Story Behind The Song
The writer of these lyrics approached me to put music to these words back in 2000.
I think it's a strong musically throughout, but weak lyrically in places. There's something about the melody and arrangement that seems to give the lyrics almost a 'free ride'. ?

Lyrics
SOMETIMES 3:11
Words by Mary Hall Music by Mark Vincent Pence ©2000
V1
LOVE CAN BE AN ELUSIVE THING
LIKE SHADOW AND LIGHT FROM A FLICKERING FLAME
OR AN OCEAN TIDE DRIFTING IN AND OUT
A DREAM ONE CAN?T QUITE REMEMBER
SOMETIMES LOVE CAN BE FOREVER
CHO
CAUSE SOMETIMES SOMEONE COMES ALONG
A LOVE THAT GROWS BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG
DEVOTION HONEST AND SINCERE
A UNION THAT LASTS THROUGH THE YEARS
SOMETIMES
V2
GOOD RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD TO FIND
COMMITMENT MEANS LESS WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME
AND TRUE LOVE COMES TO A FORTUNATE FEW
BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO FIND ONE ANOTHER
THE EXPERIENCE IS LIKE NO OTHER
BRIJ
SO HOW EVER IT MAY SEEM
DON?T EVER GIVE UP THE DREAM
OF FINDING EVERLASTING LOVE
I
