I sing a song of melody
A tune of joy and euphony.
My guitar is with symmetry
That I may paint joy in your face
And touch your soul with so much grace.
I hit the notes, soft and lovely
As I play the song so lively.
The message in its ardent flame,
I sing a song of melody.
I am an artist, yet lonely
But my soul is full of beauty.
Hold my arms and feel my embrace
As my song descends in the space.
Forbear of love in reverie,
I sing a song of melody.
