Frédéric Chopin - Nocturne in C sharp minor no. 20 'Lento con gran espressione' op. posth.

F. Chopin Nocturne In C-sharp Minor

Performed by Anjanette Navarro. Words and Melody by Anjanette Navarro. Harmonies & Accompaniment by Sarah Wallin Huﬀ.

“You Are My Everything” is a love song originally written for the husband of Anjanette Navarro as a token of her enduring affection after many years of marriage. With his permission, she adapted the song to enable other loving couples to use it to express their devotion to each other.

There are multiple versions available: as a solo for high voice or low voice, or as a duet for all voice types and couplings. This special song may be performed for weddings (the "Wedding Version" shifts many of the lyrics to the future tense), vow renewals (the "Forever Version" shifts many of the lyrics to the past tense), anniversaries, and any other occasion when "words alone can't express" your feelings for your loved one.

Let “You Are My Everything” help you express your deep and lasting love.

LYRICS:
I’ve never been good with words.
I’ve never known how to express exactly how I feel.
But somewhere deep down there has to be
Something that communicates to you from me…

I adore you and I love you.
You mean everything to me.
You are my everything.

(Verse 1)
As I look ahead to our life together
I see all the great times we’ll have.
The times we’ll laugh and play and love.
The easy and fun times in life
That are worth living for.
But as I continue to look ahead
I see our struggles too.
And yet there you are right next to me,
Loving me through…
I’ve never been good with words.
I’ve never known how to express exactly how I feel.
But somewhere deep down there has to be
Something that communicates to you from me…

(Chorus)
Just how much I adore you and I love you,
Just how much you mean to me.
Words alone can’t express
How you make me feel so complete.
I adore you and I love you.
You mean everything to me.
You are my everything.

(Verse 2)
In our marriage we’ll have wonderful times,
From inside jokes, vacations too.
We’ll have heartaches and pain,
And there’ll be times
That we hurt each other, too.
Then we’ll count our years in decades,
But our love will never fade.
We’ll have moments when we laugh,
And there’ll be times when we cry.
We’re here for it all, we just have to try.
It can be hard to tell you, from time to time,
How your steadfast love and support have made me feel.
So often it may seem I’m only focused on me.
I hope you know that you’re my everything.

I’ve never been good with words.
I’ve never known how to express exactly how I feel.
But somewhere deep down there has to be
Something that communicates to you from me…

(Chorus)
Just how much I adore you and I love you,
Just how much you mean to me.
Words alone can’t express
How you make me feel so complete.
I adore you and I love you.
You mean everything to me.
Words alone can’t express my love for you.
Words alone can’t express your love for me.
Words alone can’t express our love.
You are my everything.

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.
