Notes About The Poem

Song in the making

Through the Window

THROUGH THE WINDOW
When we are touching through the window where I see you
it's just emotion, but such emotion!
you look into tomorrow where you think you're going
and maybe wonder about what I am not showing.

when I can feel you through the window and I know you
it's just emotion, but such emotion!
sometimes you see me through the window, and my crying
and if I said I didn't love you, I would be lying.

and when you reach me through the window, I know you know me
it's just emotion, but such emotion!
and I would give my life to have the right to show you
and I would give my life if time was right to know you.

but windows keep you far away although I see you
it's just emotion, but such emotion!
and so I say some prayers for you and your pursueing
and through the window this is what I will be doing.

Ha ha, this is one of only 2 songs I have borrowed the melody from and set new words to the music, it is The music is a 1927 tango-canción (tango with lyrics) called "Adios, Muchachos", composed by Argentinian Julio Cesar Sanders (often credited in the U.S. as "Lenny Sanders" and so it may be in the Public Domain. I think it is. Anyway, the song was later recorded as I GET IDEAS and so if you know the song, you can sing this poem right along with it.

ThanQ Janet, this is a special one to me, making it a song, I had a melody, but it was written to the melody of another 1920's song and so I may have to change it. Not sure of the copyright on the old song yet.
