This is intended as lyrics for a song.
It's not about me.
Any guitar-playing composers out there?

In a Perfect World

In a perfect world where the sun shines through
And your footprints lead me straight to you
I would follow you
In a perfect world, in a perfect world.

There would be songs to sing that fill my heart with love
There would be bells that ring rejoicing from above
With clarity and song we would travel on
In a perfect world, in a perfect world.

I would know your name and why my heart’s aflame
I would kiss your lips
In the falling rain
Till the day is through
I would worship you
In a perfect world, in a perfect world.

But somehow my life got rearranged
What was meant to be
Never followed me
Now my days are few
Still I think of you
In a perfect world, in a perfect world.

In my final days I will muddle through still in search of you
In that perfect world that I never knew
Yet with my final breath I will call for you
In that perfect world, in that perfect.world
That we never knew.

Only a few people get to know and understand what it is like to have found but could not enjoy that perfect love of which you speak. It is an aching, a longing, a desire that never truly goes away. An unimaginable dream of contentment that cannot be optained, still, we who know that kind of love are truly blessed. Well done Edward.

I think we all dream of what was meant to be, but circumstances got in the way and we never were as fulfilled as we wanted to be. So the song applies to many that makes it a classic if it is put to music and sung with passion. It is often the combination of the music, the words and the melody that makes a song stand out.

Love the rhythms, tone, and cadence of this fine poem, with its effective use of repetition, dealing with elusive love. Fine work.
