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.
