Notes About The Poem

You Sang the Song I Sang To You

You Sang The Song I Sang To You

I heard a tapping on my heart
it woke me from my sleep.
I lay there quietly in the night
and then I heard you weep.

Rising from my body
my spirit then took flight.
To come and be beside you
in the middle of the night.

Carried by the wind it seems
I followed all your fears.
Until at last I'm close enough
I see tracks of your tears.

Standing just outside your room
I am no longer flying.
On the other side is you,
I hear you softly crying.

I whisper to the shadows
as I feel your hope wear thin.
And tell them I can't enter
unless you let me in.

I heard the message echo
and then I heard you rise.
You opened up your bedroom door
with teardrops in your eyes.

I felt virtue leaving me
I somehow lost control.
My heart sang a song of love
and etched it in your soul.

Your eyes no longer crying
I listened and I heard.
You sang the song I sang to you
and you knew every word.

I searched for an answer
I knew not what to say.
The sun would soon be shining,
time for me to go away.

I turned to look into your eyes
one moment left to share.
I saw your smile and I was gone
you never knew that I was there.
