A Story Of Music

Assuming my emotions being under control
It wasn’t my intention that I met you at all
But since you’d crossed my way
You’d been the brightest light on any single day

The moment when we talked remembering from my mind
I realized your gracefulness in any kind
Had felt that you were the one
I’d searched you since the first time having seen the sun

If I had known the right way what to say
Without your need being compelled to turn me down
I’d never meant asking too much of you
But please believe me
Night and day were yearning
To make you understand how much you meant to me

Oh, even if it didn't seem to you so true
I looked for every unobtrusive way to be with you
Not given you did good to me
Although I would’ve wished it deeply bad to be

If I had known the right way what to say
Without your need being compelled… compelled to turn me down
I’d never meant asking too much of you
But please believe me
Night and day were yearning
To make you understand how much you meant to me

Every day looking for a moment
Accepting the sorrow of intense
Keeping until the next day
To do it right without any sense

Had always feared the moment you were gonna leave
And didn't know the circumstances how I would believe
Hoped for relief from my pain
Because the reality of never meeting you again

Confessional Note

Thanks to artificial intelligence, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Phil Collins, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson came together for one time to sing along:
