Jan Allison Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Falling Tears

My tears keep falling as days pass by
I’m left heartbroken, just sit and cry
I miss you darling, so does our son
You never told me what I had done

Since the day you walked away
The azure skies have all turned grey
I can't sleep at night as you’re not there
Hard to accept that you don’t care

Days turn to night; I sit alone
My aching heart has turned to stone
I do not know where I went wrong
Now I just sing this sad sad song


Inspired by listening to Autumn Leaves sung by Natalie Cole

Darren White October 10, 2016 at 9:59 PM Wow, that's just beautiful Jan, read it with the music in the background <3 Jan Allison October 11, 2016 at 2:14 AM It works really well with the music ... my favourite one is the homeward bound poem - it took me days to write that - I find it very emotional to listen to ... I can hear the music in my head as I write:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison April 23, 2016 at 5:32 PM Oh Charma my heart goes out your friend and her children - it must be so difficult for them to understand why daddy doesn't want to be with them anymore:-( The lyrics to autumn leaves are so sad and the melody is haunting and my muse went into a melancholy overdrive :-( hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich April 23, 2016 at 10:44 AM I think the song really inspired sadness in you. These songs I will need to listen to again. Their titles are familiar to me but can't quite recall their words or melodies. I know his last contest super inspired me, I hope this one does the same. Jan Allison April 23, 2016 at 11:48 AM The songs are all beautiful Andrea but this one really evoked a feeling of sadness and I wrote it to fit in with the song:-) hugs jan xx
