@greengrassgirl sent these impassioned lyrics to @jibbidy34 and myself and had in mind a song for a musical-style romantic number and this is what we came up with...
From @greengrassgirl: I'm delighted with the treatment that Georgie and Gwyn came up with for this lyric. I imagined it as a stage number and I think they nailed it! Wonderful music and vocals. So fun!
Candlelit terrace, high on a hill
Touch of a breeze on my face
Table for two, an evening to dream of
Why am I not okay
Above us, on cue, the stars come out dancing
Saying goodnight to the day
Jasmine in bloom, it’s all so romantic
Why am I so afraid
Here inside, I’m a cat on a wire
Desperate to hear you propose, ’cause you have to propose
And what if you don’t
I love you, I love you
But I might be in love all alone
Until you say want me forever
I’m in love all alone
So much at stake, I’m missing the moment
What if you don’t feel the same
The heart on my sleeve too heavy to carry
What if it’s all in vain
Here inside, I’m a cat on a wire
Desperate to hear you say yes, ’cause you have to say yes
And what if you don’t
I love you, I love you
But I might be in love all alone
Until you say want me forever
I’m in love all alone
There it is, that big YES in your eyes
I’m hearing it over and over and over again
You’ll always be mine
I love you, I love you
You’re not in love all alone
I’m telling you I love you forever
You’re not in love all alone
You’re not in love all alone

Just love the progression of these lyrics and how I'm pulled into the anticipation of the story. "I'm in love all alone" is a great line, and very sweet how it switches to "You're not in love all alone." Beautiful duet, strong melody, great build, and the chorus stands out.

Wow, this is an impressive collab. Love the take on Valentine's.

What a treat! A perfectly theatrical lyric given a perfectly theatrical musical treatment. All three of you outdid yourselves!
@andrea Feb 2022
This is truly uplifting and wonderful. Makes my heart soar. Very romantic and sweet lyrics. Amazing performance by this super duo. A magical collaboration!
@gm7 Feb 2022
This is a great collab ..with a stellar lineup so I knew this was going to be great! Anyway want to dance?
@metalfoot Feb 2022
What a great collaborative effort this one is! The Gywn-Georgie magic accented by Patty's lyric!
@ineloquentsd Feb 2022
Oh, I immediately found myself choreographing a Broadway-style rhumba to this. The arrangement is gorgeous, with so much depth and movement. It does great justice to the lyrics. I feel like the stage curtains came down at the end of a song on a kiss. Brava!

Magical collaboration, fairytale come true! Musical, Disney at its best. Each of you gave your heart and soul to this beautiful and heartfelt song: loving, sweet, hopeful, uplifting, catchy and unforgettable. The lyrics and music are very moving and the story and music progress from doubts to true, mutual love and happiness. The interpretation is superb with solos, duets, echos, the instrumentation is superb. Everything is superb! Love it so much. Thank you for the magic!

I love the duet! I think this is the first one I’ve heard on FAWM so far :) love the show number feel so much, really heartfelt lyrics. I particularly like ‘the heart on my sleeve, too heavy to carry.’ Really nice capture of the anxiety on both sides of a proposal. The music is very sweet and the percussion and accordion sound? Gives quite a nice European feel to the song.
@wobbiewobbit Feb 2022
real west end feel. love the backing vocals arrangement. do you need oxygen up that high? great performances and an epic sounding song.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
What a wonderful show tune feel. Love that contagious chorus with that grand finale - I can easily imagine this as the climax love scene in a musical! Wonderful duet and harmonies! Great relatable lyric + fabulous music = awesome song! Applause Applause!!!!
@jerrypettit Feb 2022
Just as I'm starting to think Gwyn and Georgie are perfection, along comes @greengrassgirl for a collaboration and up the bar even more. (By the way...all of these "G's". Did you guys all sit together alphabetically in grade school or something?) One of the best songs of this season so far. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL COLLABORATION, you guys!
@blindkiwi Feb 2022
Nice 3 way collab! Cool production and lovely valentines day song.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Fun collab! Paints a wonderful portrait of the two uncertain lovers.
@mikeb Feb 2022
Wow, a 3-way on stage!. Whoops, I mean a great collab, that would definitely fit right in in a stage musical.
@jibbidy34 Feb 2022
Yay! I was so happy to be a part of this beautiful lyric and production. Patty’s lyrics and Gwyn’s music/arrangement/production were a delight to work with. Happy Valentine’s Day!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
I love every word, every note and that it's a three-way creation! Super job all!
