How to Be Romantic with Songs

SWEET HOPES

Submitted by: Stephanie Smythe

While my fiance was working on the other side of the country, I was listening to instrumentals in the car, and I started singing along, making my own words as I went along.  I made up a song for my fiance.  It was about how no matter how far away he was, I was thinking of him and I sang of my love for him as well as fun memories & hopes for the future.  Later, I sang the song onto a tape for him-using gorgeous instrumentals for the music since I didn't play an instrument myself.  I sent it to him, and he loved it.  He still listens to it whenever we're apart. :)
