Eyes To the Skies

Eyes to the skies Vs 1 As you move, you glide... hips sway side to side... Your step's in rhythm to my heartbeat Vs 2 You glance across the room... Your gaze tells me I'm doomed... To your love and there's no escaping Pre-Chorus I raise my eyes, to the skies, and pray Please dear Lord, give us both, another day Chorus Tonight will be the death of me... Kiss me oh so softly... We swim together breathlessly... Drowning in our loving Vs 3 As a new day dawns... Our love goes on and on... Without your love I can't keep breathing Vs 4 And as the days pass by... the tears fall from your eyes... I had a feeling, that you'd be leaving Pre-chorus I raise my eyes, to the skies, and pray... Please dear Lord, give us both, another day Chorus Tonight will be the death of me... Kiss me oh so softly... We swim together breathlessly... Drowning in our loving Chorus Tonight will be the death of me... Kiss me oh so softly... We swim together breathlessly... Drowning in our loving repeat chorus and fade John Derek Hamilton August 15,2023

This reminds me of a song, so lyrical, your lyrics flow in such mellifluous and captivating rhythm. “I had a feeling that youd be leaving “ that line really is soul touching. Such a poignant song that i would definitely put on repeat

Yes it is written with a certain cadence that is intentional for a song. I have a few songs with music and voice here on my page ie. "That's when I fall down upon my knees"," I know you're the one" and more. Thanks for your kind words and visit. Hope you like the songs.
