By The Time I Finish This Song
I was doing a solo act in a bar one night...
Bar tender’s looking over
It’s a quiet night
He’s got his ears on me
Lost in this melody
As I sing the story
Couple in the corner
On a first date
It looks like chemistry
They talk a lot and stare deep
Listening to my melody
Whoa a woh oo ooo oo oo
By the time my words are sung
He’ll be remembering what went wrong
And they’ll be dreaming on a tune
To see their new love through
Old love gone new love strong
By the time I finish this song
By the time I finish singing this song
Another time another past
Another chance to make it last
I’m singing in a memory
We sat there for the first time
And felt the chemistry
We both dreamed of new love
By the time the guitar player was done
Whoa a woh oo ooo oo oo
By the time his words were sung
I can’t remember what went wrong
While we went dreaming on a tune
To see our new love through
Old love gone new love strong
By the time he finished that song
By the time he finished singing that song
Another time another past
Another chance to make it last
Break
Take my hand forget the past
Take a chance and make love last
By the time I finish singing this song

"By the time I finish singing this song" is a great title and hook, and it makes for a good story too.
I really like the chorus, but the melody in the verse feels a bit indistinct and doesn't stick in my mind afterwards.
Good strong ending.
Good track overall.

I like the arrangement here - great guitar sound and great vocal mix. The chorus is the stand-out melodywise, while the verses hold their weight telling the story. Will be digging into your other posts as well!
