Story Behind The Song

Actually written by me (Mick) as a bithday present to my daughter so it works for all the combinations. Father son , Mother son etc. I got Helena Hoey (a dear friend ) to guest on this demo as her vocal skills do it far more justice than mine ever could. Thanks Helena

Song Description

One of those "wish it would last forever" moments. A mother sings of how one peaceful image of her young girl as she sleeps brings peace and joy to the mother's heart and would be enough to sustain her through any strife were it possible to capture emoti

Lyrics

It's late now and my day is over.
So gently up the stairs I creep.
I slip my hand around your door and I watch you as you sleep.
And I recall less quiet moments.
Sometimes I guess we care too much.
No matter what our problems are, we're still gentle when we touch.

Wanna take a picture,
and print it in my head.
Wanna tell you so much,
that I'd be just as glad,
if the almighty decreed, that all my memories,
were to fade out of view, save one picture of you,
with that smile on your face.


The flicker of your eyelids dreaming,
The twiching of your fingertips.
The sweetness of your dreams betrayed by the smile across your lips.
And now I know how much you need me,
And sometimes I might get things wrong.
But just one look into your eyes and I know where I belong.

I'll paint with colours of the love I feel inside.
I'll paint your features soft as watercolours in my mind.
So if I die before I wake,
I pray for just one thing to take with me.
Just one picture of you.

Wanna tell you so much,
that I'd be just as glad.
if the almighty decreed, that all my memories,
were to fade out of view, save one picture of you,
with that smile on your face
