You said yes in a sea filled with nos

You brought me a poem

I gave you a rose

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

So perfect together

Like sunshine and flowers

Love is forever

Love is forever

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I see

When I think of you

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I feel

When I am with you

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Sunny smiles hover around

Your face is a flower

Real love has been found

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Frosty morning kiss goodbye

A promise to see you

Once again tonight

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I see

When I think of you

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I feel

When I am with you

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿชป

With Love, RHC โค๏ธ

    Iโ€™m listening to โ€˜Blackbird Flyโ€™ as I read. Just downloaded from Spotify - I have to find my way to your Vocal+ piece about the song to leave comments to page!!

    I absolutely love the line Lilac and rose and indigo blue, Rick. It fairly trips off the tongue. The music and the rhythm of the poem would make an amazing song lyric. Do you write music as well?
