I recently had an extremely spiritual experience that encouraged me to get artistic. I've never written a song before, and I only know basic rhythm guitar. I wanted to write a song for my fiance to tell her how much I love her and would like some feedback.

chord progression is C-G-Am-Em-Dm-Fm(?)-C-C throughout. Strumming pattern I am using is "1 2& &4" throughout. I have no idea how to express the melody simply and my singing is beyond terrible.

The Fm has a question because I am not sure of the name of the chord I am using. Its a first position barre chord - 133111 - from 6th to first is the ordering there.

The Em usually doesn't have a lyric associated:

code:
C G    Am  Em Dm    Fm(?)     C
I Love you    Even  When I'm  Blue
My sappy rear end over the top lyrics so far are:

I love you even when I'm blue
I know its true that you love me too
Your hugs, your kiss teaches me bliss
You brighten my day in ways I can't say
before you go out the door, smile at me once more
cause I love you

Like I said I have never written a song before. I am not a musician, and if I tried to record it to catch the melody I'm using I would become a GBS superstar. If I can find a mic I might record some humming.

Anyone have any feedback on this? I really want it to be passably good.
