Lyrics Heaven

Welcome to my Lyrics website …

Humanity to be been useful,
With the affectionate heart and nerve,
Are seen as a Buddha, and a Florence Nightingale
To which heroic heights the mortals can go up,
Humanity to be been useful,
With the affectionate heart and nerve,
Are seen as a Buddha, and a Florence Nightingale.

When you have your ideas for the lyrics one noted on paper, you pass by him and start to scan for the words which will add the rhyme to your lyrics. But you do not need really your lyrics for rimer all the hour. Certainly do not add simply the words which do not have a direction for a song right because they riment, if they are not included/understood in the song. Moreover, if you cannot obtain the few words for rimer with your other lyrics, you can try to think of the combinations of the words which rimeraient or would seem similar.
