Striking It Rich

Striking It Rich (Acoustic) - MP3

Music

it's in G, and relatively simple.

Lyrics

it was several years ago now oh
that day you took my hand
i haven't let it go
did you notice?  did you have that planned?
movies in the afternoon for two
the milk and cookies set
a little bit of rain
but the train knew just where i should get

i called you from a payphone with
the best two quarters i will ever spend

<chorus:>
if we strike it rich it doesn't even matter
we already have the things we need
a pair of pitter-patters
beating back and forth at the same speed
my cup runs over and over who
could ask for more than you

i admit you took me by surprise
despite my so-called smarts
what could i have done
to have won this lottery of hearts?
cereal for dinner because why
go out into the cold
our world was small and clean
and its queen was something to behold

you said "i can't stop thinking about you"
and then you took me in your arms

<chorus>
<chorus>

notes

this is a little song i wrote for megan for the third anniversary of our first "date". it's definitely a little cheesy and cutesy, but she eats that stuff up. i'm not thrilled to death with all of the lyrics (i wrote it on a tight deadline, so i think the second verse could use some refinement), but there are some parts i like.

there will be a more radio-ready pop version coming soon. had to do a proof of concept first. Gabemcelwain 11:23, 11 November 2008 (PST)
