Hey Dawn, reminds me of early, early Joni--cool--

Like the song very much. Sounds so "open". You have a beautiful voice, and I love "dinner done/cinnamon"! It also sounds great how line 4 of each verse unfolds...

Assignment  for Berklee songwriting course is verse 2 to chorus 1.

She Lives in Present Tenses

Verse 1 
The hour is late and the dinner done
Cappuccino dusted with cinnamon
Romance spun from gypsy violins
And she wonders if he’ll ask her home with him

Verse 2 
She likes that singing silver sound 
Of the spoon when he stirs his coffee round
He drinks dark roast with honey and cream
And she’s almost sure this is a dream

Chorus 
He has candlelit eyes of experience
But his eyes, they don’t say forever
But when they’re together
Somehow he senses she lives
She lives in present tenses

Verse 3 
Midnight walk along a river
All consumed by kisses and quivers
She feels so wonderful
When he tells her
He tells her she’s beautiful

Chorus  
He has moonlit eyes of experience
But his eyes, they don’t say forever
But when they’re together
Somehow he senses she lives
She lives in present tenses
