Description

I had been playing this music piece for a while, waiting for the lyric to come into my mind, when I reconnected with a wonderful Lady that I hadn’t seen in 40 years! We began seeing each other regularly and the words came shortly after! I added the song to an album project I was compiling of my home studio experiences over the years. We have been together now for 10 years!

Bio

I am 73 Years young and have been a Singer/Songwriter since I began my musical journey at the age of 13. I played in bands in the 70’s and recorded a 4 song demo in a 24 track pro studio in 1981. I live in a small town and began concentrating on home recording starting in the 80’s and have evolved in that pursuit until today. I have an album of songs on all the streaming sites called “The Whisper of Souls” and am close to adding a second album in 2025. It will be called “One More Dance”.

Lyrics

I CAN LOVE AGAIN

I HAVE FOUND MY HEART
JUST WHEN ALL SEEMED LOST
SINCE I LOOKED UPON YOUR SOUL
I HAVE LOOKED UPON YOUR SOUL
I WAS BROKEN AND IN PIECES
AND SEARCHING FOR MY LIFE
UNTIL I FOUND YOU

WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS WILL GO
BUT COME TOMORROW IT MAY SHOW
FOR EVERY MOMENT THAT IT LASTS
I’LL BE THANKFUL THAT IT HAS
OH YES I WILL

NOW I CAN SEE TOMORROW
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
SINCE I TOUCHED UPON YOUR HEART
I HAVE TOUCHED UPON YOUR HEART
THERE I FOUND MY WAY BACK TO YOU
FROM OUT OF THE DARKNESS
OH I CAN LOVE AGAIN

WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS WILL GO
BUT COME TOMORROW IT MAY SHOW
FOR EVERY MOMENT THAT IT LASTS
I’LL BE THANKFUL THAT IT HAS
OH YES I WILL
