If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes, that was my heart trying to compose a prelude to a kiss. Though its just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing much, you could turn it to a symphony a Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch. Oh how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes, my love is a prelude that never dies.. A prelude to a kiss...
