From the recording Just Believe
Written 1998 - by Michele McNany
My nature is to see the best in everyone and even when a relationship is done, after time I reflect and recall the good times and happy memories that relationship had when it started. Now sometimes I should not have wasted good positive energy on those not worth remembering, yet often we tend to look back on life and dwell on different memories despite it all. There were a few times I lingered just a bit too long on a relationship that was not worth lingering on. Why do we linger on love?
Lyrics
Linger On Love – by Michele McNany
Loved a man he broke my heart
He was a player right from the start
I let him sweep me off my feet
A wild romance, two years passed
His wandering heart wasn’t built to last
I’m crying myself to sleep
Chorus:
Why do we linger so long linger on love,
Why do we linger so long linger on love, linger on love
I walk through a house aged in time
Tick and tock and the hourly chime
As the hand moves it’s way around
I try to sleep my thoughts are you
They turn into dreams that once were true
night slips to morning without a sound
Chorus:
Why do we linger so long linger on love,
Why do we linger so long linger on love, linger on love
Bridge:
Hey I just heard our favorite song
And it keeps playing on and on and on
Why do we linger
Why do we linger
Chorus:
Why do we linger so long linger on love,
Why do we linger when it’s so wrong, linger on love Linger on love
Looked through a window pane stone and glass
Steams up a corner where my breath just passed
My finger draws your face it fades
