a lyric and a song part 2

Recorded on 8/27/20. This is the 2nd part of a two part video. I share the acapella song We Could’ve Been Good. I was going to go with another one but came across this one first (hence the speeded up part while I was looking 😉 The question of the night was “If you could gift everyone with one skill, what would it be?” Stick around for the end to hear Transe & Hanna’s response.

I hope you enjoy the poems and this moment from 2020. The lyric part of this video has captions added. If you want to learn more about this open mic visit: https://www.instagram.com/fos_thursdays/. We still get together every Thursday via zoom.


We Could've Been Good

I saw you standing there
I catch my breath
for lack of air
so handsome, so suave
so just my style
men like you make life worthwhile

I didn’t know your name
 and that didn’t really matter
because in my mind you were already here
When that clock strikes 2
The one thing I knew
I was gonna be going home with you

Oh, We could've been good
We could've been something else
I’m talking fireworks on the 4th of July
Oh we could be great
We could make history
So come on over baby – take a chance on me

so I batted my eyes
flashed you my smile
sent out every signal to let you know I was single
 ready and willing, just waiting for you
 I promise I won’t bite
unless you ask me too.

Because we could've been good
We could've been something else
I’m talking fireworks on the 4th of July
Oh we could be great
We could make history
So come on over baby – take a chance on me

I saw you standing there
 across the room
I was ready to run to you
Part the people like the red sea
Suddenly – on came my favorite song
Could it be, finally
You were coming for me
Then you turned
 you weren’t alone....
