Analysis of Poetry

“ MY LOVE “

 ( West Life )

An empty street, and empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how, I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together

And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love that seems so far

Chorus :
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again

My love

I try to read, I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking oh no
I wonder how, I wonder why
I wonder were they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together

And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love that seems so far
(Chorus )

To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
what I'm thinking of

I'm reaching for a love that seems so far
(Chorus )

My Love

I say a little prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again
