Music and Lyrics

I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy, which is what Netflix is good for.  That and wiling away the long winter weekends that we are still afflicted with, even though we're halfway through April.  I think Mother Nature missed that memo.  Anyway, I recently watched Music and Lyrics, a delightfully breezy comedy starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.  There's a song that Hugh Grant sings that caught my attention.  I'm not sure why, but these lyrics really resonate with me.

"It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody.
But this time there's actually something on my mind,
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines.

Since I met you, my whole life has changed.
It's not just my furniture you've rearranged.
I was living in the past
But somehow, you've brought me back,
And I haven't felt like this
Since before Frankie said, 'Relax."
And though I know,
Based on my track record,
I might not seem like the safest bet.
All I'm asking you
Is don't write me off just yet.

For years I've been telling myself the same old story,
That I was happy to live off my so-called former glory.
But you've given me a reason
To take another chance.
Now I need you,
Despite the fact that you've killed all my plants.
And though I know
I've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get,
All I'm asking you
Is don't write me off just yet."
