Hello All,
I look forward to meeting you.
This is my first completed BB composition, a simple song, only 2 minutes. I would so appreciate any feedback.
I'm not a musician - I've learned just a bit on piano - but I knew enough to enter chords, tempo, and so on.
Everything but the vocals was generated by Band in a Box. I used a "Pop Ballad" style, but with a few patch changes here and there.

"Camille is Eighteen"
https://soundcloud.com/dina-lydia/camille-is-eighteen

when a girl turns eighteen
we deem her a woman, so
it seems like the time
to write a song, here I go

her name is Camille
I’ll start there, I suppose
blooming something like a peony
something like a rose...nice

but when I think of her
don’t ask me why
I see lemon yellow jelly beans
endless blue sky
and it almost makes me cry

Camille! young and free
if only I could borrow
her aura, like springtime
rising bright as tomorrow

I don’t know her well
but I know enough to tell her that she
she is what many girls wish they could be
wish they could be

I look over my shoulder
as one so much older
Camille’s not there
she’s far ahead of me

I see this grown girl
I see this golden girl
holding in her hands
her own destiny

O blue sky, spring green
lemon yellow jelly bean
Camille is eighteen
