Lets Burn This Candle Down

Lay me down Kiss my lips Let’s live out every wish For the first time may our souls unite as one I’ll make you smile I’ll make you sigh Neath the glow of a candles light Let’s make tonight a night that never ends Let’s burn this candle down Till the sun breaks through the clouds Till morning dew lays gently...on the ground Just time, you and I, two hearts sharing desires Let’s burn this candle down... till morning light When paradise comes calling Let’s meet up once again To prove we’re lifetime lovers Much more than, merely friends Tomorrow’s never promised We won’t always be around So tonight let’s burn this candle Let’s burn this candle down Let’s burn this candle down Till the sun breaks through the clouds Till morning dew lays gently on the ground Just time, you and I, two hearts sharing their desires Let’s burn this candle down... till morning light Let’s burn this candle down till... morning light And let me love you all the days of our lives....

Wow Michael I love this lyric, I could sense the melody right away, this is a great romantic song well done. Now we have I think 6 songwriters on this site!

I know what you mean, I do read music and play trumpet but it's hard to compose unless you play guitar or piano, writing music is based on C and the trumpet is Bflat so I learned music by transposing, so it makes it difficult. I have found a few composers that are really good, if you check one of my recent lyrics it has the melody and vocals.

Thanks John! My early stuff was simple poems but I have since transitioned into lyrics, but still like to post them here. If only I played guitar or could sing. Thanks for looking!
