Description
A song about love. You can sing it, play it, dedicate to whom ever you like. For me it has to be my lovely wife.

Here's the thing. Basically it is a nice song but as my wife says it's a bit flat. So I am looking for some collaborators to add that extra sparkle. Can you help?

Lyrics
White Lily of spring
in a falling valley green
with Oak and Ash
to love and care

With arms of leaves
and hearts of wood
you're always there

And waters clear
leave the mountains grip
to wash the air
in gentle mists

And the sun warms
with shafts of gold
a morning sky
a story's told

Weary eyes
read a sullen sky
and cautious feet
tread softly by

Two heads rest
in natures arms
to join their hearts
safe from harm

For love is the key
to a closing door
love is a hand
to guide the unsure

Love is a word
that is often said
but how many
times is it meant?

And my message of hope
is my dream of dreams
for love is something
my heart has seen
This song was
written for you
you've got a precious
gift to share
got a precious gift to share

Thank you
As always. You are always so kind. I just thought it could do with, for want of a better word, folking up a little. I think it would sound awesome with a fiddle guitar and female vocal.

Hi....
I enjoyed the guitar and the singing got the song lyrics across, so was OK with me.

There's always something someone could do with a song, from one point of view or another, so I look forward to any collaboration/s you do.

Take care.

Enjoyed the back and forth
slight rocking feel of the open tune style of the guitar. Nice words and gentle singing. Love the fade out too !!

Thanks for sharing, I noticed a English, london type style in your voice. Nice !

dream of dreams
absolutely lovely song writing. very organic feel to your performance here. excellent guitar playing and sweet singing alongside. There is a sweet simplicity to this that I'm not sure I would mess with. On the other hand, I could hear some nice soft piano and sweeping strings in here too. Many different possibilities for this beautiful tune.

I am not
so sure that this needs anything more. Just a lovely song well performed, what more could you want?
The hiss is a little bit distracting though, but I know it can be really hard to get rid.
Cheers

It is my
pet snake i just cannot seem to keep her quite while I am recording. Only joking. I must admit I recorded the song in a bit of a rush. I may redo it or just remaster, still fine tuning my new interface. Glad you enjoyed it.

Very well performed and very much enjoyed!

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed my blend of guitar. It is not the best recording I know, but I enjoyed laying the track down. So it is rewarding that is being appreciated.

Mr Paddler (Richard)
By all means have a go. After listening to you excellant work it would be an honour. I recorded the track in a bit of a hurry, hence the hiss (plus crap microphone), I just wanted to get it down before the moment was gone.
PS. I was a little drunk yesterday after trawling the bars of Manchester, now as a punishment I am in work.
PPS. Sorry about the slow response, but I was computer less, as well as leg less yesterday. Did you really see me in Windermere?
PPPS. Next time I am in Beatrix Potter land I will try and catch one of your perfomances, do you do a Bill Bailey and slip subliminal messages into perfomances of 'Fly Me To The Moon'?

So pretty...
Your lyrics create such vivid imagery. I feel like i'm in that green valley. And the guitar is so complementary to the lyrics. Your voice has a comforting quality.
