You said yes in a sea filled with nos

You brought me a poem

I gave you a rose

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

So perfect together

Like sunshine and flowers

Love is forever

Love is forever

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I see

When I think of you

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I feel

When I am with you

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Sunny smiles hover around

Your face is a flower

Real love has been found

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Frosty morning kiss goodbye

A promise to see you

Once again tonight

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I see

When I think of you

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

Are the colors I feel

When I am with you

πŸŒΉπŸ’™πŸͺ»

Lilac and rose and indigo blue

With Love, RHC ❀️

This is an extended part to this poem being added in on April 6, 2026.

The following was written in June 2024

I wrote this song as a poem in March 2024. The lyric is loosely based on the Jimi Hendrix song β€œOne Rainy Wish.,” The poem became a Top Story on Vocal Media and became a big hit. In the comments several people mentioned that they could hear a song as they read the poem. Because of these comments it had been in my mind that I wanted to eventually turn the poem into a song. Now that has become a reality.

My vision in creating this song was to create something that would embody that smooth flowing β€œCalifornia Sound” which was popular back in the 1970s with artists such as Jackson Browne and The Eagles. I feel like I captured that essence.
