FOR REASONS I’VE FORGOTTEN<\/span><\/h1>\n

by Desmond Kelly<\/span><\/p>\n

\"desmond<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The only reason I have taken it upon myself to bring to our readers & our valued eLanka “members”, certain “songs”, the “lyrics”, the “best” versions, plus the “writers” etc., etc., is because I want to “share” what I call “beautiful music” (of all types), vocal & of course, instrumental. “Solo” & Group\/Bands, & as I do not wish to say later, “for reasons I’ve forgotten”, I could not do this for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

It really does not matter how one feels, at any given moment, believe me when I tell you that MUSIC will always be a source of pleasure . Personally, I have music going on 24\/7. Good “Country Music” of the 80s & 90s genre, music, mostly American-Country, because of it’s wide variety, songs from the “Honky-tonks”, love-songs, cheatin’ songs, happy songs & sad songs, various tempos, various Artistes from all over the World, who go to America to “record”simply because they have the BEST-BACKING Groups in the U.S.A. While I am very proud to now be an Australian Citizen, as a “Song-writer”, I would have been much better advised to go to America, where I could have done extremely well, or so I’ve been told, with at least a few of the songs I have composed.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this particular song was not composed by me, although I would have loved to have written it. The lyrics “tell the story”<\/span><\/p>\n

“FOR REASONS I’VE FORGOTTEN”<\/span><\/p>\n

Written by Jamie O Hara\/Complimentary Lyrics by Trisha Yearwood\/ the two best versions onYou-Tube are the “solo” Trisha Yearwood & “duet” Trisha & Raul Malo of “Mavericks” fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

For reasons I’ve forgotten now<\/span>
\n We brought love to an end<\/span>
\n Ain’t it funny how, the little things<\/span>
\n Became so big, back then<\/span>
\n Damn the pride that makes me want<\/span>
\n To break, instead of bend<\/span>
\n For reasons I’ve forgotten now<\/span>
\n I lost my one true friend<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s lonely tonight<\/span>
\n Lookin’ back on yesterday<\/span>
\n Seein’ the fool I was<\/span>
\n Feelin’ the price I paid<\/span>
\n But, the funny thing about it is<\/span>
\n I don’t even remember<\/span>
\n Who was right, who was wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

For reasons I’ve forgotten now<\/span>
\n We brought love to an end<\/span>
\n Ain’t it funny how, the little things<\/span>
\n Became so big, back then<\/span>
\n Damn the pride thqt makes me want<\/span>
\n To break, instead of bend<\/span>
\n For reasons I’ve forgotten now<\/span>
\n I lost my one true friend<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, for reasons I’ve forgotten now<\/span>
\n I lost my one true friend.<\/span><\/p>\n
