I Have a Song for You

Liner Notes
Doug and I have a Zoom meeting once a week to work on songs. We discuss the word choices and make sure we have a singable product.
This song is different than our normal approach. Doug sent me completed lyrics at the beginning of February and I set them aside while I worked with other FAWM lyricists. I finally decided that I should look at the words Doug sent me and I realized they pretty much sang off the page. Why did I leave this in an ignored pile for so long? Don't know.
Lyrics
I have a song for you Spun from the stars above A melody soft as the evening tide Laced with love I can't hide
Every note is a touch, every word's a caress A symphony woven in tenderness With every breath I sing your name Like a fire that dances, but never wanes
I have a song for you A lullaby your heart can hear With every chord I bare my soul I have a song for you
Like a river's flow, a golden dawn My love keeps pressing on Through storm and silence, joy and pain My song calls you home again
Every note is a touch, every word's a caress A symphony woven in tenderness
I have a song for you A lullaby your heart can hear With every chord I bare my soul I have a song for you
Let the world fade, let time stand still Hear my refrain, feel all I feel
I have a song for you A lullaby your heart can hear With every chord I bare my soul I have a song for you
I have a song for you A lullaby your heart can hear With every chord I bare my soul I have a song for you

This is such a lovely lyric! So warm like a big hug. I like the relaxed calypso kind of beat that gives it a bit of an island feel. Lovely melody and gorgeous vocal delivery! Some really nice unexpected directions with some of the notes.
Thank you, Tammy and Redlady. Always appreciated.

Those ARE some lovely lyrics--and your always heartfelt vocal over them really brings out their meaning. Terrific collaboration, you guys! ❤️
