From the recording Love Goes On
A building and inspiring late 70's/early 80's mid-tempo pop ballad in the vein of Elton John or Christopher Cross about love transcending anyone's bad day. This song has acoustic guitars, a driving bass line, symphonic instruments, and male tenor vocals. The theme is that no matter what happens and how a person feels in the moment, love prevails with patience and intentionality.
Lyrics
I spend the night in the pouring rain
I sleep through the thunder
And the storm inside my soul
Love cries, I drive her away
My shadow plays tricks and says I’m warm
With an icy heart
It’s alright ‘cause the feeling fades
I wake up and start anew
My blood thaws
It happens every morning
Love still finds a way to break my heart
All day and all night ‘til the break of dawn
Sometimes it takes a fight to make love strong
But some days a touch and a whisper’s enough
For love to go on and on
I spend the night in the pouring rain
I spin around in circles
Love goes on and on …
And touches to the bone
‘Cause every night I cast my heart in stone
But then it fades and it don’t take long
We fly the same direction coming home
No need to be alone
‘Cause love it goes on and on
Love still finds a way to break my heart
All day and all night ‘til the break of dawn
Sometimes it takes a fight to make love strong
But some days a touch and a whisper’s enough
For love to go on and on
Once again I cast my heart in stone
But then it fades and it don’t take long
We fly the same direction coming home
No need to be alone
No need to be alone
‘Cause love it goes on and on
