I sat down to write you a love song
Something made me feel this way
I won't know if it's the right song
Until I get to hear you say

You made me smile
Just hearing what you made for me
You took my heat
And set it high up in the trees     

It's just a love song
La la la la la
A one-on-one song

I'm feeling that it's been too long
Since my love for you has shown
I won't know if it's right or if it's wrong
Until I get to hear you say

You made me smile
For all the world to see
You took my heart
You took it away from me

It's just a love song
La la la la la
A one-on-one song

A Love Song

He thought that he had found the love of his life, but she doesn't feel the same about him. 

Here's the music video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EDBSSNQEpk
If the video gets at least 100 likes, I'll create a sequel.  At the very end of the video, it almost screams out as if to ask "what happens next?!"

And here are the lyrics:

The first second that I saw your face
I knew that there could be no one who could take your place

The first minute that I saw your smile
I knew that I'd found someone who has class and has style

The first week that we were close and it got real
My knees got weak and I fell and fell, head over heels

But when I said that I love you
You just changed, your mood turned
And then you shocked me when you said you don't love me in return

How could I have been so dumb?
How could I have been so blind?

Unrequited love, unreciprocated, and not returned
Unrequited love, unreciprocated, I guess I'll never learn

I thought you were the one
And dreams had finally come true
But when you woke me from the dream
The world returned to its dark shade of blue

Unrequited love, unreciprocated, and not returned
Unrequited love, unreciprocated, I guess I'll never love
 
Guess I'll never learn
Never learn
Never learn
When will it be my turn
My turn to find love

My turn to find love

Unrequited Love

Though they are breaking up, she's hopeful that they'll be happy someday, that the joy will come in time.  This is an alternative version of my song "Not in the Cards".

Here's a link to the music video for this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-uPoVhXqe8

Ahd here are the lyrics:

Time to go
We should be leaving
Time to take my hand
Dreams ended
when we stopped believing
Try to understand

The joy will come in time
We'll get the words to rhyme

Time to go
It is time to depart
At least we both tried
But we haven't the heart to continue
To go on
It's not in the cards
Not in the cards

To, from, him "en tai" 
We'll get the words to rhyme

Time to go
It is time to depart
At least we both tried
But we haven't the heart
to continue
To go on
It's not in the cards
Not in the cards

Not in the cards.

The Joy Will Come in Time

In February 2024 I composed a short instrumental song USING NO AI WHATSOEVER, and it's a pleasant enough song, but I was surprised by how many views it got on YouTube: over 8,000--which is a LOT more views than my typical music video.  If you'd like to see it, both of these links work: the two versions are just slightly different:

Don't Hate the Wait

A song saying that a couple's private life is for them and them alone to know the details of.

Alone in Our Cave

Last night on Earth

Sweet Love

I hope that there's no Heaven, no Hell
No place we go when we are gone
But if Heaven and Hell are real
I want the place where you are not
The place where you won't be
You won't be

If God cuts you a break and Heaven welcomes you in
Then God, please send me right down there to Hell
And on the off chance that I'm admitted to Heaven
Then I hope God sees what you have done
And sends you down there to the fires below

The last thing that I'd ever want 
Is to spend eternity with you
With you, the person who destroyed me bit by bit
You took the joy of living out of every day
And lets not even talk about those hurtful nights

Eternity is a long time
Eternity drags on
The last thing that I'd ever want
Is being with you forever

I know they say don't hold a grudge
I know one should forgive if not forget
And if the grudge is my demise, if God is the judge
Then Hell will probably be where I am sent

Eternity is a long time
Eternity drags on
The last thing that I'd ever want
Is being with you forever

Eternity lasts forever lasts forever
Forever is a very long long time
Eternity is not my friend, not my friend
And you are not my friend either, though you once were


Eternity

Fly Away Dove

lyrics by David Kroll


Here it comes again
That awful feeling
Sweeping me along
Taking me down

A tunnel with no light
No light at either end
Wish I had some hope
Wish I had some fight

Don't want to leave this place
But the urge is very strong
Don't want to end it all
And I pray help comes along

A fragment of hope
A morsel of love
A touch of another
A glance from a dove

Don't want to leave this place
But the urge is very strong
Don't want to end it all
And I pray help comes along

Don't want to leave this place
But the urge is very strong
Don't want to end it all
And I pray help comes along

A glance from a dove
From a bird, nothing more
That glance gave me hope
Thank you bird
Fly away

Fly Away Dove

BAD GIRL

The Day Before Yesterday

4/20/2025: I updated my profile to accept direct messages only from those that I follow. Most of the direct messsages were from people who heaped overly exaggerated flattery and praise on me, only to ask me to pay them to increase my popularity. And none of them have left similar comments at my songs so that all can see. Which makes me question their sincerity.
