What Would You Say?

What would you say
if I wrote you a song?
If I wrote every verse
and every note too
I'd write it with care
and no I wouldn't dare
to forget all the times
that I spent with you.

I may not be there
but I really do care
how you feel
cause I think that this real.

So many things to say
but thoughts just get in the way
I know were apart
but maybe not for long
What would you say
if I wrote you a song?

What would you say
if I played my song for you?
Would you just stand up and clap
or would I get a hug too?
I would sing with all my heart
you know it's true
cause I give my all
when it comes to you.

You may be far away
but I still have the right to say
that I love you
and I care for you too.

So many things to say
but thoughts just get in the way
I know were apart
but maybe not for long
what would you say
if I wrote you a song?

A song means so much
when you put your own touch
make you feel alive
or make you wanna cry.
But I hope you feel the love
that I'm sending from above
cause I care for you
And I want you to care for me too

What would you say
if I wrote you a song
would you care at all
if it was very long
there's not much I can do
but I can write a song for you
and if you ask
I might just sing it too.

What would you say?
What would you say?
Baby what would you say if I wrote you a song?

    Beautiful I'm not so keen on the "from above" bit either, personally, but that's opinion

    Well done

    Hey...I teach algebra!!!! but I would be impressed if this was handed in .
    it is really lovely and I empathised with it so much being a poet and musician.
    I loved the repetitive nature of it and the direct speaking to this lost one ...and the requesting an answer that you would not ever hear.
    The fourth part where you sing with all your heart really got to me.

    I like the syle it is written in ...but I didn't like the two lines with "Baby" nor the "Wanna cry" and "from above" /... I think you can do better on those bits without the cliches...but hey, what do I know?

    Except this touched me

      You mean the song "I will write you a song"...I kinda got the idea from that song and something one of my friends said.
