Feb 2022 collab girl-with-piano ballad love-song
Doug sent me these lyrics earlier this month and I loved them instantly. So I sat at the piano and worked to develop the music but nothing I tried worked. Seriously, nothing. I was frustrated and pretty much threw in the towel, letting Doug know it probably wasn't going to happen. But, after stepping away and coming back at it fresh today...well, this happened! I absolutely love this song. Doug's lyrics are just a pleasure to work with and the emotion just comes through. Thanks, Doug!
Doug: I have it on good authority that the angels weep when Theresa sings, because they know they can't compete. I did my best to keep a stiff upper lip when Theresa told me the song just wasn't coming, though all our collaborations hold a really special place in my heart. Lo and behold! I wake up to this wonderful, beautiful, perfect song waiting on FAWM. Theresa, you're awesome!
You hold the sunrise in your eyes
And a wondrous light bedazzles the Earth
You hold the sunrise in your eyes
And I feel a growing sense of rebirth
You hold the daylight in your eyes
And the flowers thirst and plead and strain
You hold the daylight in your eyes
And I long to be the wild rain
In romance, I kept hoping for a feeling
Waiting for the thunderbolt to strike
Lightning burns, but you're a revelation
Showing me exactly what love's like
You hold the moonrise in your eyes
And a moving light surprises the sea
You hold the moonrise in your eyes
And I know that we are meant to be
I know that we are meant to be
I know that we are meant to be

Great combination of piano, ethereal vocals and those heart string torn lyrics.

Yes, Doug struck gold getting you to sing his lyrics, Theresa. It no doubt was meant to be :-) Perfect with the piano. Lyrically, appreciate how sunrise, daylight, and moonlight connect the verses. But I especially like the bridge, showing that the singer isn't just floating in the clouds when it comes to love, they're grounded (and hopefully safe from thunderstorms here on out :-).

This is so beautiful. Lovely singing, and the piano playing complements it so well. I am jealous that you got to set these wonderful words to music.
