Backstory:

I'm a happy go lucky kinda chap and I thought I'd write a song about a guy who loses his girl, breaks his heart for a couple of days then finds another one. All very light.        

Lyrics:

                                                  
V.1.
SHE THREW THE RING INTO THE GUTTER AND TOLD ME WHERE TO GO
THEN STORMED OFF TO HER MOTHER LEFT ME STANDING ALL ALONE
WITH MY MOUTH WIDE OPEN IN THE POURING RAIN
SAID SHE FOUND ANOTHER AND I WON’T SEE HER AGAIN

I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND STARTED LOOKING FOR THE RING
WAS ANKLE DEEP IN PUDDLES AND I COULDN’T SEE A THING
WHEN FIN’LLY I ACCEPTED BOTH OF THEM WERE GONE
WITH MY MIND IN A MUDDLE I GOT UP AND HEADED HOME

Chorus 1
NOW I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY
I’D JUST LOST EVERYTHING
FIRST I’D LOST MY SWEET GIRLFRIEND
THEN I’D LOST THAT RING
BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME HONEST PEOPLE AROUND
SO I THOUGHT I’D TRY MY LUCK AND PHONED THE LOST AND FOUND

V.2.
IT WAS TEN DAYS LATER WHEN A VOICE I RECOGNISED             
CALLED ME ON THE PHONE SAID SHE HAD A NICE SURPRISE 
A RING WAS HANDED IN FITTING MY DESCRIPTION
SHE CONFIRMED IT WAS MINE WHEN I TOLD HER THE INSCRIPTION         

I WENT ON DOWN TO SEE HER WHEN IT WAS MY LUNCH BREAK
I SAW HER LONG BLONDE HAIR MAN I DID A DOUBLE TAKE
WE’D BEEN AT SCHOOL TOGETHER SHE CHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN
SHE LIKED ME NOW FOR SURE LIFE WAS LOOKING GOOD AGAIN

CHORUS 2

NOW I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY
I WAS FEELING GOOD AGAIN
MAYBE I’D FOUND SOMEONE SPECIAL
NOW I COULD PICK UP THE RING
THANK GOD FOR THE HONEST PEOPLE AROUND
WHO LED ME DOWN THERE TO THE LOST AND FOUND

V.3.
WE MADE A DATE THAT EVENING AND HERE’S THE FUNNY THING
WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE OFFICE I’D FORGOT ABOUT THE RING
LOVE’S A KINDA MAGIC IT GOES AROUND AND ROUND
I LOST IT AND I FOUND IT AT THE LOST AND FOUND

LOVE’S A KINDA MAGIC IT GOES AROUND AND ROUND
I LOST IT AND I FOUND IT AT THE LOST AND FOUND
