Joanna Daniel Poet Lyric

Play Me a Melody

Sitting here I think
With paper, pen and ink
I have never known
Where has the time flown? 
Will I be the same? 
Is this all just a game? 

Pour me a memory
Play me a melody
And I will sing a song
Making it right each wrong
And it will make me strong

I drown in my sorrows
Thinking about tomorrows
But I know it'll be alright
As long as I can write
Come on and sing with me
As happy as can be

Pour me a fantasy
Play me a melody
And I will sing a song
Making it right each wrong
And it will make me strong

I will write on
Leave the light on
Glad to fight on
Singing a song

As long as I have a song to sing
To hopeful melodies I'll cling

I will write on
Leave the light on
Glad to fight on
Singing a song
Singing a song...

Lin Lane May 10, 2023 at 1:38 AM G'morning, Jo. Your chorus is filled with such a positive outlook. It would stand on its own. Rather catchy as a melody to sing.
