at Lowe's
Our high fashion clothes
The fun and the roses and you and through it all you make my life a song.
Been so long since we were together
But you'll be in my thoughts forever
I'll always have your mem'ry to call my own
And if your new romance starts to fadin'
Just come back runnin' and I'll be waitin'
Cause you made my life a song.
You made my life a song
You made a life a sweet and beautiful song...
