Until Love Returns To Me

(One Moment In Time- Whitney Houston) I touch the dawn when fear explains the reasons why this chill remains I wait for sun to paint the skies in hues of hope to fill my eyes I touch the dawn inside my mind with every thought that I can find My hands outstretched, I’ll not give in feel it within Until love returns to me Until you make your way to my door When darkness surrenders the brilliance of light and I am not wanting for more Until love returns to me and the morning sun fills my heart When dreaming no longer awaits nevermore, nevermore to be apart

Very beautiful, thoughtful, and poetic lyrics Mike, well deserving of your high placement in the contest. What you were able to do with this song and its rhythms and rhyme pattern was exceptional and takes a lot of talent. Well done!

Your three "I" statements are out of this world... I thought that I am reading "Hafez" and his lyric poetry of Ghazals... Beautifully done ...

Your lyrics resonate longings of heart-- yearnings for the beloved. The melancholic tenor echoes promise of love. Lovely write, Mike. All the best.

WoW! Mike, First of all, I must say I loved " One Moment In Time" by Whitney Houston. These are moving and touching lyrics, that are filled with such longing. Great title and content. Your lyrics work with the tune of the song you chose. Excellent Job. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
