Hello. This is a song I wrote with Rik Lawrence many years ago. I'm not sure what to do with it, since no one really does this sort of song any more. The singer is Phillip Lauth.
Vanessa
Music by David Sanchez
Words and Music by Rik Lawrence and David Sanchez
We were only children/when you and I first met
Too young to understand/what boy and girl meant
Now we're older/see how we've changed
I can't hide what I feel every time I hear your name
CHORUS:
Vanessa
You're here in my heart
And here is where you'll always stay
Promise you won't go away
Vanessa
You're here in my heart
After all that we've been through
I've got to be the boy for you
Secrets in the hallway/kisses in the park
Waiting for the school bus/to get us home by dark
I remember the games that we played
I can't fight what I feel/you've got to know my love is real
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Never thought I'd have the chance
To give you all my affection
'Till I saw you standing there
Looking in my direction
