Too Much

It’s a Pity
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–18-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

[Verse 1]

Lead:
Girl, you know I tried to make you see,
You’re the only one that means the world to me.
But love can fade like the evening sun,
When hearts play games, and nobody’s won.

Background (soft “oohs” building):
Ooh… yeah, yeah…
Nobody’s won… nobody’s won…

Lead:
Now I’m standin’ here, alone and blue,
Dreamin’ of the things I used to do with you.

Background (echo):
(With you, baby… with you, baby…)

Lead:
It’s a shame, it’s a cryin’ shame,
Love’s the fire, but I took the blame.

Background:
(Oh, what a shame… mm-hmm… love’s to blame…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Lead:
It’s a pity, baby, oh, it’s a pity,
We let love slip right through our hands.

Background:
(It’s a pity… such a pity…)
(We let it slip away… oh, baby…)

Lead:
It’s a pity, honey, oh, what a pity,
We forgot what the heart understands.

Background (layered):
(It’s a pity, yeah… oh, such a pity…)
(Heart understands, but love demands…)

⸻

[Verse 2]

Lead:
I see your face in the midnight rain,
Hear your laughter in the sweet refrain.
We had a rhythm, girl, we had a song,
But the beat went quiet when it all went wrong.

Background:
(Ooh, had a song… yeah, had a song…)
(Oh, but it all went wrong…)

Lead:
Now I walk these streets where our dreams used to shine,
The echo of your love still walks in time.

Background:
(Ooh, walks in time… still walks in time…)

Lead:
Every step I take, I hear your name,
Darlin’, it’s a pity — ain’t love a game?

Background:
(It’s a pity, such a pity…)
(Love’s a game, love’s a game…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Lead:
It’s a pity, baby, oh, it’s a pity,
How we lost that sweet harmony.

Background:
(It’s a pity, ooh, such a pity…)
(Lost our harmony, yeah…)

Lead:
It’s a pity, honey, oh, what a pity,
When forever turned to memory.

Background:
(It’s a pity, what a pity…)
(Oh, forever turned to memory…)

⸻

[Bridge – Call and Response]

Lead:
I gave you my heart, my soul, my all—
Background: (You gave it all, yeah, you gave it all…)
Lead:
But love came tumblin’, love came to fall—
Background: (Love came tumblin’ down, oh, yeah…)
Lead:
Now I’m wishin’, baby, wishin’ you’d stay—
Background: (Wishin’, wishin’, wishin’ you’d stay…)
Lead:
Before our dreams fade away…

Background (full harmony swell):
(Away-ay-ay… away-ay-ay…)

⸻

[Final Chorus]

Lead:
It’s a pity, baby, oh, it’s a pity,
How we let that love slip away.

Background:
(It’s a pity… ooh, such a pity…)
(Love slipped away… love slipped away…)

Lead:
It’s a pity, honey, oh, what a pity,
When the sunshine turned to gray.

Background:
(Oh, sunshine turned to gray, yeah…)
(It’s a pity, such a pity…)

⸻

[Outro – Fade Out]

Lead:
Oh, darlin’, it’s a pity, yeah…
Background: (It’s a pity… such a pity…)
Lead:
Wish I could hold you once more…
Background: (Hold you once more… yeah, yeah…)
Lead:
Girl, my heart’s still at your door…
Background: (Knockin’, knockin’, knockin’…)
Lead:
Oh, it’s a pity… yeah… yeah… yeah…
Background (fading):
(It’s a pity, such a pity…)
(Love slipped away, ooh, baby…)
(It’s a pity… yeah…)


Ain't Nothin' Gonna Change My Mind

The Night Belongs to Lovers
© 2025 R3Zondo

streetlights hum while the city sighs
two hearts burning under silver skies
every shadow fades, every clock unwinds
when your hand keeps finding mine

the night belongs to lovers, the world slows down
we’re weightless dreamers, no fences, no bounds
the night belongs to lovers, just hearts unbound
just you and me where the lost get found

moon spills truth on a reckless kiss
every broken yesterday leads to this
no maps, no plans, just a breath, a spark
two wild hearts rewriting the dark

the night belongs to lovers, the world slows down
we’re weightless dreamers, no fences, no bounds
the night belongs to lovers, just hearts unbound
just you and me where the lost get found

let the hours fall like rain on fire
let the stars bear witness to desire
nothing holy, nothing planned
just your heartbeat in my hands

the night belongs to lovers, this fleeting time
forever burning in your eyes and mine
the night belongs to lovers, just hearts unbound
just you and me where the lost get found

(Summary)

This song is about those rare moments when time slows down and love takes over, no distractions, no barriers. I wrote The Night Belongs to Lovers, as a reminder that even in a world that feels chaotic, there’s still room for connection that feels timeless. It’s about two people finding their way back to each other, night after night, in the quiet spaces between words.
