The Backstory…

At a time when friends and family were getting married left and right, I could only imagine what it would be like to want to commit my life to one person. This song is a glimpse into an imagined marital diorama…one, years later, I discovered and experienced for myself.

Lyrics

There’s no telling when the flowers love to dance,

And the sun is so jealous of them,

Still I’ll take a chance on loving you, loving you…

It’s three thousand miles just crossing the room,

But I’d walk barefoot and blinded, anything to make it through,

Just to get to you, to finally find you.

But the rain falls down to the ground,

And the clouds make my wishing stars blue…

But there’s nothing keeping me,

From lov’n you, lov’n you.

Yeah, it’s funny how the wind likes to sing,

With melodies and rhymes of you as I listen in,

God I’ve never seen such colorful skies,

As I see them swimming in your eyes.

But then the rain falls down to the ground,

And the clouds make my wishing stars blue…

But there’s nothing keeping me,

From lov’n you, lov’n you.

Now, here we are,

Here we are,

Now we’re standing on the edge,

Ready to begin,

Are you ready to dive in,

What now,

What now,

A lifetime I vow…

Hand in your on our pathless way,

Every step a lover’s leap of faith…

But when the rain falls down,

And my wishing stars turn blue,

There’ll be nothing keeping me, 

From lov’n you, lov’n you…

Nothing keeping me (from lov’n you)

Nothing keeping me (from lov’n you)
