Dave, this is a beautiful, heartfelt love song — simple, pure, and full of genuine emotion. It already feels timeless and personal, like something written straight from the heart (and honestly, it has a wedding vow kind of energy). Your lyrics look a bit different from what I usually write, which I really like. I noticed you repeat the hook line (“You’re my person”) at the end of each verse. Often when that’s done, a song doesn’t need a separate chorus — but it looks like you’ve included one too. If you don’t mind, I’d love to share an idea for how that could actually work really well together.
(Here’s what that might look like in structure:)
You’re My Person
(Verse 1) You’re my person When I think of who I’d call My heart goes straight to you You’re my person The one who’s there through it all Every joy and trial I go through You’re my person… Yeah, you’re my person
(Verse 2) You’re my person From the moment we first met I knew you were meant for me You’re my person And I’ve known it ever since It’s forever — you and me You’re my person… Always my person
(Chorus) I don’t need anyone else There’s nobody but you Even when we’re far apart My love, this much is true You’re my person
(Verse 3) You’re my person The one I promise I’ll cherish And love in every way You’re my person The one I laugh with, the one who Wipes all my tears away You’re my person… Forever my person
(Chorus) I don’t need anyone else There’s nobody but you Even when we’re far apart My love, this much is true You’re my person
(Bridge) Through every high, through every fall You’re the one who’s seen it all If the world should fade away You’re the reason I’d still stay
(Final Chorus) I don’t need anyone else There’s nobody but you Even when we’re far apart My love, this much is true You’re my person… Yeah, you’re my person
What do you think? I really love the heart behind what you wrote — it’s got so much warmth and sincerity. This version just trims and balances a few spots so it flows a little more naturally if you ever decide to record it. Feel free to use any of these ideas.
All the best - Robert
