Notes About The Poem

You Sing the Sweetest Songs

With my hand clasped in yours
I'm strong enough to reach the stars
my love
you make my world a beautiful place
playing love songs on your guitar

If ocean waves were stairs to the moon
I'd climb each one to hear your tunes
my love
you sing the sweetest songs
as I sway in dance like a loon

chorus...
And when dawn draws near
I know I'll find you here
ever at my side
chasing away my fear

I'd shout it from mountain tops
across lakes and a mangrove copse
my love
I'd stand beside you 
through a thunderstorm of raindrops

No sorrow shall I ever feel
this love we share is for real
my love
you're the one I adore
emotions my heart can never conceal

chorus...
And when dawn draws near
I know I'll find you here
ever at my side
chasing away my fear

If Winter snow covers the ground
I know where you'll be found
my love
in my arms where you belong
forever our hearts will be bound 

And if dawn should not arise
tears would fill my eyes
my love
until you're in my arms
I'll wake beneath grey skies

Until you're in my arms
my love
I'll wake beneath grey skies

A beautifully romantic and heart touching love song. This is so deep with affection and emotion one can almost hear it sung as it is being read. Nicely done Lin.

Thank you so sincerely, Chris. I used to write lyrics for the music my husband wrote. Bittersweet memories.
