Night Sky Memories
V1
the crescent moon
like your smile
glows in a
dark night sky
subtle warmth
reaching..
reaching in…
touching my heart
for miles
miles away…
though we’re apart
C
the moon
and the stars
no matter
where we are
bring you back
for a moment
in my life
the moon
and the stars
bring love back
for a moment
in time
V2
the sparkling stars
like your eyes
invite hopes
and wishes
wondrous gifts
shining..
shining down
touching my soul
for miles…
miles away
from your home
C
the moon
and the stars
no matter
where we are
bring you back
for a moment
in my life
the moon
and the stars
bring love back
for a moment
in time
B
how can the
night sky be
so blinding still
stinging my eyes
with tears?
C
the moon
and the stars
no matter
where you are
bring you back
for a moment
in my life
the moon
and the stars
bring love back
for a moment
in time

The combination of chords, striped down presentation and lyrical give this a lived in feel, like a traditional song, from long ago.

The simple production of mandolin and emotive vocals works very well with these lyrics. The reflective thoughts expressed feel genuine.

I love a bit of 2/4 mandolin! Gives the story some momentum. The lyric is so poetic and evocative. Beautiful collaboration guys #tit4tat
@wolfkier Mar 2022
A crescent moon as a smile is such a great idea, but then Liz is pretty crafty when it comes to evocative ideas.
And Linda you do a great job bringing the sad romantic scenario to life. Great collab, meant to be on this gem.
#tit4tat4. :)
Thanks to both of you, again, for making Feb fab one more time!
@klaus Feb 2022
Dark and dramatic lyrics ( nice bridge! ) by Liz are a good match to the authentic sounding folk music and strong alto voice of Linda. A match made in the woods of Appalachia for sure. :)
@andrea Feb 2022
This is a painful love story. It is quite beautiful. I love the folksy music and Linda's melody. Nice collaboration.
@tippyteapot Feb 2022
Very nice!
@crutherford Feb 2022
this had a haunted yearning dustbowl feeling to it.
i really loved the melody for this linda
those beauty lyrics certainly shone through in your delivery.
bravo!!
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
I just love the folkiness the mandolin brings to this. The melody is organic and haunting to match the lyrics. It's like the music and lyrics were made for each other! Really nice, you two!
@hummingbear Feb 2022
Sensuous lyrics and sinuous melody, nicely intertwined.
@mandolinda Feb 2022
Great, put me on as a collaborator and I can post my efforts. I hope you like it.
@mandolinda Feb 2022
I would like to try this one, if still available.
@musicsongwriter Feb 2022
Very moving, loving and romantic lyrics. Beautiful work.

Tender and touching.... so a "typical" Kahlo song, eh? :)
@kingwoodkowboy Feb 2022
kahlo2013, such easy wording for a hard to come by wishing. Good job. and I hope you find your vocalist.
