  by Tex and Lawhon.
  
  LAWHON wrote the chorus lyrics.
  TEX wrote lyrics for verses and bridge
  LAWHON recorded basic chord structure and assisted SUNO with production.
  
  I have not co-written in a while and tremendously enjoyed this. Thanks TEX.
  
  There is a young woman with a strong voice in my area. I approached her months ago about covering one of my originals.
  I'm sure that she was just being polite when she said she would.
  I've been waiting for a song that would give me my best shot with her. Am gonna try this one.
  
  THE GHOST IN EVERY NOTE
  
  [VERSE 1]
  Faded photograph beside my bed
  Your goodbye still lives on in my head
  Morning light can't hide the truth
  I'm still writing songs for you
  
  [VERSE 2]
  Everybody tells me to move along
  Find somebody new and write a new song
  But every lyric finds your face
  Every songs your hiding place
  
  [CHORUS]
  It's my guitar and a song kinda thing.
  Every time I strum those strings.
  The sound of your name rings.
  It's my guitar and a song kinda thing.
  Time won’t erase the way it stings
  My mind let go but my heart still clings
  You're The Ghost in every note that I sing.
  
  
  [BRIDGE]
  Maybe that's what love becomes
  A melody that's never gone
  Long after our story's done
  Your harmony keeps hanging on
  
  [CHORUS]
  It's my guitar and a song kinda thing.
  Every time I strum those strings.
  The sound of your name rings.
  It's my guitar and a song kinda thing.
  Time won’t erase the way it stings
  My mind let go but my heart still clings
  You're The Ghost in every note that I sing.

• You know that I like it...
  
  You'd think a song about writing a song in a song would get some attention on a song writing forum...
  
  Good Luck
  Tex

  For me, that's not a problem.
  I enjoy the song and enjoy how you write.
  Your participation is reward enough for me.
  
  If I can get a young woman with a very good voice to like it and to sing it when she plays out, that will be the recognition sought. If she does not, we'll keep writing anyway.   
  
  This site provides a quiet, productive place to gather a catalogue of songs, and a place to participate with someone who writes as well as you. I look forward to the next one.
  
  Good luck to both of us. After all, you wrote the majority of the lyrics.

• Tex,
  
  Was thinking. If you get a chance, re-write it from the vantage of a person who quit a relationship because they realized it would never work out.
  
  eg Whitney Houston-I will always love you.
  
  That will give the singer a chance to choose a pro-active position rather than being a dump-ee.
  The chorus should work in either case.
  
  Thanks
  
  Lawhonn
