"Can't Sing Goodbye" The days slip into sunsets since your leaving came along nothing written nothing said I cannot sing this into song I can sing about the wars and about the pulling of the tides and about the rotten way that lovers make us cry but I just can't bring myself to sing goodbye I can sing of wayward women and of rakes and rowdy men in all the songs I'm singing honey I'm just trying to pretend that you'll be right there when I come home again When the heart is pulled in two you know it's got to be a crime don't know how to keep on singing without the other half of mine ...just a li'l song Rainydays [This message has been edited by Rainydays (edited 11-04-2000).] |

I can't imagine the pain of not having someone to come home to. Take care, Rainydays. Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Doc, thanks for reading. Yes, definitely a beer and salty jukebox song. Elizabeth, here's hoping you won't have to know it. Take care, and thanks for reading. Rainydays |

This song I will not allow myself to sing As the loss of you leaves quite a sting I will sing instead of memories so sweet Taking my time in rhyme til in heaven we meet The love for you will never find an end I will not give in, nor try to pretend My heart will forever hold you close at hand As I refuse to sing to a loveless band. |

A Whisper's Caress, thank you. Yes, a sad song. Funny how sadness can so easily turn into music, isn't it? Mark, spoiling me again with another poetic response, and naturally it is uplifting and sweet. Thank you so much for this one. (and every one) ethome, the music has been a bit rainy for me lately, but the sun's going to have to show up sooner or later. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you liked it. Butterflies Don't Cry, thank you for such a sweet response. I was hoping the love would come out in this one. Kethry, thank you very much, but you haven't heard me sing yet. (smiling) Elizabeth, thanks for reading. Music, to me, is sometimes just the most fitting outlet for poetic thought. Thanks everyone, and take care ~ Rainydays |

Rainydays - I can relate to your writing. It is very difficult to sing about goodbye. But, may your heart sing. Bill |

RainyDays~ When the blues comes along I just sing it Belt it out loud and long For melancholy best knows the chorus of a heart without a song And then - Croon a tune that rains with willow-weeping sigh On the heart it will break into a sad goodbye Or- Take a little sad song give it a melody Share it with another heart who might sing it merrily *Well .... thanks for these little inspirations ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Because it is not time to sing good-bye just yet and because I can bump when I want to LOL. |
