Everybody is Writing Love Poems so Here's a Country Song.

Day's over time is done

We've done our work had our fun

Now it's time to rest our weary heads

I laid mine down 

To close my eyes 

I listen to the gentle sighs

Of wind and rain 

And big dogs on their beds

I think about tomorrow too

Of all the work I have to do

The lonely  time I won't see you

Except for your picture on the wall

I'm wondering if you think of me

Wondering if you want to be with me

Laughing at the times we shared alone

But now I'm drifting into sleep

The past is present the future deep

Too many things for which I can't atone

Cause the times we spent together

Are like reflections of the moonlight on a midnight stream

They sparkle as they shine

Down those rocky crescent lines

But the clouds blow by and take away my dreams 

◄ Compost

Sound of Rain ►

Once again, wonderful words! Bravo Adam, It would make a lovely lullaby! On the piano too but the simple G D Am is simple and clear, country-blues type. In such cases the simpler the better! You can't fail when you stick to the classics! Can't wait to hear it!?

I can almost smell the woodsmoke Adam. It's a simple remedy for simple folk I always feel with that wonderful laid back sentimentality that travels so well. I can't handle lyrics myself, but I do play the banjo a bit, so find my mind wandering into that area. Enjoyable all round!

Thankyou for your good 'ol country advice Adam. You did well to come back in rhyme with sensible ideas (serious not flippant comment)

You did well to listen to my link. The kiddies would like you ..?.

Don
I listened to your link
And though it didn't stink
Here is what I think

All tunes country sound the same
whether in G or D or in A minor framed
This one sounds more Cash than Brooks
but in country like Pop its more about looks

Long as you wear your boots and hat
you could sing sharp or you could sing flat
Long as you have those denim jeans
you don't really have to sing for beans

So listen to a country song
and just sing my lyrics you won't go wrong

Here comes my flippant self again
The one who looks for fun
Although our Do likes lovey ones
A country one you've done

Well dun Adam.....

However I do have a prob
You've writ a country song
You didn't say what tune to use
Should I use Puss Ding Dong?
