The subject of the song actually cheated on me by the time I got round to finishing this song. Hence the ending x

lyrics:
it came and went
with a bang and a whimper
no money left to spend
all burned to a cinder
the wanderers are many
for we all are left to seek
according to some:
the earth inherited the MEEK

i've been thinkin
i shouldn't be here
and i've been dreamin
of a singing sphere
the world turned over
and laid on its back
survived the fires
but not the slack

they dredged the bayou
but they could not remember why
they thought it was just
a good idea at the time
when the world is buried
in the dust and the silt
some of us carry:
survivor's guilt!!

i've been thinkin (thinkin)
i shouldn't be here (be here)
and i've been dreamin (dreamin)
of a singing sphere (sphere)
the world turned over (over)
and laid on its back (back)
survived the fires (oh the fires)
but not the slack (no not the slack)

Lyrics
With You in My Life

Each day this life of ours keeps trying to put us down
I get down and out and lose my way
But there you are tugging on me keeping me afloat
Without you in my life I would surely drown

People in this life lie and cheat and make it hard to compete
We just keep going trying to do the right thing, not beat
Not beat, by lying or ruining someones life
We believe that if you keep doing right, eventually we will win

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me everyday is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

So here is another day, someone has tried to make it hard
What they don’t realise is that together we will fight harder
We will bring truth to our days and find a way
I know this because your love is shining the way

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

I want to thank you for being in my life
Our love is strong and we stay strong
Each day we are in there swinging in life
A love like ours will keep on living

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)
