Each year on my birthday I take some intentional time away to reflect on life, working on some creative projects and consider that goals or dreams I might have for this next year of life. I started doing this about 8 years ago and find it to be rewarding in so many ways. This year, nestled away in my little cute cabin in Branson, Mo, I found myself thinking about Josh and our lives and suddenly was writing a song. I still miss him greatly but also have found myself at a point where I can also give thanks for the time we did have. Over the period of 24 hours, the lyrics and melody to this song came together. I know I could keep tweaking it in many ways but at core, this song reflects my heart and love for my late husband. Below is a (not perfect) recording and also the lyrics. Everyday… It’s Hard to be Blue
written by Jenn Brown | 1/6/2023 All my life I had waited, to find someone like you You came along and our love was true True love, it carried us through Through the dark days and sun rays too But then you were gone, faster than I wanted (Chorus) But it’s hard to be blue when I think of you You brought a smile to my face every time You brought laughter to my heart And joy to my soul Everyday, everyday … I called you mine Verse 2 If I would have known our time would be abridged I would have loved you still Cause each memory lingers like a capsule in my mind A treasure for all time But I’m still sad your gone Faster than I wanted. (Chorus) Bridge: I hope some way, somehow You can hear these words from me now Cause wherever you are without me. I hope you know I loved you truly. Verse 2 I can barely believe how long it’s been Since I felt your embrace Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago But then only yesterday We hoped, we cried we prayed for more time But time can’t be contained Chorus Still it’s hard to be blue when I think of you You brought a smile to my face every time You brought laughter to my heart And joy to my soul Everyday, everyday … I called you mine
