Notes About The Poem

When Lonely Holds Lonely, Chances Are.... Love Dances!

Color

Excuse me for asking,
But I've noticed you passing...
Your nights in here all alone,

The streaks on your face...
Are a dead give away..
That somewhere love has gone wrong.
 
Well I've been there too...
And I'm telling you...
We might be two of a kind

So I thought if I'd ask...
You might wanna dance...
If your blues are the color of mine!  

Chorus:
If you've known lonely like I've known lonely...
We've both been lonely too long!
If you've been hurting like I've been hurting....
Let's let the last teardrop fall!

What do we have to lose....
Just an hour or two...
Who knows what we might find!

Let's turn circumstance...
Into romance....
If your blues are the color of mine!

Chuck, I’d love to hear this put to music. I’m sure many can relate, sure could have when ii was young. I’m happily married now, with of course the occasional hurts in that too. Keep up the great pen!

WoW! Chuck, I enjoyed it from start to finish. I found it your lyrics to be so original. Kudos to your and your co-writer. It a beautiful love that’s very relatable. Who hasn't had the blues? I echo what Vijay said, your chorus is awesome. Would love to hear these lyrics set to music. Well done. Have a great day:-) Alexis
