What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

MOONLIGHT SERENADE

I stand at your gate
And the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June night
The roses are sighing
A Moonlight Serenade.

The stars are aglow
And tonight how their light sets me dreaming.
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and I sing you
A Moonlight Serenade

Let us stray
 Till break of day
In love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I,
 A summer sky
A heavenly breeze
Kissin' the trees.

So don't let me wait,
 Come to me tenderly in the June night.
I stand at your gate
 And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, 
My darling
A Moonlight Serenade
