These are some lyrics I've been working on. The music has an upbeat, jazz/blues feel to it. I'd really appreciate any comments, criticisms, or ideas you have.

 

Twilight

 

v.

The stars are burning brightly

Sliver of moon up in the sky

The warmth of this summer evening

Is glowing in your eyes

 

ch.

In the twilight, in the twilight

In the twilight, the twilight

 

v.

A breeze is blowing lightly

And it whispers through your hair

The beauty of your smile

Is almost more than I can bear

 

ch.

In the twilight, in the twlight

In the twilight, the twilight

 

Br.

Let's ride this wave, let's dance all night

Let's paint a scene in this silver light

It's our time baby, come fly with me

We can make this night an eternity

 

v.

Put your hand in my hand

Let' take this as far as it goes

Hold on to this moment, baby

Let's ride the wind as it blows

 

ch.

In the twilight, in the twilight

In the twilight, the twilight

Contrary to popular belief, I don't like being "that guy" (the guy who goes against popular opinion), but, your lyrics have the feel of something jotted down in about 5 minutes by someone not particularly talented as a lyricist - they're extremely blunt and boring.

 

There are very few Roger Waters, John Lennons and Paul McCartneys in this world. The rest of us will need to spend more time on our lyrics, let them marinate in our subconcious and then rewrite them.

 

anyway, U2 already used that chorus on their first album.

these lyrics seem a bit obvious. they don't add much to the idea. they don't convey the idea in a particularly striking way. try to focus on unique images to help give a personal feel to what is a pretty universal feeling/notion.
