I wrote this as a poem, but I think it screams to be a song.
Edit: added a chorus.
Verse 1:
C.D.......E...d..E.......d..D..C
I can't see beyond tomorrow
I only have today
To put off all the sorrow
I know will come some day
Hear me call you baby
Even when my lips don't move
Love me like the first time
Like there's nothing left to lose
Chorus:
Love me like the first time
When we danced across the stars
Love me like there's no time
Left to wonder who we are
Love me like forever is
Just one more picture show
Love me like today will be
The last we'll ever know
Verse 2:
Every day you show me
There's no one else but me
Every day I hold you like
There's nowhere else to be
Baby don't you worry
I've got all I'll ever need
And you don't have to hurry
But don't waste a single beat
Verse 3:
Don't let the future slow us
'Cause it may never come
Today is all there is
So let's take it on the run
I can't see beyond our heartbeats
So all I've got is now
Just tell me that you love me
And I'll dance you to the clouds
Chorus:
Love me like the first time
When we danced across the stars
Love me like there's no time
Left to wonder who we are
Love me like forever is
Just one more picture show
Love me like today will be
The last we'll ever know
(repeat chorus)
Love me like the first time
Like it's all we'll ever know
Made some minor changes, singing this through: Trimmed the vocals in the first few lines; took out the second chorus so verses 2 and 3 come together; in verse 3 I shortened lines 2 & 4, changed lines 5-7; added a 2-line outro after 2x chorus.)
