I'll be Bach

So I was playing around with a bunch of chords the other day and I came up with a song. Like, with actual music to actually go along with the lyrics. This is like, the very first song I composed! Just think: I'm like the Terminator pretending to be a musician!

Anyway here's the lyrics. It sounded like a love song so I wrote love song lyrics. And if you think writing lyrics is easy when you've done so many parodies, I can tell you, it sure isn't, 'cos you have no other inspiration to work from. I think I'll stick to parodies after this one.

Tonight, a not-parody-song by The Edna Man
[Verse 1]
Sunlight is fading
And the darkness invading
It's getting late; we have to go
And the sound of stars soaring
Right for tomorrow's morning
One more goodbye, one less hello

[Chorus]
I wish I could reach out and hold you
And I wish I could just do this right
I wish I could tell you I love you
If only for
Tonight
Tonight

[Verse 2]
I can't figure these feelings
I don't know I'm concealing
Could be I just don't understand
And time just keeps on flying
And I just keep on trying
Why must good things come to an end?
(If they don't start again)

[Chorus]
And I wish I could reach out and hold you
And I wish I could just do this right
I wish I could tell you I love you
Just one more time
Tonight
Tonight

[Bridge]
When we're apart
You know it's breaking my heart, now
If I had the courage to say what I feel
And under the moonlight
Everything might seem alright
Yet I don't know whether it's real

[Chorus]
I wish I could reach out and hold you
And I wish I could just do this right
I wish I could tell you I love you
Just one more time
Tonight

[Second Chorus + Ending]
I wish that you were right here beside me
And I wish I could see you again
I wish that we could last forever
When you are here
Don't disappear
Just hold me near
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight


Jarrel says it sounds like Disney; he obviously hasn't heard enough Disney.
