if I could be with you today
you know that our love would find a way
if only I could
you know that I would

if you could just give some time to me
I know that I'd feel your esctacy
if only you could
you know that I would

but love is impossible to find
when everyone seems to be unkind
and poetry's more than just a rhyme
please give me some time

if it is our true destiny
your beautiful face is all I'd see
if only we could
you know that I would

but love is impossible to find
when everyone seems to be unkind
and poetry's more than just a rhyme
please give me some time

if I could be with you today
you know that our love would find a way
if only I could
you know that I would

if only I could
if only you could
if only we could
you know that I would

Ooh! I ask for an "honest opinion" and I get vote-slammed. I guess I should have seen that one coming.

Jealous much?
Richard Melendez Aug 15, 2006, 6:13pm EDT
... reflects the yearning and longing in all of us.

Ignore the bad vote. I think this is a very fine effort, and I think the rhythm works well. Were you thinking slow dance kind of music? That's kind of how I hear it.
Cynthia B. Aug 15, 2006, 6:39pm EDT
Actually, the tune in my head is a rather bouncy and upbeat pop melody.
Nancy S. Aug 15, 2006, 6:50pm EDT
Okay, I'll reread it that way....
yeah, the rhythm stills works!

sounds great to me the way you post it and the words you use are excellent.Don't worry about who slammed you .They have a problem not you .You write excellent :)

I like it Cynthia....honestly :-)
Edward Nudelman Aug 15, 2006, 8:08pm EDT
I love it! Would like to hear the melody. Are you going to score it? Guitar chords? I'm thinking start with C then Em, the F, then G. Good luck with it!
Cynthia B. Aug 15, 2006, 9:04pm EDT
Thanks for the guitar chords, Edward. I don't have a guitar on hand, though I do have a keyboard. (I'm getting my daughter an acoustic guitar for Christmas, but that's quite some time away.)

And thanks to all who commented. I appreciate your support and good vibes.

Cynthia......I love the lyrics......and believe they are some many people can indentify with...
Bonnie Sayers Aug 16, 2006, 12:14pm EDT
Very nice lyrics.
Cat Givens Aug 16, 2006, 7:33pm EDT
Ah that universal longing. You've stated this so well, I can definitely hear this bouncy too.

I think you have a little bit of the Gershwin and Cole Porter in you, Cynth, these lyrics are lilting in that glorious Thirties and Forties' pop tune way. Very, very nice stuff. My favorite bit (which you were wise to refrain): "but love is impossible to find
when everyone seems to be unkind
and poetry's more than just a rhyme
please give me some time."
