Grey-Sky Lullaby

I was asked to write a song for a wedding. Here the resulting lyrics.

 

I'll try this on with you

I'll write a song for you

Lay out this quilt on a hill

Listen for the birds as they

Sing that pretty story of

A girl who found a love that was real

It's ok, It's ok.

 

You'll put on that pretty dress

The one the crowd will like the best

White dress you'll only wear for a day

Then we'll see our families

You're smiling as you walk with me

The sky will watch the doves fly away

It's our day, It's our day

 

Oh, oh falling in love from the start

Oh, but now that I know who you are

I love you more

Breathe slow, honey oh darling we both know

I wouldn't trade you for a star,

I love you so

 

Oh, oh, falling in love from the start,

Oh, but now that I know your whole heart

I love you more

Breathe slow, honey oh darling we both know

I wouldn't trade you for the stars,

I need you so...

Author's Note

I know the last two stanzas are almost identical, i just included both because one is sung softley, and one is belted at full volume. I didn't want to include only one because I didn't want the song to be too short.

Oh, oh, falling in love from the start,

Oh, but now that I know your whole heart

I love you more

Breathe slow, honey oh darling we both know

I wouldn't trade you for the stars,

I need you so...

This is a very nice set of lyrics. I can almost hear the tune in my head actually.Very good job [from one person in the music business to another].

I couldn't help but smile as I read this. It was so beautiful and every word held a meaning,.. Hearing something a second time doesn't take away from the beauty of the experience. I've reread this about three times, and it keeps putting me in this happy trace. Maybe it's because I'm one of those people who loves hearing about the mushy stuff? I don't know. But what I do know is that this here was a work of art, a pretty, captivating work of art. ^_^
