A Single Flame is my latest composition. The lyrics are reflective and consider that although someone we loved is no longer with us they will stay in our memories and heart.
LYRICS

The darkness falls, the night begins,
It covers like a blanket over me.
The stars in the sky shine down upon us,
The birds are silent, silent, silent.

It seems as if you’re holding me,
Although your face begins to fade.
Your beauty’s in the world around,
The world around.

And still the shadows comfort me
A thousand memories whisper in my ear.
Your smile was a gift that shone upon us,
And how it lingers, lingers, lingers.

Though time moves on you’re always here,
I feel you watching over me
Your beauty’s in the air I breathe
The air I breathe
Eternal hope, eternal love,
A candle burns all through the night.
I call your name, for all to hear
A single flame, lights up the way, the way.

And when the morning sun appears
It feels like the warmth of your embrace
How tender your touch is there upon us,
It’s never ending, ending, ending.

Though you’re no longer here with me
Our souls will meet beyond this life
Your beauty lies within my heart,
Within my heart.
