Not asking for a lifetime , only for one night
Searching for the right chords
That would make this song turn right
Not for a lifetime, but for a day
I’ll never ask if I should stay
Not for a lifetime, but for a day
That’s all I’ll ask
Then be on my way
From Main street to Montgomery
Listen to the motors roar
To tempt a sleeping heart to wake
I’d beat a footpath to your door
Talk with me awhile, see what time will bring
Not asking for a lifetime
Not asking for a ring
Walk with me awhile
Through a land of what might be
Not asking for a lifetime
Just have this need to be
And I’ll just go on believing
That one day I’ll find the key
That unlocks a hidden heart
That is longing to be free
I appreciate moderate constructive criticism

Even without hearing the notes I know that this is a beautiful song. The words themselves are music.

Thank you Ronda. Now that my arm and hand are out of the cast and on the mend I can work the music into this one
