Louise Gallagher posted a poem which inspired me to set it to music

lyrics

If I Could Give You My Heart
©2021 Louise Gallagher

If I could
I would give you my words
plump and full of
promises
dancing in the ecstasy
of never having to leave
you
without words

If I could
I would paint you the sunrise
bold and fiery
colours streaking across the sky
full of morning delight
threaded with gold
melting like butter
upon a piece of warm buttered toast

If I could
I would sing you a song of sunset
full of sun-bathed mountains
stretched out across the horizon
like a dragon
sleeping
at the edge of the world
where sky tumbles into the sea
and the moon rises high
and pulls the night up into a sky
full of stars falling like snow
melting your dreams awake

If I could
give you my heart
would you listen
deep
to the beat of its silence
echoing throughout the vastness
of time wooing your fear
of falling
asleep
like a lullaby
spun into a cradle of love
that can never break

If I could
give you my heart
would you listen
deep?
