The Love We Made

(I'll never forget) The love we made Searching through the shells, where every human dwells... you said, you found a pearl inside of mine In me you found the good, that I just never could, you shined your light on me, but now I'm blind Chorus When I reach for you, and I can't feel you there... I remember the love we made, and I sense you everywhere. Now a cold breeze blows, out the flickering flame... (But) I'll never forget the love we made Diamond from the coal, extracted from the shoal... you were the finest gem I ever mined You took what's meant to be, and gave it all to me... (but) it doesn't mean a thing(baby) without you Chorus When I reach for you, and I can't feel you there... I remember the love we made, and I sense you everywhere. Now a cold breeze blows, out the flickering flame... (But) I'll never forget the love we made Now a cold breeze blows, out the flickering flame... (But) I'll never forget the love we made Now a cold breeze blows, out the flickering flame... (But) I'll never forget the love we made John Derek Hamilton January 14,2019

I see you compose also Heidi, why not work up a melody for this if you like it that much. It's so hard to find female composers/singers to work on these, go ahead I'm sure it will be great!
