The fire’s low, the party’s over
Just you and I the last to go
Why can’t I bear to say goodbye
I think you know, I think you know

Tonight you spoke to me so sweetly
Each time you smiled, it felt so right
And when we danced, you drew me close
Is this the night? Is this the night?

Is it in the stars? Could it be the light?
Is it just the moon? Could it be the night?

The moonlit path looks so inviting
Beneath a dark and starry dome
I take you hand, you understand
I’ll walk you home, I’ll walk you home

Is it in the stars? Could it be the light?
Is it just the moon? Could it be the night?

The moonlit path looks so inviting
Beneath a dark and starry dome
I take you hand, you understand
I’ll walk you home, I’ll walk you home
Walk you home, I’ll walk you home

I am a 'long suffering' songwriter.  What I 'suffer from' is a lack of ability to learn or play instruments or read music in real time from a staff with notes on it. Initially, I just wrote lyrics that no one would read.  So I began creating a capella vocal melodies that no one would listen to.  
     I learned to drag and drop notes onto a staff with software. . . which helped a little.  Microsoft came out with (for a little while) a software they called a music creator, but was actually just useful as a "chord generator".  That helped a little bit more.  I collaborated with talented musicians. . . and eventually found an incredibly talented professional musician who helped me to 'professionalize' some of my amateur offerings and didn't charge me money.  WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.  I had over 400 songs that were (according to musicians) "good ideas poorly played."  Then a friend suggested A.I. music.  Six months ago, the A.I. allowed me to create better music than I could manage on my own.  But it was "hit or miss."  A lot of work to make it do what I wanted instead of just letting it create what it wanted, and a lot of just plain luck involved.  THEN. . . within six months, the A.I. site allowed me to "cover my own songs," keeping MY vocal melody and vocal treatment (for the most part anyway) and MY (or my collaborators') instrumental melodies and finding far better and more professional instrumentation for the same melodies.  THAT was heaven.  I am truly blessed, and finally have justification for musical ideas I had as much as twenty five years ago.  Now, you can listen and evaluate whether it truly WAS worth sticking with it for the last thirty years.

Songwriter since 1966. Can't believe I still have to write protest songs. Prefer writing love songs and songs of praise for stand-up women and men, parodies, lyrical nonsense, blues and adaptations.
