Andrea Dietrich Poet Lyric

A Love Song

I will always love you; I can’t help. . . it.
You came like sunshine- stunning the snow . . . my love.
You left; then snow had all melted away.
Oh, you’d fled from my sight; gone was my sweet ray.
Where have you gone? Oh, I miss you so much.
I can’t bear it.

Interlude music

I think of you and poems can blossom,
Still they need sunshine. It’s not the same . . . dear love.
Snow still can melt; flowers bloom. I don’t care.
For nothing I know takes the place of your touch.
Oh bring back your sunny smile.
Let me melt like the snow.

(I tried to match the lyrics to the piano notes that are high
and seem to carry the main melody)

Weston Gregory August 22, 2022 at 8:50 PM Simple yet its depth has a warmth that make this piece heartfelt. I like that its presence is absent yet its act of melting the snow had already been achieved. Andrea Dietrich August 24, 2022 at 1:53 PM thanks , Weston.

Connie Marcum Wong August 22, 2022 at 1:02 AM Music and your romantic words meld together Andrea. A melancholy yet beautiful piece. I hope it is received well in his contest. Blessings xxoo Andrea Dietrich August 24, 2022 at 1:53 PM not received well, but I expected that. Thanks, Connie.

Harry Horsman August 21, 2022 at 8:01 PM LOve the melting and the going away, theme hoping it will come back again, one day, this is what stood out for me as i listen and read..So lovely, not only a poem, song, but a creation.

Kim Rodrigues August 21, 2022 at 6:17 PM A poignant piece and meditative with the piano music. Nice one, Andrea!

Sotto Poet August 21, 2022 at 4:19 PM Wonderful composition, Andrea. I had to read twice to be able to grasp the nice piano melody. Blessings Andrea and best of luck in the contest.

Jennifer Walker August 21, 2022 at 3:37 PM Love it, Love the last two lines especially. I found the music online and then when I came back to post a comment I see that I could have listened to the music right here.

Panagiota Romios August 21, 2022 at 10:01 AM Beautiful and this melody is one of my favorites, greatly done,Andrea Panagiota xx Andrea Dietrich August 21, 2022 at 11:05 AM thanks so much, Pangie.

Terrell Martin August 21, 2022 at 9:25 AM I had to read it a second time to hear the music. Once I put it to a tune in my head it nearly brought tears to my eyes. (I'm quite serious). You are truly gifted, and this is proof positive, dear Andrea. Many blessings, Terry Andrea Dietrich August 21, 2022 at 11:04 AM wow, Terrell. that was so nice of you to say.

Victor Buhagiar August 20, 2022 at 10:31 PM Wonderful. Wish I could hear it sung. Good luck. Andrea Dietrich August 21, 2022 at 11:04 AM I put the music to it. The problem is that I do not use every note of the song, I try to stay with the piano part that is in higher key, so it's not easy to follow how I'm doing it.
