Harbor of Your Heart without vocals

Here's a snippet of Harbor of Your Heart with vocals and harmony vocals 

Harbor 103

I wrote down this song on December 31st, 2006.  Many friends have asked for a recording so I am sharing this on Facebook for the first time.  It is a rough draft, but I will be recording a finished version very soon  I won 4th place in the American Songwriter lyric contest(2010 April/May issue) for this song, and the lyrics were printed in that issue ( Yay, I'm published :)!)  The lyrics were written in 20 minutes on the day before New Year's day, the melody however took some time to flesh out.   I shared this song with some friends that night and things haven't been the same since. I trust this will find it's way to the people who need it. The lyrics are typed out below.

 YOU WOULD BE MISSED                                  12-31-06

WHEN YOU’RE STANDING
AT THOSE CROSSROADS
BETWEEN LIFE
AND THE RAZOR’S EDGE

WHEN EVERY ATTEMPT
YOU MAKE TO REACH OUT
PUSHES YOU
NEARER THE LEDGE

REMEMBER
THE LOVE THAT HOLDS ON
THROUGH YOUR DARKEST
AND MOST PAINFUL HOUR

THAT BREAKS THROUGH
YOUR CLOUDY THOUGHTS
LIKE THE BRILLIANT SUN
TOUCHING YOU WITH ITS POWER
AND THEN REMEMBER…

YOU WOULD BE MISSED
YOUR LAUGHTER BRIGHTENS SOMEONE’S DAYS
YOU WOULD BE MISSED
TEARS SAY YOU’RE HUMAN IN SO MANY WAYS
AND IF YOU PASSED
THAT’S SOMEONE LESS TO BE KISSED
SO REMEMBER SOMEONE LOVES YOU
AND YOU WOULD BE MISSED

I'VE BEEN THERE 
WHERE YOU'RE STANDING
NOT WISHING TO SEE
TOMORROW

BUT THE LIFE WE HAVE
IS A PRECIOUS GIFT
AND THERE'S NO TIME
THAT WE CAN BORROW

SO, HOLD ON
TO YOUR LAST THREAD
THOUGH YOU FEAR
IT MIGHT BREAK

AND CHOOSE TO LIVE
THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
IT ONLY FOR 
SOMEONE ELSE'S SAKE
AND THEN REMEMBER...

YOU WOULD BE MISSED
YOUR LAUGHTER BRIGHTENS SOMEONE’S DAYS
YOU WOULD BE MISSED
TEARS SAY YOU’RE HUMAN IN SO MANY WAYS
AND IF YOU PASSED
THAT’S SOMEONE LESS TO BE KISSED
SO REMEMBER SOMEONE LOVES YOU
OH, REMEMBER SOMEONE LOVES YOU
YES, REMEMBER SOMEONE LOVES YOU
AND YOU WOULD BE MISSED
YOU WOULD BE MISSED
YOU WOULD BE MISSED
YOU WOULD BE MISSED!
