blah... I'm not sure where I am with this tune.
I'm going for a synth/pop type of thing, but when I hear my own lyrics the first thing that comes to mind is "argh...cheeeeeeeeesy".

The lyrics I came up with so far are below, and a recording with some very low vocals in the mix is here:

This version below is as far as I got before realizing the song was out of my range:

Basically what I need is somebody to finish off writing the last verse and then do the vocals & harmonies.

I had one guy try it but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Here's my lyrics.
If anybody can improve on em, go for it.
Arrows indicate lines I'd like to toss out.

Don't Take Your Love Away
Copyright 2005 K. Taylor/Schmange Music U.K./Canada

Verse 1

You and me
Walking slowly hand in hand
Alone, we'll be
Falling for each other
Going all the way
Waiting for another rainy day, away <<<<
Waiting for the sun <<<

Verse 2

Won't you stay with me
Help me rediscover
All the days away
Lazy days of summer
You were holding me
Talking talk <<<<
And then you walked away
I gave you everything

Chorus
Why don't you take my hand
And walk away
Don't take your love away
Take my hand
Don't break my heart
Don't take your love away

Verse 3

Repeat chorus and fade
