The Modern Day Love Song, based on a True Story.
For this song, Ron acquired the services of a demo company to put music (and vocals) to his lyrics. I heard the song, minus drums and bass and offered my services. It’s a fun song that I think you’ll like
Lyrics by Ron DeFrain
Verse 1
I looked to the heavens; I looked to the stars
Searched in churches; I searched in bars
Bought them gifts, tried to be fun
Gave all my love, and affection
When all was said and done
I still stood as one
Chorus 1
I used to always hope and pray
That love would finally come my way
Now I don’t ask for help from above
Come on and join the latest buzz
‘Cause it sure ain’t like it was
I put my heart online, searchin’ for my Internet love.
Verse 2
I’ve reminisced with people, from way back when
Went out on blind dates, with friends of friends
Candlelight dinner and maybe a show
Wherever they wanted to go
There’s nothing I didn’t try
Now I have to, wonder why
Chorus 2
I used to always hope and pray
That love would, finally come my way
Now I don’t ask, for help from above
Come on and join the latest buzz
‘Cause it sure ain’t like it was
I put my heart online, searchin’ for my Internet love.
Bridge
Stood on the balcony in my red dress
Like a damsel, in distress
Waiting for my knight, in armor to come
Verse 3
An email came like never before
With all the things I’ve been looking for
A loving man made just for me
The way it was meant to be
I know this will be the man
To forever hold my hand
Chorus 3
I used to always hope and pray
That love would finally come my way
Now I don’t ask for help from above
‘Cause I found love, sweet, sweet love
It sure ain’t like it was
I put my heart online, finally found my Internet love.
Cause I found love,
Finally found Internet love
