Just putting a quick and easy one out there while I work on some more challenging lyrics. Lots of ways to play with this one.
NOTE: Berni has set this to music and so has oswlek and so has ohljazz.
Life’s never blue
All thanks to you
Your love is true
Do you
Remember
The timeless mile
You wore a smile
And all the while
My heart
Grew tender?
Please let me say
I’ll always stay
Won’t run away
Today
Or ever
The whole world knows
Our lo-ove flows
Because we go
So well
Together

Just posted my jazz "standard" version
@ohljazz Feb 2022
Hope it's not too late - I have a jazz version in the works
@oswlek Feb 2022
Sent up.
@oswlek Feb 2022
Lovely, Doug. I have a workable musical idea but it has a chorus. I might be able to use one of the stanzas here - the similar structure isn't a big problem - though it might be better to write something new. I'll send over an idea and see what you think.

Another nice lyric. Short and sweet. Looking forward to hearing it from Berni
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
A beautiful flow of lyrics! Looking forward to hearing Berni's musical interpretation!

Sometimes a song just needs to say one pure thing. And those songs are usually the ones that are universally loved. These lyrics do it brilliantly.
@klaus Feb 2022
This is very well written in many different ways but what I especially like about this is a) good meter and b) it's not too long. And there is no bridge.
This kind of lyric is very musician friendly. It leaves the musician lots of space to do his thing which is music. I really appreciate this in a lyricists. I think most lyricist in Fawm tend to write too much, too many words, when in reality you don't need lots of words, you just need the right words. :)

Oh I had a tune come automatically into my head while reading this. Can I give it a shot. It'll be tomorrow or Friday though probably!
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
I heard the same thing Alex heard. Not my style but I hope someone takes this one. It's got lots of promise. Well done, Doug!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Yeah it is tempting and Alex has made me think the same way! A singers song for sure. Will check back in a few days if its still around.

Hearing doowop music in my head as I read the lyrics! Trying not to overcommit early on but darn, this is tempting...
