Found and Lost (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

[Verse]
Have you ever been to the beach
and something shiny catches your eye?
Then you find that it's just out of reach
and you watch it wash out with the tide

Pre-chorus
Well, that's me and her
No matter how hard I tried
She went and left me hurting
without a reason why


[CHORUS]
I find it hard to believe, how easily she could leave
After I done gave her all of me
Oh, lost and found, got turned around
there’s a price for love and my heart paid the cost
Oh, where in the world is that girl, 
I found and lost?

[Verse]
Stumbled upon her, wasn’t even looking
like nothing I’d ever seen
She was the lure, I’m the fish that took it
But she’s the one that got away from me

[CHORUS]
I find it hard to believe, how easily she could leave
After I done gave her all of me
Oh, lost and found, got turned around
there’s a price for love and my heart paid the cost
Oh, where in the world is that girl, 
I found and lost?

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, she’s the one that can’t be found
But I’m the one that’s lost…somehow

[CHORUS]
I find it hard to believe, how easily she could leave
After I done gave her all of me
Oh, lost and found, got turned around
there’s a price for love and my heart paid the cost
Oh, where in the world is that girl? Can you help me find that girl, 
I found and lost? I found and lost?

Found and Lost

I'm an old (75yrs) player from the '60s and '70s who gave er up to raise a family and build a company. After a very close friend of mine died of Cancer, I wrote a song about his life and that opened the door to getting back into music as a writer. Now I wouldn't stop for anything. Lifes too short and too many things need to be written about so future generations know a bit about the old folks.
Hope ya find one of two ya like, I had a ball doing them! Thanks
