High as a Dove

Written back in early 80’s while I was in college over a girl.

High as a Dove

I was flying high as a dove

Thought I could do without your love

But now I’ve been shot down

And you are nowhere aroun’

What am I going to do?

I have no one to help me

With love I just can’t see

I need so much help

And no one can give me help

Except you alone

And you won’t even phone

I was flying high as a dove

Thought I could do without your love

But now I just can’t fly

Baby I don’t want to die

What am I going to do?

Oh, baby I am alone

I’m just out of the zone

Please bring love to me

So that I will ever be

Maybe together

I won’t worry ever

I was flying high as a dove

Thought I could do without your love

But now I’ve been shot down

And you are nowhere aroun’

These sound as if they could be the lyrics of a song. You’ll have to put music to it. Nice work.
