You Promised Me: with full song and band audio

Listen to poem:
Vs.1) Up again, in the night
                             
No sound, no sight
           
Only thoughts endlessly through my mind
                         
I see your smile…I see your face
        
And I just can't erase all the plans that we .      
                                         
Made for our lives
                                          
Chorus) You promised me you said
          
Forever but instead, here I am
                                          
All alone in the night.
                              
Vs.2.) Another day, to get through
                          
Without love…without you
                   
Just one step at a time…I'll get by
         
But I miss how we'd laugh at the drop of a 

hat, and I can't even smile anymore.
         
Chorus) You promised me… you said, 

forever but instead, here I am taking one 
             
step at a time
                                 
Vs.3. I'll be fine, yes I will
                        
Cause I have some hope still
                  
That one day all the pain will be gone
                         
Time heals wounds…or so they say
                           
But I just can't see the way
                              
My heart will heal without the piece you 

stole away
                     
Chorus) You promised me you said. 

Forever but instead…here I am… holding 
                                     
the pieces of my heart!

Whoa! My first impression was Amy Lee. With some electric guitars this could rock but it stands on its own as a powerful ballad. Excellent lyrics Crystol

I'm going to try to do something with my Song of the Poet... Reply: I think this is a good use for AI... how many of us have the ability or connections to get our song lyrics out to music with a full band and vocals? It's like a song writer giving/selling their lyrics to a producer for a band or singer to record. It's still all my lyrics, just added music and vocal. I think it's wonderful!

I'm going to be reposting several lyric poem with audio... like this one. I'm excited to see reactions cause I'm so happy with how they came out! I have a cousin who has a band that plays several venues in New England. She's already asked me to let them sing this and the other song(, I can lie too)!! I hope this is the beginning of one day hearing my songs on the radio! Dream big right? ;)
