Lyrics: Wish You Were Here
By Yiyan Han (c) 2020-11-24

This piece is a heartfelt one with deep emotions. Will some one make it to Top of the Pops? Yeah, come on! Will Celine Dion, Katherine Jenkins, Jackie Evancho, Josh Daniel, or Ronan Keating be interested in taking it on? Originally written on 2015-12-15, and last addition of a new stanza on 2020-11-24, thanks to the excellent comments by fellow poetess Marion Price.
When I'm alone
my feeling's strongHeard you say
don't carry away
But I can't help it
'cause my sleepless mindWhen I'm alone
my feeling is strongIām despair
as you donāt care
But I can't help it
'cause my longing mindWish you were here
when I'm aloneWhen I'm alone
my feelingās strongWhen I'm alone
my feelingās strong

Very nice Yiyan but...a very short song ...maybe a little longer? Nobody would get to the dancefloor in time...š¤š¤
Yes, agree it's short. Think you just sing the verses twice ;))
Good answer!!! šš
An addition of a new stanza on 2020-11-24, thanks to your excellent comments! Cheers.
Nice song Yiyan! It's hard to get the sound of itĀ (obviously lol ;)) but the words are smashing! I reckon I'd love to see Marion dance XD!!! Kind regards. TFOTSĀ
ššš
Thanks,Ā TFOTS, for your liking. I can sing this piece myself in my tune - actually I can sing anything you write - in a self entertaining way ;))
Alone at last, lost alone different for everyone.Ā
Yeah - alone even if in relationship, and among crowds, etc ...
A very short song...but a lovely one x
Thanks, B.E., must be short then since you're the second person make such comment even after adding a newĀ stanza. I'll leave it as it now as I don't want to dilute the strong feelings expressed ;))
Awww....it is only short as a song...it is fine as a poem x
What a delightful marriage you have established between written poem and recorded song .. most unexpected but nevertheless enjoyed .. NevilleĀ
Dear Neville,
Yes, me too, "unexpected".Ā AnotherĀ unexpected thing
is the song on Youtube has unfortunately been removed.
But it can be listened/watched here:
Cheers,
