I've been into writing a lot of this champagne type of music lately. Sort of a Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett type of feel to it. Hey, it's the time of year for a love song!! This is a rework of an old poem of mine. That moonlit flight the night we met there were stars all around in the air. They shone like diamonds through the mist and the moon beams played on your golden hair. There were glowing charms over silver arms and I knew when you started to stare you were losing your heart to me and the moon beams played on your golden hair. Bridge The night light fingers spread up and down and your lovely eyes were soft and round while my heart danced like a child at a fair. Love was born above the ground... love was born in the air. A spell was the mood like a champagne tune it was the start of a long love affair and when we kissed on that night when moon beams played on your golden hair. In the heavens above wrapped up in your love there was never a dream to compare. That moonlit night that kansas flight when the moon beams played on your golden hair. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

Sounds like a fella could slow dance his way into a ladies heart with this one *S* Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

That moonlit flight the night we met there were stars all around in the air. They shone like diamonds through the mist and the moon beams played on your golden hair. There were glowing charms over silver arms and I knew when you started to stare you were losing your heart to me and the moon beams played on your golden hair. ============================ E-babes...you croon...I swoon this is a melodic beauty of romantic rhymes and love swept imagery. So good to find your name here... Happy Holidays to you my poet pal You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |
