Places 2

Listen to poem:
[verse 1] There were places in the world (the world), That we could always hang around, Where every silent wish could be heard. And there were things to figure out, Like family money power and the world, The sun is beautiful (beautiful). [chorus] I keep you close (I'll keep you close). I keep my candle burning for you, I keep you close (I'll keep you close). In the night and in the morning, I'll keep you close (I keep you close). [verse 2] There were many memories to write There were many voices to be heard, To me you're beautiful (you're beautiful). There were many enemies to fight, Like long days and lonely nights, The sun is beautiful (beautiful). [chorus] I keep you close (I'll keep you close). I keep my candle burning for you, I keep you close (I'll keep you close). In the night and in the morning, I'll keep you close (I keep you close). [bridge] When the light has hit your morning, And your tears are slowly drying, I keep you close (I keep you close). When these lonely twilights turn to gold, And golden sun shines kiss the dawn, I keep you close (I'll keep you close). [chorus] I keep you close (I'll keep you close). I keep my candle burning for you, I keep you close (I'll keep you close). In the night and in the morning, I'll keep you close (I keep you close).

Dear Marugu, your song is a beautiful ode to memories, love, and perseverance. The imagery of keeping a candle burning for someone, both in the night and in the morning, evokes a sense of warmth and dedication. The repetition of "I keep you close" reinforces the theme of closeness and connection despite distance or challenges. I loved how your lyrics capture the essence of cherishing moments and holding onto hope even in the face of adversity. It's a heartfelt reminder of the enduring power of love and companionship. - Blessings, Daniel

What a lovely love/romance poem; I especially liked the 2d verse. So well done! I also liked the chorus. I appreciate your talent in writing this poetic form. I don't 'think' that way, but glad you do. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Thank your for your welcome comments. They don't have a poetry form for song lyrics so this is the closest I could find. I was experimenting with meter and music generation using AI. Still work in progress
