Grens Evergreens # 4 Cilla Black Contest

If anyone had a heart

Scotland Road
L5 
Back in the 1964
Liverpool's hey day
Where the Beatles began

From hanging coats in the Cavern Club 
Surprise , Surprise 
Gave rise to Cilla White

If anyone had heart 
Written by Burt BacBarack / Hal Davis
1st performed by Dion Warrick
Cilla Black took to another level

Take me in your arms again and love me, too
Until my heart stop's yearning for you
Anyone who had a heart 
Wouldn't see us apart
Sat waiting for a lovers call in a Red Phone Box upon a hill
Cold and forlorn 
Make all my dreams come true
Like a No 1 hit Record

A new bright star is born 
From the banks of the Mersey Shores 
Singing to me of Love and Loss
I first bought and played on my record player
And is just as relevant as today

For Teppo Gren
Cilla Black # 4 Poetry Contest
If anyone had a heart

I have entered a few with what i though where half decent poems but came no where . Who knows ? So long as you think they were good doesn't mean that they weren't in fact if they dont pick you just means they are not kindred spirits maybe Christopher Flaherty July 13, 2018 at 8:07 PM Neither do i was surprised as you were
