Artist picture
Singer/Songwriter in the tradition of classic country artists. A little humor and a whole lot of heart.
I've been writing songs since 1974. Over the past few years, I've participated in open mic's whenever possible and have become active in the Nashville Songwriters Association International ("NSAI").

Story behind the song
Looking for a way to describe how we came to be ... at a time when relationship was far from my thinking.
Lyrics
She’s the kind of woman Makes you stop and think Steal away your breath Give you back your dreams Strength and beauty most have only Envied from afar Couldn’t find one like her If you wished upon a star She’s everything I wasn’t looking for She’s all I didn’t need right now and more I thought for its own sake my heart would take some time to heal Never known a love this real pass through my door She’s everything I wasn’t looking for Shards of shattered dreams I’ve learned how they cut deep Though I’ve tried my foolish pride Was humbled in defeat Love may be a game But one can only take so much A good part of my hurtin’ heart Had all but given up She’s everything I wasn’t looking for She’s all I didn’t need right now and more I thought for its own sake my heart would take some time to heal Never known a love this real pass through my door She’s everything I wasn’t looking for Just when I turned my back on love forever It seems I’ve found that someone I can treasure She’s everything I wasn’t looking for She’s all I didn’t need right now and more I thought for its own sake my heart would take some time to heal Never known a love this real pass through my door She’s everything I wasn’t looking for © John Tolley All Rights Reserved
