Break up? I never considered it a break up song.
I'll google the lyrics when I get home.

[nikki1920]

I thought of it as a break up song..

Lyrics: Thanks, azlyrics.com
"Two Occasions"

A summer love is beautiful
But it's not enough
To satisfy emotions
That are shared between us
A winter love is cozy
But I need so much more
It just intensifies my wants
To have a love that endures

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right

An autumn love is special
At this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone
Does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I'm glad to say in my heart
I know my love's lasting

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

[HOOK 2 times]

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

[HOOK 2 times]

Wow! Y'all takin' me back with these break-up songs. Got me thinking about my first broken heart. I was a pitiful site, y'all. But I remembered some lyrics to a couple of songs I listened to during my extended pity party:

Can You Stop the Rain--Peabo Bryson:

Here's another morning without you.
Here's another day, will I get through it without breaking down?
Haven't seen the sun since you've been gone.
Like my heart, I lost it when you left me, and it can't be found.

How can I go on?
Baby, I've been living on memories of you and me.
All the love we made.
All those tender nights and those endless days--they're all here inside.
Baby, can you stop the rain from falling?....

--I know y'all remember that one.

The Deeper I Love--Regina Belle

I had my suspicions, but I had no proof that your love meant nothing.
So I kept on trusting you as I always had, and then I discovered.
I should follow my mind, 'cause my heart is not as smart.
It's gonna get in the way sometimes and...

The deeper I love, the harder I fall.
Takes longer for me to feel love again.
The deeper I love, the colder I turn
From someone who wants to me more than friends.

And even though I've cried and cried, I'm gonna live my life, and make it without you by my side.

Talk Show--Shae Jones

Who the hell you think you messin' with?
Tryin' to play me like a fool?
I overheard a conversation between your ex-girlfriend and you.
Then I saw it so clearly; suddenly it all made sense.
Before you go on explaining yourself, let me explain my evidence

No, that's not my shade of lipstick, nor my scratch marks on your back.
Is it her that you wanna be with?
You've got me involved in some talk show sh**

I made the bed before work this morning.
Come home later and there's new sheets on it.
You're gonna lose the one you're with.
You've got me involved in some talk show sh**.


I could go on, but I think I will stop for now.
