On the Ground

I been down so low
So low to the ground
Singing sweet to my love
I been down so low
And it seems that time never stops
When we sing sweet melodies
I been down so low
You picked me up off the ground

And the leaves fall round
Every winter
And the love comes round 
Every summer
I can’t leave you on the ground
You picked me up and took me around

And I know that our love is so tender
And I know that our love is to be remembered
I can’t find myself falling down
I can’t find myself on the ground

Match this up with a catchy tune, and you may have a good song with this writing.
