John composed this melody and had what he referred to as a "junk" lyric. He contacted me for a collaboration, to brighten up the phrases, to make them fit.
He often chided me about the number of beats and making certain I paid attention to timbre. I learned about songcrafting as we went along.
I took this song to Nashville for Songposium 2007 where it received a kind review from a country music representative. He encouraged me to have it pitched to contemporary music companies. We were pleased.
You're Still the One

I close my eyes but it never ends
Praying you feel the same
A thousand questions spinning round in my mind
and hoping this love remains
In the stillness of the night I call your name
Just hoping you'll be there........for meeee
You're still the one....Ohhhh
I don't ever wanna live without your love
As I come undone....Oh oh
Hope you feel the same...
You're still the one.....

You're right here with me every night in my dreams
(I'm) wakin' to find you gone
A touch or word would help me believe....
'Cause I don't wanna be alone....
In the darkness of the night I reach for you
please tell me you'll be there for me....
Chorus
Your still the one....Ohhhh
I don't ever wanna live without your love
As I come undone....Oh oh
Hope you feel the same...
Your still the one.....
Bridge....
Oh the one I long to hold
and deep inside I see...
As the memories all unfold
I'll be here waiting............
Chorus
Your still the one....Ohhhh
I don't ever wanna live without your love
As I come undone....Oh oh
Hope you feel the same...
You're still the one.....
