Great rock tune and excellent vocal work, great pipes!!

Cool song! And your voice.....is amazing....

A little song about school day romance and the awkwardness of it all.  Didn't think this song would turn out like it has.  It's been sitting for a while and I finally finished it.  Takes me back a bit.  Hope you like it.

Slow Dance

This is a relatively new song that I have had a poor quality version uploaded here for the past week and it had some good reception so I decided to record it to a better standard.

It is inspired by my grandmother who has been suffering with Alzheimer's disease for the past 5/6 years. I have seen her turn from a highly active and energetic woman to a very old lady in this short space of time and it has made me realise how important it is to cherish every moment you have because you don't know when it will change irreversibly forever.

I have chosen to intertwine the story of her life with that of a tree in this song as she represents the solid tree like backbone of our family but like every living thing, has a limited amount of time to live on this earth. I hope you like it!

Here are the lyrics:

It is the start,
You're at day one,
Go light a fire,
You've just begun,
The leaves they grow,
Towards the sun.

The sun it shines,
From way up high,
There is no cloud,
In the blue sky,
Your mind is clear,
No wonder why.

The leaves they make,
A sea of green,
You don't think of,
What might have been,
You can recall,
All you have seen.

So many ways,
Your leaves will grow,
There seems no end,
To what you'll know,
And know limit,
To where you'll go.

The shadow creeps,
Across your view,
You welcome it,
As something new,
But you don't know,
What it will do.

The leaves they fall,
Your mind slows down,
They spread themselves,
All the way round,
You try to pick,
Them from the ground.

The sky turns dark,
The tree turns old,
Your mind is weak,
It's turning old,
Your time is short,
Your hand they hold.

The days go by,
So take it in,
Time wont slow down,
Once it begins,
So make the most,
Of what's within.

Thank you :)

I'll update this one with new versions, but in the meantime all suggestions are welcome! Does it have a Beatles sound? What do you think about the arrangement? Does it stick in your head? Let me know!

PEACE
---
There she was, wind in her hair,
Drawing smileys in the sand,
She noticed him, but he looked away
He was too shy to reach for her hand

His heart did not deserve her,
Her pureness so heartfelt
He was spoiled to the bone, but all alone
With Peace, he felt his heart could melt
 
Pre CH: Wake me up, anytime, 
        To look into your eyes 
        Remember me, everyday
        To look into your eyes 

    CH: Peace, oh please.. let me look at you for a while
        Peace, oh please.. be my tease, common make me smile  
	Rappapa-pa nananana na nananana

All the love I ever need,
Was shining bright from your ocean eyes 
They don't understand power and greed
And they'd cry because of all my lies

When you noticed me, I hid away,
And I awoke, begging baby please,
With an empty cup in my hands,
For a little bit more of Peace 

Pre CH: She lives in my contagious smile
	Her reflection will always be my   constant guide
        Remember me, everyday
        To look into your eyes

Thanks so much @Rachel_Debattista and @MonnoDB for your suggestions for the lyrics!!
