I have been trying to write a ballad for a long time, and get side tracked as it turns into something else. Ironically, something else turned into this ballad!
I am proud of this one, it turned out better than I could have hoped. It is a mid -tempo ballad with melodic verses and a soaring sing-a-long chorus, and strings add a dramatic sweep to the baritone vocals.
Lyrics
Surrounded by love
Verse 1
Well, we’ve got this far, made it on our own
Made a life and we’ve made a home
we live and love with one shared goal
To fill our lives with heart and soul.
All the things we see and do today
Are memories made for another day
the future’s bright as I can see
It all looks good for you and me
The hopes we have for the years ahead
and all the dreams that we have said
They’ll come to us if we believe
There’s nothing that we can’t achieve
Chorus 1
I’m surrounded by love when you’re in this world with me
I’m surrounded by love there’s no place I’d rather be
Your spirit stays with me whenever we’re apart
It wraps its arms around me and keeps you in my heart
We’re surrounded by love and I know you feel it too
We’re surrounded by love and we know it to be true
Verse 2
When we’re old and grey maybe past our prime
We’ll take a look back re-live this time
So much to see so much to do
I want to do it all with you
The plans we’ve made for the years ahead
The silent prayers that we have said
They’ll come to us if we believe
There’s nothing that we can’t achieve
Chorus 2
You’re surrounded by love when I’m in this world with you
You’re surrounded by love and you know my love is true
My spirit stays with you whenever we’re apart
It wraps its arms around you and keeps me in your heart
We’re surrounded by love and I know you feel it too
We’re surrounded by love and we know it to be true
We’re surrounded by love and I know you feel it too
We’re surrounded by love and we know it to be true
