Topic: An Audience of One

I have never written anything of note and I don't know if this qualifies as anything but drivel but I woke at 4 this morning with a sudden urge to scribble this down.  I hope that tonight the music will come to me.  If not any help would be appreciated.  I feel it as a country style song - fairly slow and probably in a minor key.

An Audience of One


We sang a song together
About the way our love was strong
I never thought that song would end
But you have proved me wrong

We used to make sweet music
As we loved beneath the moon
Then over time it seems to me
You began to sing a different tune


You gave your love to someone new
You have learned a brand new song
And I just sat here singing to an audience of one.


I thought my life was over
The song we sang had died
I'd never sing another note
In truth I never tried

All my friends had left me
Or did I push them away
I didn't really feel like
I could go on another day


You gave your love to someone new
You have learned a brand new song
And I just sat here singing to an audience of one.


Over time the pain has eased
Though the scar will never heal
I have learned to use my music
To change the way I feel

Now I'm learning a new melody
Someone new has come along
I no longer have to sing my song
To an audience of one

You gave your love to someone new
You have learned a brand new song
But I no longer have to sing to an audience of one.

I'm happy I no longer sing to an audience of one.

Very nice poem/lyrics there!  Right away I heard a tune in my head, but I'd love to hear what you come up with.  Slow and easy and country for sure!  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

I liked it!  Not for the pain that obviously caused it, but I love a story told through words and you hit the nail on the head.  Good Job!

Hi Doll
Thank you so much for your comment.
There is music to it and it is in the songwriting section.  I hope to record it this weekend.  I will post a link when complete.
