a song, love, test, vocabulary
i don't know how this happened but this just came out of my fluid brain yesterday so i wrote it down. it doesn't look like a poem. i was listening to nina simone the night before trying to get to sleep. that might explain the form it took. actually i was thinking it was a song when i was jotting it down.
so somebody put a melody to it and i'll have one of my female vocalists play with it.
don't let me know you love me
and i'll be fine
when you smile and say my name
i'll smile and i'll play the game
but love is not a game to play
it's life and death for me you see
so, don't let me know you love me
and i'll love you more
i'll love you more than violets
or butterflies in june
we can face the wet winds of winter
or welcome the fresh breeze of spring
so take my hand
take this wedding band
just don't let me know you love me
and i'll be fine
i'll love you for a lifetime
if only you'll be mine
just don't let me know you love me.
just don't ever let me know you love me.

bravo! :lol:are you one over the eight yet, friend?
let's see now… nine? or 1/8? an eighth of a man.or won over the eight, as in… out from behind the eight ball? not quite… too soon to tell.roksana…. say it in other words please… i really didn't get it.
not bad words at all. i get it now. over the limit we say… over the legal limit for driving.no, roksana and i won't be tomorrow either. i had to give up drinking. it seems i am allergic to alcohol. i break out in handcuffs.sober more than five years.
yes, roksana, i noticed that life is long.but i'll stick around as long as i am still interested.how old are you?i know… a gentleman never asks a woman her age. but who said i'm a gentleman?:rolleyes:
8 times eight? 64? no, tomorrow… i'll be sixty-four."will ya still love me when i'm sixty-four…." beattles
yes, you don'tbut and me, I am not a lady :lol:40
ups… I found they in my vocabulary :Dthey are bad words????I wanted ask if you had drink somethink already….
ohh… it's right… it will be tomorrow…but I don't feel time. never.you are really powerful man skottand I tell you a my privat secret:today I present it for youLIFE IS LONG
Brilliant song. Makes good sense plus the words have that ring to them that´ll make them remembered.Well done!
roksana… you make me laugh.allan glad you like the song. i tried to sing it but i am not musical enough. i tried it as a blues song and i tried it as sort of like nora jones… can't do willie nelson. but that would be best.that's the first song i ever wrote.i'll print it and give it to halldor's wife, olan.if she doesn't like it, i have mews small or mary shour to give it to.
Much as I hate to boast, I just got one hundred on that test. I must admit, I guessed two of the words, though.I like the poem/lyrics. It does sound like a song, even without music, which is a good sign.
thanks quentin. marvelous to get 100. i thought i got all of them right and that they just didn't give out 100% guess i missed one.thank you for commenting.
Nina Simone it's a good choice to enchante everybody's hearts :love:
Great work Scott.I took the opp to make some links to you and HEG on my new site.http://bigdadgib.wordpress.com/I hope they are ok with you.Keep it up…. BDG
what a beautiful poem Scott! And yes, love is life and death for me too… :heart:
Scott! I'm working on the song !Do you know any "music-sheet" programs ?
cool. i need that… if i can't get paid on the ground, maybe i can make some money in the air. (cyberly)i appreciate your approval of my work. so good to have ally.it reminds me of when i crossed the country with my new christmas present years ago… a cb radio. on the way out from new york to washington state, i got five speeding tickets. on the way back i got none. hammer down all the way. "picture-taker at mile marker 145 highway 80 east.", gently lift off the pedal and cruise by him with a friendly wave at 55 mph. what a ball.luckily my wife also gave me a book on the lingo.i didn't have time to get a license for it. my handle: "barefoot boy"of course it was ripped off two days after returning to nycwhen i was a wee small whipersnapper of 13 i hitched across the country from ny to la and from ny to florida a few times and it was the truckers that i was most grateful for. i don't think it's like that anymore though. it all being so 'illegal' and all.be cool bigdad
that's my blind spot. i can read music for the piano but i am tone deaf. i can carry a tune but i can't write a tune. you can't have everything. someone will know though and comment. ask musicna.just remember you can use a 'knife' on this… just keep the theme going…"don't let me know you love me…" that's the meat.thanks for sticking around.
😆 :p
does it matter when you can express yourself in so many other ways? :heart:
like i said, you can't have eveything. i love music and i can almost hear this song. i will polish it when i have more time. why didn't they give us 36 hours for a day? then we could sleep a good eight hours and have twenty four for work and play.
🙄
:heart: 😀
Your the best Scott.:yes:BDG
Hauntingly beautiful song, Scott. It's such a privilege to have the opportunity to know such an amazingly talented person.
very beautiful, scott…maybe one day u will no only be illustrator, painter & author, but also a lyricist
thanks dad.kim… that's a good thing. wouldn't it be funny if i wound up supporting my painting with money from writing?hauntingly beautiful, fran? i like that. thanks for the pat on the back. i needed that.
yes, it would b nice, scott
Those lyrics are sweet. Vulnerable. I love it!
