Leave Me Here To Dream

Song Lyrics

Leave Me Here To Dream

I cannot see my way
without you beside me
there's no future left
no future, without you

I've lost you forever
I'm here all alone
future is empty
my path is unknown

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

Your smile, was my light
and now you are gone
like a flower that died
without any sun

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

A guitar without strings
your music has stopped
but my memories, they cling 
they're all that I've got

I'm a stream without water
tears just don't flow
the river I've cried 
it's emptied my soul

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

Come back to see me
if only in my sleep
let me know what it's like
beyond this world, as I weep

I'll wait for you

I'll wait for you

please, please, wait for me.

This is a stunning write Shirley...amazing as lyrics. Do you.play ...can you.put music to it? That would be wonderful. I know this has come from.a deeply broken heart and I believe it is all the more powerful for that. Truly outstanding  X

Love the title and the chorus. Guitar without strings and stream without water are great metaphors. You could tell, if you didn't already know, that a poet had written these lines. "Like a flower that died without any sun" is a great simile. And the ending - I think I've mentioned before about your endings - is perfect. Now all you have to do is write some music. Love it my friend. You are so talented. As you said the heart and soul of a poet. 🌹

My dear Bernie, after a five month cryathon this is what came out, I'd say if I could choose any type music for this it would be the grand piano or the  acoustic guitar and maybe a touch of violin, but I'm not a musician by any means. Thank you dear Bernie, for your compassion and all Sir. 🌹
