Chatting with another songwriter about the feeling that it's hard to write anything new anymore; the classics have been written, the masters have been painted. The desire to write a love song is expressed in that way here.

lyrics

Well, the songs have all been written, the words already spoke
The pictures all been painted, the memories have been evoked
You know they say there’s nothing new now; it’s all been done before
No more music, art or poems, not much for this troubadour

I just want to write a love song to let the world know how I feel
Can’t find the words to say what my heart is telling me

I’d hang the moon & the stars for you, dear, if they weren’t already there
You loved me from the very start and then you won my heart so fair
The way your eyes light up around me makes the diamonds lose their shine
Like they’re jealous of your glow - the heart you’re holding there is mine

I just want to write a love song to let the world know how I feel
Can’t find the words to say what my heart is telling me
Yes, I just want to write a love song yhat I can sing for you
It may not be the first one but to me it’s all brand new
It may not be the first one, but from my heart it’s true
