Lyrics

'Lookin' Forward' © words and music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

V.1
Well, I'm finally feelin' better and I'm doin' fine.
Now that I've finally got myself into a good state of mind.
Though it's taken me some time, and its been quite an ordeal,
It's gotten so much better, with the way that I feel.

V.2
Well things can happen that you just don't expect.
You're never thinking that you just might be next.
You see it all around you, happens all the time.
Then it's your turn, it's your life, that's on the line!

V.3
Well I've asked myself this question, so many times,
Will I make it through all this and will it all be fine?
Went through weeks and weeks of the so-called cure,
Really just amazed that anyone can endure.

V.4
All that I hear, is 'just keep pushing on'.
'These things take time, and you've just got to be strong'.
But time goes so slow, and I can't stand the wait.
I wanna get back to me before I'm too late.

Chorus:
I'm lookin' forward to getting back to where I was.
I used to sing and play my music everyday, most everyday.
I'm lookin' forward to getting back to the way that it used to be.
I'm lookin' forward, - to getting back to me.
break...

Chorus:
Lookin' forward to getting back to where I was.
I used to sing and play my music everyday, most everyday.
I'm lookin' forward to getting back to the way it used to be.
I'm lookin' forward, - to getting back to me.
