Song Description
This song started out as an experimental project of writing new lyric to an old song, which I chose a THE TURTLES song, ELENOR. And I love it. But since we cannot use melodies this way, we had to write a completely new instrumental and melody track, so it was SONGCAT.BIZ to the rescue, because I was totally stuck in the TURTLES sound. It turned out like this and I love it, too.

Lyrics
CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
Black Lady, I have loved you,
all of my life, I've loved you,
some things won't change and they're what nobody sees.
I feel the wind, it's blowing,
where I am always going,
I'll be the sunlight flashing love through the trees.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
I hear the forest calling,
sweet summer rain is falling,
Black Lady there are no more things I should see,
life will go on to something,
though it has come to nothing,
all of my life I've reached for things that can't be.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
Some night when God is speaking,
I'll feel his love around me,
I'll end it all and I guess this is why;
reaching the highest pleasure;
living the great adventure;
all of my life, is invitation to die.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
