I wouldn't have bought a pickup if it wasnt for you joe thank you

I wrote these songs on my acoustic guitar over the years. Some of you may have heard versions of them here on Soundcloud. I realized that what I heard in my head, and the styles/genres the songs wanted to be in were beyond my capability as a musician. So I did two things. I put a band together, and using an online program, I uploaded my lyrics, and entered information as to how the song should sound/feel, what instruments to use, tempo, and mood.  The program  using my lyrics, and information I input created songs. There was a definite learning curve, and a LOT of songs got deleted before I started getting what was in my head recorded! I found another program that transcribed the audio to sheet music so the band could learn the songs. We are now in rehearsal, and I will be singing, playing some sax and flute in our live shows. Blessings and Balance, Ernest

A PICTURE OF YOU

Love Letters 
By Steve Foley

[Verse 1]
 I found our love letters tucked away,
 Folded corners, hearts gone gray.
 Every word still cuts me deep,
 Reminds me of the love I couldn’t keep.

[Pre-Chorus]
 It’s funny how the heart don’t fade,
 Still hears your voice in every song that’s played.
 I swore I’d move on, let it be,
 But your memory still gets the best of me.

[Chorus]
 Love letters — they don’t lie,
 Ink still bleeds though the years go by.
 Every line pulls me back in time,
 Love letters — yours and mine.

[Verse 2]
 I keep ‘em safe where the daylight hides,
 Tucked between the truth and the alibis.
 The paper’s worn, but your words still shine,
 A map back to a love that once was mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
 I laugh, I drink, I try to forget,
 But some hearts ain’t healed just yet.
 They burn slow, they never die,
 These love letters keep me alive.

[Chorus]
 Love letters — they don’t lie,
 Ink still bleeds though the years go by.
 Every line pulls me back in time,
 Love letters — yours and mine.

[Bridge]
 Some words heal, some cut too deep,
 Some we read and some we keep.
 I never meant to let you go,
 But I still write the things I can’t show.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
 Love letters — still in my mind,
 Echoes fade but the feeling’s fine.
 Maybe someday I’ll write one more,
 But this one’s yours — forevermore.
