A Lullaby For You & I

Laying in grass under willow trees.

We'll fall asleep fast and get lost in dreams.

Have you ever wanted to be a queen?

In my book, you might as well be.

The sunset is near, we have places to see.

Though I'll hold you close and we'll never leave.

This entire story is based on you,

I think it's funny you have no clue.

We're saying sorry, we're saying goodbye.

To all things that have made us cry.

I've wanted to say for a year today,

that I love you.

 

I never loved you more than when I kissed your lips.

You moved in closer and grabbed my hips.

I never wanted you more than on that hardwood floor.

We touched and kissed, having to lock the door.

Though the sunrise is near, we better get dressed.

I got to say...last night was the best.

Let's go for a ride, I don't care where to...

Someplace happy and sunny where the sky is blue.

We're saying sorry, we're saying goodbye.

To all things that have made us cry.

I've wanted to say for a year today,

that I love you.

 

Don't give up dear, we have things to do.

With both of us, we can make it through.

Home is where the heart is, my home is with you.  I promise you this!

I hope this is not what we've become, a couple struggling to have some fun.

Now that all the bad is gone.

I want you to stay and sing along...

 

We're saying sorry, we're saying goodbye.

To all things that have made us cry.

I've wanted to say for a year today,

that I love you.

You know how I feel about this one. :) The most beautiful piece you have written so far.

I do thank you ladies dearly for the compliments. :] I must admit that these are the lyrics for an acoustic/piano piace I wrote. Some say songs and poetry are two different things...I think it merely dpends on the song.

I really like the focus on some of the small parts. For example, the speaker loves the most when kissed and then grabbed by the hips. This is such a true, small statement. I really enjoyed that line. I also really like the repetitive quality of this piece. Sometimes getting too sentimental in poetry can take away from the poem, but I think you skim along the edges without teetering off. This provokes an emotional response, but more reflective. There's a submissive quality to the voice. I really enjoyed this. Good job!
