Pastel Reflections

[Inspired by the melody: 'Pastel Reflections' by Kevin Kern] www.last.fm/music/Kevin Kern/_/Pastel ReflectionsCached [A 25 sec introduction precedes the Lyrics.] ------------------------------------------------------------------ I called out your name, but I got no answer. You had gone away without a word; no reason why. I called out your name; echoes filled the cold deserted rooms and the silence I could not bear. Time has now gone by, yet I can not forget nor give up. I live in hope that you will come back to me. Always in my heart there is a place reserved just for you. Do not let my tears flow down in vain. I called out your name. In my mind I saw you in a swirling mist of hazy blue, beyond my reach. I called out your name to the wind that blew in restless nights and I wondered where you could be. Time has now gone by, yet I can not forget nor give up. I live in hope that you will come back to me. Always in my heart there is a place reserved just for you. Do not let my tears flow down in vain. I called out your name to the stars above me; to the rolling sea where secrets hide among the waves. I called out your name as I sat alone and longed for you and the silence I could not bear. I still call your name as I live in hope. Life is not the same since you went away. I call your name. ------------------------------- Contest: Pastel Reflections Sponsor: Craig Cornish

Thank you, Jan! So pleased that you like these lyrics. I think that I should have given less attention to the melody and instead concentrated more on the lyrics. Hugs // paul

I have not heard the song yet. I gave up doing this kind of challenge and not scoring well with them! Anyway, I bet this really goes with the music and I can almost imagine the type of music it would be by the type of poem it is, so melancholy yet beautiful!

Melancholy it is; glad you found the lyrics beautiful, Andrea. May I tempt you to match them with the melody!:) (Don't forget that the lyrics start after a 25 sec intro.) Have a lovely weekend. // paul

You are too kind, Judy:) I did my best with a challenging task. I love writing lyrics for songs, but putting words to a melody is never that easy...I much prefer it the other way round! All the best. // paul
