Love Heart - Part 2

About a year ago I wrote a poem called Love Hearts.

It was a simple idea, apropos of nothing, written at a time when I was on a packet a day.
So simple an idea that I wondered if it had been done before. But I'd no reason to believe it had.

The idea was to turn the popular Swizzels Matlow sweetie into a poem.
I knocked it out in a few minutes. It was never designed to be a masterpiece, just a throwaway.

But this month I thought I'd try an experiment in putting it to music.

So with the power of the Internet I hired an excellent US singer who put a little tune to it.

What started out as cheeky little pairs of couplets, turned into a simple melancholic, you might say bittersweet, performance.

I am going to remind you of the lyrics, in case you have forgotten them (!).

Like You
I'm Shy
My Girl
Don't Cry

Trust Me
Be Mine
True Love
Good Time

My Girl
Your Boy
In Love
Your Toy

Find Me
You Dope
New Love
My Hope

Aim High
Catch Me
Lucky Lips
You'll See

Now you can play the song....


Is this what they call teamwork, liaison, dare I say.....community?
