This is an original country song that speaks to those that are far from their loved one, unable to be with them but imagining if only...they could be together. Longing for the time when they can be with each other once again.

We are very happy to once again have the wonderful pedal steel talents of Dakota Holden contribute so beautifully to this track.

Lyrics: "If You Were Here" by Daniels & Durgy

The sun came up, despite the clouds, It was enough, despite the doubts 
To thank the Lord, for one more day, To feel the freedom come my way

And wonder where you are and how, You’re doing at this moment now
To let my heart let go of fear, Imagining if you were here

If you were here, If you were here
All these dreams that we both have would become real,
I would hold onto forever, stop the hands of time together
Kiss you gently as the world disappears…If you, if you were here..

The smile on which, I so rely, A warmth so rich, I can’t deny
The touch that penetrates my soul, How much the distance takes its toll

But I take comfort in the past, That memories are not the last
That time will only make more clear, Just what would be if you were here

(chorus)

If you were here could I contain, The need for you, like sun and rain
Like wind that parts the maple leaves, As waves breathe life into the seas

If you were here there is no doubt, I’d lay a finger on your mouth
And show you as I held you near, What I would do if you were here 

I loved you then, I love you still, There is a void no one can fill, 
The only one, is always you, And no else will ever do.  
It's always been you, always will, Be you and me, forever till
The sun & stars do not appear, To light up like, if you were here

(chorus)

If You Were Here

I have always loved music. I learnt piano as a child and have dabbled with guitar without ever learning it ... until now! I have been in choirs most of my life but have not really delved into making music until the last few years. After initially playing around with Garage Band, I moved on to Logic Pro and that's how nearly all of my music has been produced.

I use digital software, guitar and keyboards to produce my original music. I compose and edit using Logic Pro. Other people's vocals or collaborative vocals for any track really are very welcome! 

I love the interaction on Soundcloud and the comments from other musicians and composers are so helpful and supportive. Keep making music everyone!
