Liner Notes
Yet another wonderful lyric by @cindyrella that was begging to have music put to it. I really love the games analogy for life in the lyric. It was a lot of fun putting it together :)
Lyrics
Playing Games Words: @cindyrella Music: @songwritingzen
I first felt it with Twister When our legs came so close Then I think it was Checkers When I stacked them up in rows
Seems we played everything Monopoly and Chutes and Ladders Even Hungry Hungry Hippos Whichever game didn't matter
Chorus We loved playing games But we didn't play games with our hearts Whether Life or Clue We made a love chart We loved the Competition Im glad we both took part We loved playing games But we didn't play games with our hearts
We had so many favorites Uno, Rummy, Oh Hell With every single game I went deeper under your spell
We still play games often We love the challenge and fun And I may as well say it There were times I really won
Chorus We loved playing games But we didn't play games with our hearts Whether Life or Clue We made a love chart We loved the Competition Im glad we both took part We loved playing games But we didn't play games with our hearts We loved playing games But we didn't play games with our hearts

Loved the lyrics when I read them earlier and really love how brilliantly the music flows to deliver the message! Great flow to the melody and as always gorgeous vocals!

Catchy phrases in the chorus, and clever using so many games in the verses, Cindy! Great upbeat soft rock music with a hooky melody.

'We loved playing games / But we didn't play games with our heart' is so good! The music is perfect for the lyrics - really charming song
