Story behind the song

The song was originally written in 1986 , but 15 years later we decided to get it demo'd and both the writers remembered th words and music 15 years on almost word and note perfect. 
The song is reflective but highly melodic with interesting harmonic movements - enjoy and any comments are gratefully appreciated

Lyrics

Those Nights We Had



You captured parts of me

I was blind but don’t you see

You were more than the world to me

You were everything love could be

Those nights we had



We’d laugh, we’d share it in every way

The morning, the night, the day

Those mind games that we’d play

One look, you knew what to say

Those nights we had

Those long hot nights we had 



Trumpet Solo 



So how could it go so wrong 

We’d been lovers for so long

But I felt that I didn’t belong

Like the words of a jaded song

Those nights we had



You’d smile, the sparkle was in your eyes

Their innocence held the lies

But nothing you did could disguise 

The feelings you felt inside

Those nights we had 

Those long hot nights we had



Trumpet Solo 



You captured parts of me

I was blind but don’t you see

You were more than the world to me

You were everything love could be

Those nights we had



And now it’s a year since you’ve been gone

Who cares who was right or wrong 

I’m learning each day to be strong 

But the memories linger on

Of nights we had

Those long hot nights we had
