loving again (II)

After listening to the song today I have altered part "A". Although the numbers of syllables seemed to fit at first glance my lyric did not match the meter of the tune, i.e. number of syllables AND their intonation. As I had suspected part "E" did not fit at all, and I had overlooked that it's being repeated. Since I found no viable rhymes to "forgive", and having to add another line anyway, I've rewritten that particular line completely. Looking up rhymes for "power" I found "flower", "tower", and "devour". I'm not quite happy with the outcome, it has become a bit schmaltzy, but it should do - at least it fits the melody much better than my normal writing style ;-)

loving again


my friend [spoken]

A:
I witnessed your hardship and
your sorrow
there was nothing that I could do or say
to open up your eyes

B:
tonight
for the first time,
you are happy
for the first time,
you feel loved

C:
I've always cared for you, hoping to see you happy
I've seen your pain, felt your hurt, your suffering
now your eyes shine again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again

D:
these things may happen sometimes
you're careless and green
falling in love with the wrong one
it can take its time to learn
to see through lies
and deception

B:
tonight
for the first time,
you are happy
for the first time,
you feel loved

C:
I've always cared for you, hoping to see you happy
I've seen your pain, felt your hurt, your suffering
now your eyes shine again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again

E:
when you love
the past will loose its power
when you love
you'll be blooming like a flower

C:
I've always cared for you, hoping to see you happy
I've seen your pain, felt your hurt, your suf'ring
now your eyes shine again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again
you're smiling again
trusting again,
loving again
