Singer(s): Male

Ready for mix

@2000’s – I had always wanted to write a followup to “Someday I will Write You a Love Song“, but had a hard time putting together anything I felt worthy. One creative session, the phrase”warm embrace of your life” came to me, and I loved it. Took me another couple decades to finally get the lyrics the way I wanted. Hired a gospel singer/pianist to record the song for a Christmas present for my wife in approx. 2017.

In the moments when I wake up
Before the break of dawn
I turn my head and watch you sleeping
As the stars’ light lingers on

And as I cherish your face
And the hint of your sweet smile
I’m so grateful to be lying
In the warm embrace of your life

In the moments before you wake up
And open up your eyes
I lay and savour each passing moment
Of the years that have gone by

And I know that in your heart
Somewhere deep inside
There’s a room full of pictures
Of every moment that you’ve cried

If I could take them all away
And lift them up into the sky
Maybe then I’d be worthy
Of the warm embrace of your life

Break

Long ago I said someday
That I’d find the right words to say
For so long I’ve been waiting
To find you this special song

And if I sail away,
My spirit slipping into the light,
I know my soul will find its way back
To the warm embrace of your life
To the warm embrace of your life
