Kathy Mar Sonnet Lyrics

Sonnet Lyrics

I sent you a sonnet



I stole from a woman



Who shared all my fears



You'll never imagine the courage it cost me



To wait out the years



Knowing that time was against ever meeting you







Loving you still for your songs



Trusting the truth of the lyrics



I've learned from you



Wishing on stars and singing on street corners



Hoping that you'd come along







And if you should hear this don't



feel obligations to answer these lines



I'm happy just knowing I've



told you I love you within these poor rhymes







Portuguese sonnets and second hand songwriters 



sending you fan-letter love cannot express 



all the beauty I see in you



Found in your words,



Locked in your songs



are the feelings that I'm singing of.



















Words and music:Kathy Mar
