I wrote this song for Nara back when I returned from Vietnam in the spring of 2024. I still remember sitting at my desk in Canada and dreaming of making it work. Risks, rewards, patience and persistence, but it's all been worth it. No, it's not my voice, yes I wrote the song. I haven't completed a song in over 20 years, I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's great to be so inspired in life again.
Lyrics:
In the quiet of the night, I hear your voice,
Echoes in my mind, it's not a choice,
Laying on the bed, looking at the city lights,
Sharing dreams, wishing we could hold tight.
[Chorus]
Nara, you're the constellation in my heart,
Intelligent, beautiful, a living art,
Across the world, but never far apart,
I miss you deeply, it's just the start.
[Verse]
Hours we spent, talking about life,
Every conversation cuts like a knife,
Seas and skies can't keep us away,
In each other's dreams, together, we stay.
[Chorus]
Nara, you're the constellation in my heart,
Intelligent, beautiful, a living art,
Across the world, but never far apart,
I miss you deeply, it's just the start.
[Bridge]
One day we'll break these chains of distance,
Wake up together in the same existence,
Hold your hand, see your smile as you sleep,
Promises of love, forever we keep.
[Chorus]
Nara, you're the constellation in my heart,
Intelligent, beautiful, a living art,
Across the world, but never far apart,
I miss you deeply, it's just the start.
Counting the hours, lost in your light,
Miles disappear in the dark of the night,
Pictures and words, they carry me through,
Every star I see reminds me of you.
