Stand Together

Under November Skies was written to celebrate the centenary of the First World War. The song was inspired by my memories of Remembrance Day ceremonies at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, with the Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and witnessing the uplifting  release of 6 white doves in the Grand Parade in Halifax as part of the Remembrance Day ceremony in 2014.

Under November Skies

Lyrics:
Let me melt in the warmth 
of your body next to mine
Give me slow kisses in the night
Let me sleep in the comfort of your
loving arms
and wake up in the corners of your smile
Chorus:
Don't let love fade
Don't let love fade
in the morning light
in the morning light

Let's linger a little longer
Wrapped up in each other
Holding tight
We'll hide under the covers
Like two mischievous lovers
It's the sweetest crime

Don't let love fade
Don't let love fade
In the morning light
In the morning light

When the long arms of the sun
come sneaking through the shades
Not gonna let them take you away
Cause every moment we can steal
Is worth the price we'll pay
for once this restless world 
will have to wait

Don't let love fade
Don't let love fade
in the morning light

Let's linger a little longer....

Morning Light
