Carole Duet Poet Lyric

Fears and Tears

Forgive me now for being so slow.
I just don’t know which way to go.
If only I knew you loved me true
maybe I’d give my heart to you.
But my fears and tears from the past 
have chained and held me fast.
And though you’ve made me feel I can do it
my heart is afraid to let me go through it.

  No more fears
  No more tears

My hopes and dreams never hesitated
but now my fear is activated.
Just wait for me to feel free again,
to give my all to my new best friend.

  No more fears
  No more tears
  No more fears
  No more tears

(Instrumental)

You and I may win together
if you help me cut through these tethers.
Can you love someone with all these fears
and can you stop all these tears?
Will you tell me no more lies?
And will you never say good-bye?

  No more fears
  No more tears
  No more fears
  No more tears.

(Instrumental and fade....)

Viv Wigley March 14, 2018 at 2:34 AM Maria makes a good point below, fear being a wall taller than it really is, fiercer than it really is and has a dragon's face on the front and a kitten's back side at the other end. Onward and upward! Fine write, Carole. Viv x Carole Duet March 18, 2018 at 2:07 AM Thank you, Viv, for your comment and for your advice. Carole :D

Maria Williams March 8, 2018 at 9:02 PM A beautiful poem my dear friend Carole. In my experience, fear is an invisible threshold which when crossed, one looks back and thinks - 'Is that all it was, there was no reason to fear' - So break those invisible chains - cross that invisible threshold and you will be free. 'One who hesitates is lost' Definitely a Fave of mine...Maria xxx Carole Duet March 11, 2018 at 4:50 PM Thank you so much, Maria, for your wise comment. Carole
