Jeffry Cohan Poet Quatrain

I Sang a Song That Went All Wrong Free Cee

THAT SONG WENT WRONG

We danced all night as you listened to my serenade 
You heard the music romance made
While we two-stepped in your living room
Until that room filled with my tears became a tomb

I sang to you about the magic that could be
I crooned a tune about the mystic music made by you and me
We harmonized with notes so sweet
Until two part harmony met with defeat

My song contained lyrics of sheer adoration
So we sang and danced until your love’s cessation
When our music was silenced and your love as well
And no longer will my overture swell

My song was stilled by sorrow and tears
While I played a melody only a lover hears
Now there’s no more harmonious song
And we no longer dance all night long

Lionel Ledbetter December 24, 2011 at 7:30 PM Ha Ha Reminds me of: "What would you do if I sang out of tune: would you turn round and walk out on me?" "Lend me an ear, and I'll sing to you dear, I'll try not to sing out of key." You must have sang out of key, Fella. (I can't remember the singers name, and he was one of my favorites.)
