1Hello! Happy new year! It's Jenn-chan formely known as "Kristina Toffland" This is the first song that I am submitting to the site. I hope you enjoy it.
This song is for a character in a new novel I've been writing called "To Yuuki." Boyd Warren breaks up with his longtime girlfriend Rianna DuPres when his dream of becoming musician becomes a reality. He's been dating her since highschool and he feels that it's time to try life without his highschool sweetheart. Rianna ends up going to Japan with her older brother because life is not working for in the United States and she ends up becoming a next door neighbor to her favorite Japanese Idol, Tanemura Yuuki. After Boyd sees the new life Rianna has, dating this idol, he realizes that he'd made a mistake leaving her, he tries to go to Japan and win her back.
This is the song Boyd dedicates to Rianna during a scene where she goes to watch him perform with new boyfriend, Yuuki.
"If"
Music and Lyrics: Jenn-chan aka Kristina Toffland
From the point of view of Boyd Warren
I never heard it when people said,
"You never know what you've lost until after you've lost it…"
But dealing now with the situation
You and I are in
Given another chance…
I wouldn't make that mistake
But you say now,
That it's too late…
And you're no longer beside me,
But I still don't believe that…
This is the end….
No more "could have been's"
Just dark lonely nights
Can't you hear my heart crying?
Yeah…
If there's one thing in my life that I still could change
It'd be the day I said "good bye"
I would know that you're more precious that material things
More than fame, or anything money can buy
It's been a few months since we went separate ways…
But I still hold the hope of another beginning
I didn't imagine I'd have to cross water
To get to you
But if that's what it's going to take…
You won't hear me complaining
Because you're the prize
I need in my life
And I want you to know it…
Not sure how I'm gonna show it…
But you will see
What you mean to me
If it's the last thing I do…
I'm going to see this through
If there's a moment in time that I could get back
It'd be the day you held me tight…
There's not a memory that can hold a candle to
The day we danced underneath that starlit sky
If you could see,
How I'm suffering
Would you come and save me….
Or would you just walk away
If you could see,
How I'm suffering
Would you come and save me….
Or would you just walk away
Walk away
If there's one thing in my life that I still could change
It'd be the day I said good bye
I would know that you're more precious than material things
More than fame, or anything money can buy
If there's a moment I time that I could get back,
It'd be the day you held me tight…
There's not a memory that can hold a candle to
The day we danced underneath that starlit sky
If there's one thing in my life that I still could change…
It'd be to be with you….
Oh yeah…
Please let me know what you think! Thanks! Jenn-chan
