Look... I’m in your heart
When it’s dark in there and shadows
Fall around you when you sleep
I’ll be waiting here to guide you and...
To comfort you and keep
You from anything or anyone that...
Can do you any harm
I will hold you when the wind blows
Strong to bring you back to calm
We shall fly away from all the pain
From everything you fear
I shall make the sun dry all the rain
And every hurtful tear
Hold out your hand for wonderland
You’ll never be alone
And one day you will understand
My love will always guide you home

This is 100% inspired by Tom Waits song "Rainbow Sleeves" sung here by Ms Lee-Jones
You used to dream yourself away each night
To places that you've never been
On wings made of wishes that you whispered to yourself
Back when every night the moon and you would sweep away
To places that you knew you would never get the blues
Now whiskey gives you wings to carry each one of your dreams
And the moon does not belong to you
But I believe that your heart keeps young dreams
Well, I've been told to keep from ever growing old
And a heart that has been broken will be stronger when it mends
Don't let the blues stop your singing
Darling, you only got a broken wing
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
A worthy tribute indeed Andrew - the words of the song too say so much to this reader. Thank you for sharing the both.
A fine write Andrew. Just don't hold on to my singing (last line)! It will get no-one no-where! lol.

Great words Andrew.
Wonderful write Andrew, that love will never fail.
Simply beautiful and perfect. I love your choice of song, also.
Listening now but your words are spectacular my friend! To live by
not only are your words both great and truly memorable.. you chose a delightful track to accompany them sir.....
and just out of curiosity, did you pen these for your daughter Scarlet by any chance....... Neville
The words that are this song
For whom that you have strung
These words are really strong
Both when read and when sung
