The Face of Eleanor

Eleanor flies in by moonlight
She's captured the Dreams of your Heart
She's come a long way
And you want her to stay
Coz' she gives her love through the dark

You lie awake sleepin'
Your mind's in a stir
As nightfall comes creepin'
All your thinking of is Her

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like never before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

Long way to go yet with Eleanor me thinks?

Coz' she gives her love through the dark

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like you've never before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

Eleanor waits by the lakeside
She kisses you under Starlight
She gives you her hand
Then you walk over sands
And she gives you her love through the night

You know you are Dreamin'
But you don't really care
She gives you some meaning
And you see her everywhere

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like you've never before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

My inspiration for these Lyrics came from seeing the Face of the actress Eleanor Tomlinson.

I think I have just met the Eleanor that I have dreamt of and speak of in these lyrics today.
Purely by chance she waltzed into a business meeting.

The hand of fate works in mysterious ways at times me thinks :-)

Really, really compelling lyric.  Sings well and naturally with little effort to find a tune even on a very quick one time read.  I was literally singing by the third line of the first verse. 

Well written, ready for music, and it SEEMS clear to me (I can be wrong, of course) that you have at least a cadence, if not a tune already set for it. 

I really think this is a worthwhile and memorable lyric.

Many many thanks Verlon.
You are so kind.
And yes you are very astute... I do have music in my head for these lyrics I have written but alas I cannot play a chord!
I am but a mere Poet :-)

I will PM you Verlon with the kind of melody and music I would dearly love to hear my Lyrics to.
You yourself may remember the artist/song?

This song or its lyrics were actually written for a former lover.
Her face I will never see again.

Eleanor flies in by moonlight
She's captured the Dreams of your Heart
She's come a long way
And you want her to stay
Coz' she gives her love through the dark

You lie awake sleepin'
Your mind in a stir
As nightfall comes creepin'
All your thinking of is Her

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like you've never before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

Eleanor waits by the lakeside
She kisses you under Starlight
She gives you her hand
Then you walk over sands
And she gives you her love through the night

You know you are Dreamin'
But you don't really care
She gives you some meaning
And you see her everywhere

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like you've never before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

Eleanor leaves by the dawn light
She whispers her love then takes flight
When you wake in the morn
And a new day is born
All your wishing for is one more night.

You know you are Dreamin'
But you don't really care
She gives you some meaning
And you see her everywhere

You've fallen for her lovin'
Like you've never done before
You've fallen for her lovin'
And the Face of Eleanor

Hmmm?
I appear to have struck a 'Chord'
I 'Note' a distinct hint of sarcasm/jealousy within the above posting.
Or maybe its just me 'Singing' from the wrong hymn sheet?
