MORE THAN THIS

[Intro]

Ooooh-oooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh-oooh

 

[Verse 1]

More sunshine than rain

More laughter than tears

More feel good than pain

More memories, more years

 

[Chorus]

There’s got to be

More than this

There’s got to be

More than this

 

[Verse 2]

Cooking and cleaning

Getting Botox

Working and scheming

To buy, which stocks

 

[Chorus]

There’s got to be

More than this

There’s got to be

More than this

 

Ooooh-oooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh-oooh

 

[Verse 3]

Waking and sleeping

Sleeping and waking

Fighting and screaming

The two-face faking

 

[Chorus]

There’s got to be

More than this

There’s got to be

More than this

 

Ooooh-oooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh-oooh

 

[Verse 4]

More sunshine than rain

More laughter than tears

More feel good than pain

More memories, more years

 

[Chorus 2x]

There’s got to be

More than this

There’s got to be

More than this

 

Ooooh-oooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh-oooh..

  • @HummerWisdom , there is, you just haven't found it yet :).. it will happen in the least expected ways.. very profound lyrics.. which I could write like this..

  • @bhengen Thank you, Bill. Appreciate your kind words. As for me and those of us who have a labor of love, I suppose it's not as hard to deal with the daily drudgery. At least in my case, it's true. I probably would've gone insane by now without songwriting.

  • @HummerWisdom - Your welcome, Renee.. Everybody needs some form of outlet.. Which, like you, i why I write what I write.. My writings may not be for everyone, which is ok, it's really about self-expression and staying true to yourself. Which is what makes your lyrics great, they always speak from the heart :)

    @bhengen yes, MOSTLY from my heart all except for the 'botox', lol! I suppose if I could afford it, I might but that's a HUGE might! And as you, too write from your heart, there's nothing more genuine nor can take its' place! 😊

  • @HummerWisdom - botox is the furthest thing from being true to yourself :) your writings have more of a broader appeal than mine.. yours are more relatable , mine are more like for the beatnik clubs of the late 50' ,early 60's :)

    Three chords and the truth right there maybe more. I've been working 7 days a week for months and sometimes the day to day mundane of it all starts scuffing up your soul so I def related to this one. Nice work Renee
  • @Barry thank you, Barry! I hope you find some time to relax and catch up with yourself over the holiday season.

    Many blessings in the coming new year,

    Renee

  • Renee, thank you, merry Christmas you you as well.
  • Very real and relatable Renee. Nice rhythm on the guitar too.

    By the way it's TSF (The Songwriters Forum) rather than SWF.
