I thought I’d share some more of my lyrics to my songs. I love words. I love words fitting in a song. Suppose that’s why I enjoy writing. I get so inspired when I hear thoughtful phrasing and terrific imagery. It can be simple. It can be complicated. Just like good colors complimenting each other. I love when words fit in a different sort of way..

This is my interpretation of a girl who only feels comfortable in certain settings, certain lighting, and in a certain blue dress..

I’ve always loved the names Amelia and Jane..and so became this character’s name..I googled Amelia Jane and this book series came up. This Amelia Jane apparently misbehaves quite a bit. Pretend her dress is a shade of blue too. :) 

Amelia Jane (Toussant)

When Amelia wears her little saphire dress

she courtseys to the mirror

she hears just what is nice to hear

Amelia dances and sings

to what she has kept unseen

in the beauty of the dress

she feels the beauty of herself

Oh Amelia smile

that you awoke today

Sweet Amelia

even pretty in shades of gray

Amelia will leave the house today

plans with friends to prose and play

Amelia Jane will be the story

delighted in all the glory

Amelia how your mood would change

in flush shades of Ruby

who do you admire in blue

just give the credit all to you

Oh Amelia smile

that you awoke today

Sweet Amelia

even pretty in shades of gray

Amelia so fair and true

let any hue feel like blue
