After recording this one and listening to it over a period of time I felt it needed something, so I decided to revise it. I wound up adding a section in the end and added some punch to it with added vocals. It is now one of my favorite songs lyrically and musically.
lyrics
There's life in every breath, you know that's natural.
There's love in every smile from me to you.
Clear sky above the clouds they see as storming.
That's all that I can see when I'm with-
**You and I will live our lives and our hearts will be together,
**Forever and ever. The time is now we'll never grow apart.
**And we'll spend our days together. We'll gaze back and remember,
**'Bout the love we share forever and ever on.
It takes time to find the questions life will answer.
It takes peace of mind to create anything.
It takes love of your fellow man to show compassion.
And when compassion fills your heart you will have...
Seen the light and realized that our hearts will be together...
***So sing it out loud and strong. Come along and sing 'cause,
----------2nd time through chorus add---
----------My Darling Girl,
You're happy when you sing along. Makes you smile 1, 2, 3, 4.
----------I love you! And I always will!
Take your lady by the hand, but understand the meaning.
---------Together,
Talk to her about your plans. You know you can depend on her.
---------Forever. To the end of our lives.
Trust your life in her hands. Take a stand and let it out.
---------To the end of our lives!
Show her what love is! (2nd time - Show her what love is about!)
Repeat chorus...
