I wrote this song at Harlinsdale Farm, Franklin TN, at the tail end of summer, 2021. I was volunteering at the Pilgrimage Festival and got there really early to find parking. There wasn't a soul in site, just music faintly humming over the speakers and a truck idling far away. The sun was coming up and the mist was rising over the fields. I had a little time, so I walked up the road to get coffee at a truck stop, and it was completely revolting lol, but I will never forget the kind eyes of the person who served me. I walked back, sat on a bench, and wrote this...

I recorded a rough work tape yesterday in my home studio while the boys were at school, and imagined a full gospel choir singing in the background :) My kids like to sing along on the chorus to this one and that makes me very happy...

Lyrics:

Love is Everlasting 
Sarah Bonsignore BMI

Sitting on the top of the world 
Waitin’ on the sun to shine
Taking in the misty morning 
Say’n goodbye to summertime 

Music in the air and 
diesel humming in the distance
Ghosts on the green knowin’
every single heartbreak line

 CHORUS
Cause love, love is everlasting
Close your eyes you’ll see exactly what I mean 
Right now, my heart feels like dancing 
Cause simple things, again and again 
remind me to believe that 

La la la la la la 
Love is everlasting
La la la 
Love is what we need 

Woke up tired not knowing where the day was headin'
Started the car and drove down Mallory 
Best worst coffee in the world and I’m not even kidding
But the cashier smiled with the kindest eyes 
That I have ever seen…

Chorus
Cause love, love is everlasting
Look around you’ll see exactly what I mean 
Right now, my heart feels like dancing 
Cause simple things again and again
remind me to believe that 

La la la

Lines

Full disclaimer - this is a work tape:)but I hope to produce the song on an album with all the other "family" songs I'ver written. Maybe in 2022. I wrote this song for my beloved sister Lizzie after one of the last times we saw each other. May you continue to take tiny steps in the right direction, and know how much you are loved. You are stronger than you know, and you can get through this.

The Way That I Do - For Lizzie - work tape

I wrote this song after watching and listening to a ton of interviews and music at my first every Americanafest. I think there's something powerful "in the water" here in Nashville, and it's a whole lot of music and love. I woke up with the song in my head and went to work, and then I put it on my 2020 "Future Memories" album (co-produced with the amazingly talented Wilson Harwood in Nashville). I always think of my sister Lizzy when I sing perform this one.

Future Memories

Something In The Water

I wrote this around Thanksgiving 2020, missing my friends and family. I've been so grateful to have my husband and kids close for the last year. Some of my friends live alone in tiny apartments in Manhattan, and I can't imagine not being able to see and hold people.

Snow Angels - Sarah Bonsignore

I had a very vivid dream about my brother, Thomas, who died in a car accident when he was 16 and I was in college. In the dream he was smiling at me, so calm and content, and so very real. We couldn't speak to each other though, but somehow I knew he was okay. A few days later I dreamed I was playing the song about him, and when I woke up the whole thing was in my head.
