Written in almost a trance like state, this ballad came out of nowhere in about ten minutes flat. Plucked out of thin air like a gift from the Gods. One of the greatest honours of my life was my brother Phil asking if I would sing this song at his wedding. Which I did. It was surreal and not a dry eye in the house. Big Kudos to Helen Clout for her amazing vocal work in this beautiful duet.
lyrics
Can’t see, can’t do, won’t be, won’t do
Anything without you in my life
I’m here for you, I won’t leave you
I’ll wait for you to make me your wife
Well I never thought I’d find you
But I found you just the same
I’ve been standing waiting for you
Here I am again, I’m in love……..
And it started with a glimmer in your eye
Take me in, hold me, squeeze me, help me understand
Let me be your knight in shining armour, take my hand
Let me love you and I’ll be true
I’ll always be right here by your side
Just say I do and I’ll give you
Everlasting love bona fide
I’m in love…***….I’m in love……***…
I’m in love……***
A school reunion of all places, surrounded by familiar
faces, we found love
And I know that from the moment that I saw you, I fell for you when I caught you out the corner of my eye
I was mesmerized, time stood still that night
Just say, I do, and I’ll give you
Everlasting love bona fide
I’m here for you, I won’t leave you
I’m happy just to be by your side
I’m in love……..I’m in love………
I’m in love………
The stars above are shining, there’s a glimmer in your eye
Take me in, hold me, squeeze me, help me understand
Let me be your one & only c’mon take my hand
Take me home ....Take me home.... Take me home.....
Let me love you and I’ll be true
I’ll always be right here by your side
