How It Used to Be
Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1978 - 2025 Please check out my YouTube channel if you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I’ve packed away your photographs And all the letters you had sent to me. ‘Cause every time I look at them It makes me think of how it used to be. [Chorus] I’ll love you ‘til the end of time ‘Cause I am just a fool, And the tears I’m crying for you now Are forming in a pool. My sorrow over losing you Is really hurting me, And I hope that soon I will forget Just how it used to be. [Verse 2] I wish that you were here with me So I could show exactly how I feel. But you don’t love me anymore, And I just can’t believe that this is real. [Chorus] I’ll love you ‘til the end of time ‘Cause I am just a fool, And the tears I’m crying for you now Are forming in a pool. My sorrow over losing you Is really hurting me, And I hope that soon I will forget Just how it used to be. [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] I’ll love you ‘til the end of time ‘Cause I am just a fool, And the tears I’m crying for you now Are forming in a pool. My sorrow over losing you Is really hurting me, And I hope that soon I will forget Just how it used to be. [Instrumental Outro]

Enjoy the jazz and country rock combo. Fits this song beautifully.🌹

Thank you! I've found that adding that tag tends to take some of the twangy, hard edge out of the country songs, and I like that.

Are you seeing any increase in YouTube views that you can attribute to including your Channel info in your song headers here?

I wouldn't say it has been anything significant, but it has definitely helped. I had plateaued at 60 subscribers, but since adding the header a week ago, I am now at 83, so I've averaged about three new subscribers per day. I've seen a few comments from other Suno creators, so I think it's pretty safe to say that they have accounted for most, if not all, of the new subscribers.

Nothing says Country like a good old "Crying in my beer" song. I like these lyrics. Another good one.
