lyrics

A QUIET PLACE

It’s been a long, long time now we’ve been together
Together far more than apart
We’ve laughed we’ve cried, we’ve learned a lot in living together
But this love still sings a warm song in my heart

Things won’t always be so smooth
Dark clouds ahead, that final news
But let’s just live our lives

A quiet place in the woods with a lake to swim in
Cathedrals in a vase of flowers and stems
A simple meal, some wine to toast this life together
A warm bed to snuggle though the night

Things won’t always be so smooth
Dark days ahead, that final news
But let’s just live our lives

Our books, our paintings, our poems, our songs
This tapestry we’re weaving of our lives
The sights the sounds the dreams the memories
No, we know this won’t last so very long

It’s been a long, long time now we’ve been together
Together far more than apart
We’ll laugh we’ll cry, we’ll live and learn in living together
But this love will always sing a warm song in my heart
Let’s sing that song
La la la la la
Sing that song
La la la la la
etc.

Excellent, sweet and beautifully done... great harmonics and beautiful backing, Brian! - Rana B., Montreal

So gorgeous, the lyrics, the melody, the poetry. This is such a gift. Merci! - Sharon L., Deux Montagnes, Quebec

This song is great - with slightly bigger production it would be a yacht rock tune for sure!... a vibe I'm a sucker for. Very nice vibraphone on it. Catchy part. - Cam Maclean, songwriter/musician, Montreal

Very touching song, Brian... - Chard C., Montreal

I enjoyed the song. It's relaxes me. So beautiful. - Cheryl S., Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada

i really enjoy this one, Brian. Very genuine. The vocal harmonies are lovely too. - Piano Bunker, musician, Montreal

A beautiful video with fantastic photos to fit the music.... I almost want to dive into the still waters of it! That recurring phrase, "Things won't always be so smooth," is such an important reminder.... Treasure every moment while you can! I'll come back and listen to all these selections on
your web page of "official editions." Its so well edited! - Marcia G., Montreal

So Beautiful. Thank You for Sharing - Lorie Anne T., Lethbridge, Alberta

I really like your music, Brian! Great musical stories about life and love!- Al P., Charleston, West Virginia

I can also relate to this song...dark winter will always come in our life.it’s the attitude of your heart that matters..and it’s always a risk taking the chance..just be happy and take whatever comes your way..you seldom find true love and when you find it...keep it. - Maria E., Va., USA

Wow! What a beautiful song! I love it! - Sidq S., Banjul, Gambia
