Prose for Thought – Be With You
Last week saw the most linkers so far to our lovely group of poetry writers. I have become very proud of this link up, mainly due to the amazing talents that showcase their work here. I am truly grateful for your support.
This week I am exposing myself in the biggest way I think possible, even bigger to me than getting naked! I am not only sharing with you a song I wrote but also sung…on stage back in 2011… and attached is the recording of this same song. This is the demo recording we did in my flat with two very talented musicians – Angela McCarthy and Andrew Smith. On stage every night I would sing it to Ross who was up in the lighting gallery doing sound. I wrote all the verses and a friend of mine wrote the chorus. One day I may get round to uploading the video of me on stage singing it but for now I believe I am exposing myself enough. Be kind please!
Be With You
Why is it everytime I try
Spread my wings and wanna fly
Theres a shadow hanging over me
Why is it when I get so near
Is it then I feel a fear
A kind of shadow hanging over me
(Chorus)
But you see the meaning
And I feel the feeling
That I wanna be with you
Not for just the good times
Travellin long the fine lines
And I wanna be with you
What if I said that I love you
But you didn’t love me too
Tell me just how I would handle this
And I’m so filled with dread and fear
I have shed many a tear
Not knowing how to handle this
(Chorus)
Now I look deep into your eyes
And I don’t need to disguise
Just how my heart can feel for you
Oh, to you I will stay true
I’m forever holding you
This is how my heart will feel for you

I’m also linking Prose for Thought to this week’s Wednesday Words over at Crazy with Twins
Wow, great lyrics, very emotional and moving. Thanks for bearing your soul….
Great lyrics! Thankyou for linking up to Wednesday Words. I really want to listen to your clip but sadly my broadband is with Sky… my connection is too slow for it to stream vids or music. I need a new laptop and a new provider!
Well done on sharing all. We all love reading it. xx
Gorgeous!! And WELL DONE you for facing the fear in ‘exposure’ and doing it anyway. Y A Y !!! I’m all for that. 🙂 Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautifully sung. Thank you for sharing. xx
That is wonderful. You were so brave to get up and sing it too! A very talented lady 🙂
You have a very special way with words. Beautiful meaningful lyrics.

I loved the lyrics and you are certainly talented when it comes to the ‘arts’. This is fab – love reading your posts. Even though I don’t always comment, I read them all x
You really are a multi-faceted lady! I am always so proud of people who “put themselves out there”. Lovely words – I haven’t yet listened to the song but I will. And now I’ve discovered yet another linky to join! I haven’t written poetry in years, I may dig out some of my teenage angst-ridden notebooks especially! Xx
