Melody Medicine by Melodie Yvonne
I don’t care if you love me now ‘cause all I gots is time
Time to heal my soul myself with true love that I find
Each time I hit that play, I reach the end and I rewind
And all these melodies wash over me and cleanse my troubled mind
I don’t care if you leave me now, I’ll never be alone
I hit that play Jimi, Shannon, & Josh jump out my phone
And never will they hit or even use an angry tone
‘Cause they’re only here to feed my soul, heal me, and make me whole
I don’t care if you love me now ‘cause all I gots is time
Time to heal my soul myself with true love that I find
Each time I hit that play, I reach the end and I rewind
And all these melodies wash over me and cleanse my troubled mind
There ain’t no hurt that you can give that hurts my frame of mind
There ain’t no hurt that you can give that music can’t unwind
Put the needle on the record ‘stead of in your arm next time
And maybe all your troubles melt away along with some of mine
I don’t care if you love me now ‘cause all I gots is time
Time to heal my soul myself with true love that I find
Each time I hit that play, I reach the end and I rewind
And all these melodies wash over me and cleanse my troubled mind
Oh yes, each time I hit that play, I reach the end and I rewind
And all those melodies wash over me and free my troubled mind
