Anne-Marie Coreggia Poet Lyric

The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden

Deep from the seeds of love planted long ago
a secret garden we’ve grown
but left alone the key
buried in you heart
no longer opens the door.

(0:36)
Apart we’ll live in dreams, drifting forever
within the garden I’ll be,
but release the flowers
that they may bloom again
that the garden may sing again.

(1:07) 
Open the door and let the music flow
open the door to the hills and the moors
open the door let the children’s laughter
ripple through the heather
and heal your aching heart.

(1:38)
 And if you no longer
hear my heart calling yours
know still I never stand alone
for here a part of you
has forever become a part of me
that sows your love.

(2:10) 
Open the door and let the music flow
open the door to the hills and the moors
open the door let the children’s laughter
ripple through the heather
and heal your aching heart.

And if you no longer
hear my heart calling yours
know still I never stand alone
for here a part of you
has forever become a part of me
that grows alone
part of me that grows alone.

Solomon Ochwo-Oburu April 26, 2017 at 7:07 AM Rare talents shown. Keep the candle burning, I love it. Anne-Marie Coreggia April 26, 2017 at 8:19 AM I'm afraid all the tears I cried on this one have snuffed the candle out:)

Charmaine Chircop April 25, 2017 at 1:46 PM What can I say more than Exceptional dear friend :) Anne-Marie Coreggia April 25, 2017 at 4:00 PM Thank you for your comment Charmaine:)

Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 7:26 AM Once again I am enchanted by your talent, your ability to craft lyrics to music that seem as if the music was written for your lyrics. Absolutely beautiful Anne Marie. Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 8:12 AM Thank you for your wonderful comments Chris. When I was a kid, my dad used to listen to a lot of classical music and opera, and when we were sent to 'colonies de vacancies' (summer camps), we had to sing a lot of folk or popular songs. The lyric was pretty good, but I have a terrible memory so I would try to make up a few lines which I could remember, to sing along.

Lisa Ricci April 24, 2017 at 5:18 AM Good Morning Anne-Marie. Please allow me to simply say outstanding in every way. Truly exquisite and top level in its entirety. Honestly. -- Smile -- Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:49 AM Thank you so much Lisa for this very generous review. I hope the next piece will bring a 'Smile' on your face:)

Ravi Sathasivam April 24, 2017 at 1:33 AM Excellent. Perfect and beautiful write. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing it. Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:39 AM Thank you so very much for your comment Ravi, but I hope you can also access the music to which this lyric was set because it was directly inspired from it:)

Arthur Vaso April 23, 2017 at 8:31 PM If I was a flower, I would be dead, drowned in my own tears, this was so beautiful! Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:37 AM Thank you Arthur for giving me a good laugh, I needed that. My big brother wants me to set the lyric to 'Trumpet Rhapsody' by Maynard Ferguson next. Since there is 'Trump' in the title I hope that inspires something wickedly funny:)

Eve Roper April 23, 2017 at 7:45 PM Exquisite, Anne-Marie, both poem and the accompanying music ~* Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:24 AM Eve, I am so glad you enjoyed it all:)

Sunlite Wanter April 23, 2017 at 6:40 PM This is one of the most beautiful poems I have read - poetrysoup or otherwise - because it speaks to the experience of more people than you know. A 7 and fav! Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:23 AM Sunlite, I am deeply touched by your comments. This song affected me very much from the minute I started listening, because it immediately reminded of Schindler's list:)

Emile Pinet April 23, 2017 at 5:52 PM You did a good job here. I read and listened to it several times and it came alive for me. The imagery created, gave life to your words and your feelings came through strong. Emile. #7 Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:09 AM Thank you Emile for this lovely review. I couldn't listen to this song without crying my eyes out so I actually spent some time discussing the story of the Secret Garden with my friend Kay; then, to my surprise, as I listened again, the lyric came out in one fell swoop:) Amitiés

Tim Smith April 23, 2017 at 5:32 PM This is so beautiful Anne-Marie and goes perfectly with the music...simply amazing a7 and fav Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 7:00 AM Bonjour Tim, there were many songs in 'Songs from a Secret Garden' so I was not sure which one to pick, so I am so glad you liked this one:)
