So Loved


So loved, so adored
So much grief, out it pours 
So must I soldier on
It’s so much harder now you’re gone
You must have known this from the start
When you resided in my heart
Where just a smile, just a touch
Would cost so little, mean so much

So alone since your sojourn’s done
Solitude is all I’ve known
So what now?  My soul is bared
My soles are worn through running scared
What made you special, made you shine
Made you for all, made you mine
Made you holy, made you royal
Has all dissolved into the soil

In the end you played your part
The empress of my head
The queen of my heart
You came like an angel
You came like a dove
And you’re so adored and so loved

So I’m here to consolidate
My solemn vow, though it seems too late
So I end this soliloquy
Soaked in tears that wash over me
In the light of the setting sun
Your shadow touches everyone
But it’s not enough for me to hold
You were my world, now the world’s revolved

You must have known this from the start
When you resided in my heart
Where just a smile, just a touch
Would cost so little, mean so much

In the end you played your part
The empress of my head
The queen of my heart
You came like an angel
You came like a dove
And you’re so adored and so loved
Of everyone I’ve ever met
You gave so much
I’m forever in debt
And though you’re gone
I can’t shut the door
‘Cause you’re so loved
And so adored
In the wake of loving you
I’ll always remember
The things that we’d do
Yes, you came like an angel
Down from above
And you’re so adored and so loved

So Loved

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
