[verse 1]
The good times aren't as bad,
memories come floodin' back.
hard ones, that make me sad,
they hide deep, in the cracks.
[verse 2]
Simple thoughts, into a song,
happy times, just flow along.
Tears an' pain, live through again,
hurt most, drive me insane.
[chorus]
The anguish in the love songs,
I sit an' write them, for you.
Some, just come to me easily,
others, there's pain in what I do.
[verse 3]
Memories sail into my mind,
they're the nice kind.
Thoughts of both of us,
fade away like the dust.
[chorus]
The anguish in the love songs,
I sit an' write them, for you.
Some, just come to me easily,
others, there's pain in what I do.
[verse 4]
Words, bound the promise,
love, that was the premise.
The strength, to get through,
I needed nothin', only you.
[chorus]
The anguish in the love songs,
I sit an' write them, for you.
Some, just come to me easily,
others, there's pain in what I do.
[bridge]
One day, I'll sing my songs for you,
the melodies will carry us away,
Every line, you'll know, is part of me,
those times, the songs of yesterday.
[final chorus]
The anguish in the love songs,
I sit an' write them, for you.
Some, just come to me easily,
others, there's pain in what I do.
[outro]
My love songs, are the memories,
that age, can't take from me.
close my eyes, an' listen to them,
I'm in heaven, again with you.

My first thought was: what an intriguing title! So it's got that going for it right off the bat.
A little self-referential: a song about writing love songs. I like it, gives it an angle.
There's an up and down to the emotional mood that gives it a nice dynamic.
And that last line: "I'm in heaven, again with you." gives a real twist in the tail.
I don't think AI has quite nailed the music for this one. The mood is right but the melody feels a little constrained.
Good write!

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I have little to no interest in the musical side of my songs, {not a musician}. I view that side only as a vehicle to deliver the lyrics. Hardly surprising that musicians may cringe at some of my selections but I do try to avoid extremes of musical faux pas.
