Analysis of The song you sing.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The song you sing.

I can hear the song you sing, and I do understand. You hold the key to love and fear in the palm of your trembling hand. Just one key will unlock the door. It's there at your command. I won't make a stand. Because I know you understand. Walk right through, and you will see it's not up to me. This has to be. Just one teardrop from your eyes, and he will be there by your side. He has been waiting for a long time. Now you're his and not mine. I must go I'm out of time. I hope you both have a good time. I can hear the chimes.
