For this morning’s prompt, let’s explore voice. Some have a lovely singing voice. Some like to voice their opinions. There are those who have a huge platform for voice, and those who feel they have no voice at all. We refer to a “tone” in our voice. Of course we also recognize and admire a good poetic voice. However you would like to express yourself, we’re hear to listen.
MARIE’S VOICE

he sings. flies. calls. cries. songbird –

The lyrics:
YESTERDAY’S DREAMS
Melody and Lyrics by Walter J. Wojtanik – © 1982
Unconvincing lies of strangers,
hidden dangers, of the dreams we used to share.
They tell me, try to tell me that you never cared,
taking me far away, another day… alone.
Silence of the night, it finds me,
and reminds me, of the emptiness inside.
It chills me, slowly kills me to think love has died.
Now that you’re far away, I’ve got to say… it’s true…
I can’t live on YESTERDAY’S DREAMS.
Making plans on yesterday’s schemes.
I’m all over dreaming of yesterday and you!
I’ve heard it said that breaking up is hard to do,
but it’s not half as hard if you know what to do.
So go your separate way, without the urge to say…I love you.
Leaving me even more, like before so far away……
Yeah, so now you’re gone, and I’m dealing
with the feeling and the emptiness subsides.
I’m starting from our parting, and I feel alive.
The lies of yesterday, are truth today, because…
I can’t live on YESTERDAY’S DREAMS.
No more plans on yesterday’s schemes.
I’m all over dreaming of yesterday and you!
I’ve heard it said that breaking up is hard to do,
but it’s not half as hard if you know what to do.
So go your separate way, without the urge to say…I love you.
Leaving me even more, like before so far away……
Yeah, so now you’re gone, and I’m dealing
with the feeling and the emptiness is gone.
I’m starting from our parting, and I’m moving on.
The lies of yesterday, are truth today, because…
I can’t live on YESTERDAY’S DREAMS.
No more plans on yesterday’s schemes.
I’m all over dreaming of yesterday and you!
