This is a beautifully intimate and introspective piece, soft with longing and painted with romantic impressionism. I’ve adapted your poem into a dreamy acoustic ballad, perfect for an artist like Norah Jones, Damien Rice, or Lana Del Rey—something warm, wistful, and timeless.

🎵 “Somewhere in Time”
Acoustic / Indie-Folk Ballad — Slow tempo (68 bpm) Written by: Morning Star
---
🎶 Verse 1 Somewhere in time, I wandered far To a hillside still, beneath the stars A dream I once held in my chest Set alight when our hearts met
Your smile, so soft, it lit the air Your eyes, they pulled me unaware A kiss that stopped the world from turning A touch that left my silence burning
---
🎶 Chorus If I unfold the canvas of my heart Would you take your brush and leave a mark? In a space where nothing moves but time Would you stay and color what's mine? And when the final stroke is done Would the hunt be over, and I the one?
---
🎶 Verse 2 The words you speak, I always hear Even if the shades aren’t clear Your hands—they draw a softer line A picture only I define
---
🎶 Chorus If I unfold the canvas of my heart Would you take your brush and leave a mark? In a space where nothing moves but time Would you stay and color what's mine? And when the final stroke is done Would the hunt be over, and I the one?

🎶 Bridge Not every masterpiece needs gold Some are quiet, deep, and bold If you could see what I reveal— Would you believe the love is real?
---
🎶 Final Chorus (gentle and hopeful) If I unfold the canvas of my heart Would you take your brush and play your part? In a space that asks for nothing more— Would you paint the home you're looking for? And once the masterpiece is found Would you lay your burdens down?
