This is a song I wrote and recorded while in college. It's called "On a Cloud" and I wrote 2 versions of it per the advice of a songwriting teacher at the school. Here are the (original) lyrics of the song:
On A Cloud
by Robert Milton, Nathan Owen, and Jonathan Sprang
v. 1
I lie awake, I dream of you
Your lips so red, your eyes so blue
We dance alone, the moon upon us
And as I sleep I feel your touch
Chorus
If ever given the chance
To tell you how I feel
If I ever get the courage to speak
If my mind ever tells my lips to move
I would utter this
v. 2
I could lie on a cloud
I could watch the falling raindrops
I could kiss a star, swallow the night
But then I fall and all is gone
v. 3
My frightened eyes glance around me
Then peace overcomes these thoughts of fear.
For you are there right beside me
And in my arms I hold my dream.
c. 2000
Upon the advice of my teacher I changed the 2nd & 3rd verses to keep the tension found in the chorus.
v. 2
I could lie on a cloud
From there I see your falling teardrops
I could kiss your cheek, hold you tight
But when I wake you’re always gone
v. 3
My frightened eyes glance around me
For I know that you aren’t really here
But when I close my eyes you’re right beside me
And in my arms I hold my dream.
Let me know what you think.

This song is by my band, 3 Miles From Sunday, live at a local coffee shop. Our lead guitarist has adjusted some of the licks so that it isn't so repeatitive. We are going to be laying down so tracks in a couple of weeks and I will post them then.
