Sing Me An Old Style Song

Sing Me an Old Style Song Sing me an old style song, With pretty flowing phrases; A story of love gone wrong, In other times, in other places. No trumpets blare, just sweet trombones, A crooner, smooth tongued and mellow. Hurting, aching, quiet, for me alone. Sing me an old style song. Let bottled tears stain my cheeks, As your freckled nose appears before me. For I cannot cry to beats and bangs, Please sing me an old style melody. That I may cry and cleanse my heart; Empty and ready for a new filled start.

Hello Sunlite Wanter, play me a love song that of a love that went wrong, so i can cry tears to release my sadness, a wide river to grow from my tears. how is that? Have a nice day my friend.

I am not even musical and I adore this poem. This stanza really hit me. "No trumpets blare, just sweet trombones, A crooner, smooth tongued and mellow. Hurting, aching, quiet, for me alone. Sing me an old style song." It makes me ache for the music of the 40's and 50's.

This is a terrific song-poem / poem-song. Have you put it to music yet? It's really quite good! ~ Gershon
