Betweenthe Lines

Between the lines I walk a million miles You hold me in your arms a hundred thousand times Between the lines I wonder about your dark and serene nights Are you all alone,Is there someone on the phone Is there someone by your side Rubbing off the colours of my little smile Between the lines,you're on my mind I will spend a lifetime searching for your eyes Searching just for you,Oh darling if you'd knew Would your lips make love to me the way they used to do Will you come between the lines or leave me feeling blue Between the lines there's a paradise,Between the lines I write So many words unsaid,many moments gone,and wishes still unheard Between the lines ,between the lines I write you'll once again arise Blazing in my heart like a candlelight You still live inside of me,you re-appear suddenly You keep getting closer ,so unexpectedly Between the lines,yes you are still there ,and I am still here We were meant to be,never to be set free Between the lines,,between the lines I write
This lyric poem is inspired by a Lionel Ritchie's song 'Hello'

Lionel is a guest mentor on the Voice on the moment. I have always liked his music.

Between the lines I surge for you, between the lines you burn for me, between the lines we stretch the stars, between the lines we heal the scars..."Between the nights I wonder about your dark and serene nights..." your love sings very uniquely Charma. Happy Valentine's Day...J.A.B.

I can't keep saying...."This is one of your best" OH...but it is, my sweetie pie! It is! Charmaine, never forget the pure talent that flows from your pen. Who would dare erase the colors of your smile! My sweetie. I'm sending you hugs

When the gap between the lines is filled with the love we desire then the dreams are fulfilled and become a beautiful reality as this romantic, tender and superb poem! Wonderfully done dear Charmaine!
