THAT'S HOW I'LL REMEMBER YOU (A Song)

A mountain top that hid the moon
The peace that filled a silent room
A candle burning in the night
Two eyes that caught the candle light

A feeling that I never knew
That’s how I’ll remember you

A shadow dancing on the wall
A song that made a tear to fall
An autumn wind, a chilling rain
Soft rhythms on the window pane

A whisper known to only two
That’s how I’ll remember you

Chorus:
I’ll remember you, my love
On dark and rainy nights like this
And I’ll remember love that lingered
In the passion of a kiss

A dawning sun, a rising mist
A dreamer waiting to be kissed
Beneath a dark and purple sky
In shadows of a sweet goodbye

A dawn that rose in shades of blue
That’s how I’ll remember you

Chorus:
I’ll remember you, my love
On dark and rainy nights like this
And I’ll remember love that lingered
In the passion of a kiss

Oh, my Lady...

I truly believe I can hear the tune
behind the love-song...
and someday, you will share that with me
in person.

Truly beautiful...

and truly Elizabeth.

Wow, Liz. I can see why you've been working with the group and writing song lyrics. This truly has a musical quality to the point I could almost hear the beginnings of a tune myself. You're making it too easy for the band, lol!

Really great, much enjoyed.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

In my mind's eye, I see you sitting at a piano with your poetic fingers gracing the ivories while your sweet nightingale voice sings a soulful song. You are a lovely spirit, Lady Elizabeth. As always, you move me with your sentimental mots.

Loving hug,

Linda
