Sonnet #1 Lyrics

It happened on a day just like the Rest,
somewhere between the Winter and the spring.
A feeling that began within my chest,
then overflowed, and took me on the wing.

A shiver unaccompanied by cold,
a burning that had naught to do with heat.
A prophecy that had not been foretold,
a journey untraversable by feet.

A scent that seemed of Roses in full bloom,
a taste like summers’ fruit or winters’ frost.
A sound like silent child within the womb,
a raging sea that has yet to be crossed.

A malady that only God above
can diagnose: I think I’ve fall’n in love.

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
