lyrics

Sonnet
Dwight Evan Young/Vince Rostkowski

I wrote you a Shakespearean sonnet.
It took a year to phrase it just right.
Internal rhyme each line I wrote on it,
First to last verse, it’s bound to excite.
Babe, you’ll be just smitten
With my juxtaposition.
Inspiration struck me like a comet,
It’s so sincere, can’t wait for you to hear…

[CHORUS]
You’d be so impressed
With my sonnet, I confess,
You’d let me in your heart,
Where I ought to be.
Words can overjoy,
Overstate overt and coy
Feelings I can’t hide,
You revive in me.

I hid my work, there’s no need to flaunt it.
Poems for girls are just a bit cliché.
I’d read it now, but somehow it’s gone, it
Must have grown legs, got up and ran away.
Lost, my fleeting artwork,
Goodbye my wit and wry quirks.
Well maybe I didn’t write you a sonnet,
The thought still counts—It’s been a busy year…

[CHORUS]
