Topic: A Song of Love

After a fairly low-energy time, I have finally written another song and posted it today on Soundcloud. I hope you enjoy it.

A SONG OF LOVE - © Marian Kerr, 2015
3/4 - waltz time

Intro: [F]/  [G]  [G]  [C]  [C]/

(Tacet) There are [C] songs that soothe a [F] babe to sleep
And [G] songs that cause your [C] heart to weep
There are [C7] songs that lift you [F] high above
And [G] songs that tell a [C] tale of love

Chorus1:
But how can I [C7] sing a [F] love song when I [G] have a broken [C] heart?
How can I [C7] sing a [F] love song when [G] we're so far a-[C]part?
I wish I could find a love song to [G] tell you how much you [C] mean
Maybe I'll [C7] sing a [F] love song - but [G] only in my [C] dream

[C] Music has power to [F] touch (heal?) the soul
And [G] music can make the [C] wounded heart whole
Music can [C7] wash a-[F]way the pain
And [G] help you believe in [C] love again

Chorus1:
But how can I [C7] sing a [F] love song when I [G] have a broken [C] heart?
How can I [C7] sing a [F] love song when [G] we're so far a-[C]part?
I wish I could find a love song to [G] tell you how much you [C] mean
Maybe I'll [C7] sing a [F] love song - but [G] only in my [C] dream

Instrumental: (picking)
[C]  [F]  [G]  [C]  [C7]  [F]  [G]  [C]  [C]

Chorus 2: (picking)
One day you may [C7] hear my [F] love song
and [G] know it's meant for [C] you
Then you will [C7] know for-[F]ever [G] that my love is [C] true
Maybe you'll find a love song and [G] sing it just for [C] me
Then [C7] we can sing our [F] song of love in [G] two-part harmo-[C]ny
(soft downstrums)
... Then [G] we will sing together. . . in [G7] perfect harmo-[C]ny

I'm not sure whether to use the word 'touch' or 'heal' in the first line of the second verse. I wrote it as 'touch' but accidentally sang it as 'heal'.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: A Song of Love

Thank you so much.

I'm still very much finding my way - Choruses often pop into my head but then I can't think of anything to hang a verse on. Practice I guess. . .

Re: A Song of Love

Very good work, Mazzy ... in all respects. Your lyrics and the way you sing them have a lot of emotion under them.

Thankyou. Emotion is what it is all about. Thankyou for appreciating what I share.
