I feel this is one of my strongest songs musically. I wrote in while in the heights of falling in love with my darling girl. The melody is lovely and the synth strings give it a heavenly quality. The harmonies also add to the depth of the song. The lyrics are solid and convey the complexities of the us against the world theme. I like all of the lyrics but my favorite line is at the end. "With every laugh you sing the songs of the joy that I hold, in loving you!"
lyrics
Let's fly away. We'll start the life we were meant to share.
We'll climb the highest mountains and breath the crisp cool air.
I'll find the days of summer among your waves of hair.
'Cause we're so much in love.
I can't believe you're in love with me love with me now.
Another day we'll talk and walk along the city streets.
Along the way I'll hold your hand and kiss your velvet cheek.
And we will savor every ounce of time that's ours to keep.
Full moon's light in your eyes.
Paradise in horizons for you and for me, for you and for me.
* All those years searching, I couldn't find,
The one whose heart and soul had crossed my mind.
Are you really here right by my side?
Please don't disappear from sight. Don't leave me behind.
Let me see the answer in your eyes.
Most days will make us happy. Some days will find us sad.
But we will always have each others' hand to hold when things get bad.
And we may never know the whys or whens as troubles cross our path.
Still our hearts beat in time.
Love gives life's inner harmony, rhythm and rhyme.
Let's fly away. We'll start the life we were meant to share.
We'll climb the highest mountains and breath the crisp cool air.
I'll find the days of summer among your waves of hair.
'Cause we're so much in love.
I can't believe you're in love with me, love with me.
With every smile you bring the sunshine that warms up my soul.
With every kiss yo give me riches more precious than gold.
With every laugh you sing the songs of the joy that I hold in loving you.
the joy that I hold in loving you.
the joy that I hold in knowing you...
