Lyrics
SKIPS A BEAT

I
I was dreaming I was half a soul,
like the myth of Androgyny.
I was searching over land and sea 
for the other half of me.

I can remember when I stood there crying,
outside in the pouring rain.
I couldn’t tell where the raindrops ended,
and my own teardrops began!

II
When I awoke I felt the strangest sadness
down in the depths of my soul.
Come what might I knew I’d have to find you,
if i ever would be whole.

Then one day I saw you standing there girl,
like some bright epiphany.
The loving words that you spoke so softly,
made my poor heart skip a beat!

III
Our life together has had its ups and downs,
but your love I do not doubt.
I feel as though I finally have some clue
to what this life is all about.

When it seems the days are growing darker,
and the light seems to recede;
I turn my thoughts to your warm sweet love girl,
and my heart it skips a beat!

Yup!

Excellent lyrics.. kind of alternative meets Bob Dylan? This is my kind of love song.. not sappy.. in an alternative universe, you'd have been signing autographs. Kudos to the boys in the band

Hi'ya Joyce! I too am no big fan of sappy love songs.
"Alternate universe"? I suspect this IS my alternate universe.
Should I ask for a refund?

Pretty effective love song here.    Definitely a late 60's errie but super cool folk rock feel here, like a slightly heavier Moody Blues, without the mellotron.   Great work here.
