I was listening to some song driving home from work, and suddenly I had this idea to start a song with "Is there any room in your life for..." The whole piece came out with little revision. I might modify the last part to make it into a chorus or add more to it. I think it would make a nice acoustic guitar ballad without any sound effects or backup instruments; just a sweet little song with enough humor at the end of each verse to throw off the listeners' expectations.
Is There Any Room In Your Heart
Is there any room in your life for a poet
Who likes to give flowers, loves classic movies?
He cooks pretty well, and shares his hot chocolate.
He bathes fairly often and doesn’t have fleas.
Could you see yourself involved with a romantic
Who’s not much to look at but has a good heart -
A renaissance man who’s a bit of a classic,
With a young attitude for a crusty old fart.
Is there any room in your heart for some passion?
He lives to sing love songs for karaoke.
He thinks poetry never goes out of fashion;
Still likes to jump on the bed with little monkeys.
Could you see yourself married to such a person,
Holding hands in a church on a Sunday morning?
You could be his muse, his source of inspiration!
You’d probably think someone like that is boring;
But if not, I’ll admit that that someone is me.
