Topic: My heart still cries

Love can leave a memory that no one can steal
but can also leave a pain that no one can heal


My heart still cries
Words and music by Trevor Scrivens

Verse
       Am
I'm haunted by our life
                  Fmaj7
Beautiful pictures in my mind
              G6                        G
Those moments lost in time
                                  Em
I shared only with you
                 Am
Now my world it stands so still
           Fmaj7
And I long to touch and feel
                 G6                        G
But Only fragments I can steal
                    Em
To get me through


Chorus
Fmaj7
Waking in the night
Am
I reach to hold you tight
       Dm7
My heart still cries
                         C
cries out for you
Fmaj7
Tears start to flow
Am
I don't want to let you go
             Dm7
No my heart still cries
                       C
cries out for you

Verse
Am           
When I close my eyes
            Fmaj7
Its like your there by my side
         G6                      G
Your smile shines a light
                         Em
In the darkest room.
              Am                       
But The man I was with you
               Fmaj7
Is left broken through and though
                     G6                   G
And there's nothing I can do
                      Em
To stop the gloom

Repeat Chorus twice

Outro 
                                      Am
I don't know what to do
                                     C
I don't know what to do
                                     Am
I don't know what to do
                                      C
I don't know what to do

Re: My heart still cries

Hey Trevor. This is a very well-written song. You captured the pain of many things that happen when love is lost or no longer there. I also liked your chords, very fitting for the heart-felt theme of the song. Touching performance as well. I heard it a different way in my head before I listened. Great vocals and musical arrangement. Very polished and professional sound in my opinion.  Well done!

Re: My heart still cries

ctech, well written, performed really well musically as well.  A touching song, of heartbreak and broken relationships and the hurt along with it.

Wow - I think this is awesome.
Love these lines  " Love can leave a memory that no one can steal
but can also leave a pain that no one can heal"

Well done my friend!

Re: My heart still cries

Thanks Jet for encouraging words much appreciated. Its not exactly how I want it but after so meny takes and mistakes I gave up. I think losing my father a few months back help write the song. As for the backing I can thank my korg pa3x Pro. Not me.

Re: My heart still cries

Thanks Jim
That sentence is not my words  but it helped to write the song.
May enter this in the uksongwriting contest I've got about 5 songs to enter if I  add this one.
