Wow! This is a beutifully well written song. I love the calming effect and the vocals are amazing. Amazing production and excellent arrangement. Well done to all!

A collab which really gels. Fine work everyone.

Superb interpretation full of charm coupled with remarkable accompaniment. Nice collaboration in this song.

wow. having @richardjohn-1 doing the vocals here, excellent! i bet this one was not so easy from start to finish. big cred on all involved!

hmmm. i feel like being in the country club with some retired grannies and grandpas and drink away the life-blues with some single malt. haha. really awesome vintage track there

This one's got a really nice Lightning Seeds style vibe. Great stuff!

Nice to hear again especially comparing it to your most recent version.  Both are lovely and different listens back to back.  Your playing and arranging can't be overlooked on both versions.

this was a really lovely treat. wonderful composition and love the lyrics

This song was initially an instrumental.  With the great help from Richard and Mellina, we successfully converted it into a vocal song preserving the original title.  See what you think.   Hope you like our work.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
Wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show you where your path could be			
If you walk along with me, come now you’ll see		
		
Watch the sun slip into night			
Hold each other till it’s out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only wanted to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you are still in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared			
			
If you like we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of hope as it begins to change			
Oh I'm watching thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
Take my hand and I’ll guide you through			
 			
Repeat Chorus			
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and think of me			
			
Only you can have that secret dream			
No one else can see,  no one else can dream			
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I wake with you in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared

Collaborations

Lattice Window   (featuring Richard John)

A singer-songwriter who cannot read notes, doesn't play much instruments except a little keyboard & guitar and considers singing as the most difficult part for him.

So in case you're wondering how a guy like this would sound, just spare some of your time for a listen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
