What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

DAUGHTER

Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see
Just bide your time so your heart will be free
To find the one
Girl, you don't have to run

Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style
Just some folks every once in a while
Don't understand
How this world was planned

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is coming your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly coming to stay

Daughter (daughter), I know it's hard to make yourself wait (yeah)
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is coming your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly coming to stay

Daughter, I know it's hard to make yourself wait
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by
And steal your heart away
