Sung to the tune of:
Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, by Rod Stewart
Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, by Rod Stewart
Have I Mentioned My Re-writes Lately
Have I mentioned my re-writes to you lately?
Have I mentioned my second manuscript too?
They fill my heart with gladness
Take away any sadness
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
Oh the midnight oil’s forever burning
Greets the day with hope
That this will do…this time
Re-reads fill my life with laughter
I can write it so much better
Easily trouble me
There’s a manuscript that’s divine
It might be yours, it sure ain’t mine
I can write it so much better
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
There’s a manuscript that’s divine
It might be yours, it sure ain’t mine
And at the end of every re-write
I give thanks then I pray
This is the one, yes this is the one!
Have I mentioned my re-writes to you lately?
Have I mentioned my second manuscript too?
They fill my heart with gladness
Take away any sadness
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
Have I mentioned my second manuscript too?
They fill my heart with gladness
Take away any sadness
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
There’s a manuscript that’s divine
It might be yours, it sure ain’t mine
It might be yours, it sure ain’t mine
And at the end of every re-write
I give thanks then I pray
This is the one, yes this is the one!
I give thanks then I pray
This is the one, yes this is the one!
Have I mentioned my re-writes to you lately?
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
Easily trouble me
That’s what they do
But I surely won’t give up
No matter all the mark-up
I’ll keep writing, that’s what I’ll do
No matter all the mark-up
I’ll keep writing, that’s what I’ll do
Have I mentioned I’m still writing lately?
