1) I see you standing by the ocean tide
I watch as those tears slowly slide
down your sweet sorrowed face
and here in this place
I had to give my heart to you.
2) You were cold, by the way
those goosebumps showed
Like your eyes, a story so sad lay untold
so I walked through the sand
to see what I could do. Oh for you
3) You let me stand, by your side
Watching the waves collide
to the shore by the light of the moon
but this moment was over to soon
I wished there was more I could do.
4) I walked her home that night
This angel in my sight
And by the light of the door
I knew there was more for me
For she made me feel complete
5) I fell in love at the sight of those eyes
As they whispered a sweet goodnight.
The grace of her swaying form, so warm
Seemed to hold me there, on the stairs
Before she turned away, to a promise of another day.
A promise of another day.
Author notes
Well, I wrote these lyrics recently, not based on actual events but it describes me in three major ways - I always want to help people, I am very optomistic and I adore romance and love.

Enjoyed this write, as you personality showed through it all....Very nicely written..aunty

Perhaps it's just my perception but there's something very sad about those first two stanzas. Something deeper and more underlying...or perhaps I'm completely wrong.
Amazing poem nonetheless, reminds me why I love your work so much.

you are right
Well done, those first two stanzas do convey a sorrow, a very deep sorrow and pain but the woman opened something of herself and took a chance, a promise of tomorrow, where that tomorrow leads is up to the reader's imagination.
