No Guarantees (sung by Sarah Doggett)
Sung beautifully I think by Sarah Doggett. The song is about missing someone who you love dearly whether that is a friend or family member. The unexpected long-held last word (10 secs) I think is superb, and shows how Sarah connected with the song.
I'm easily inspired either by personal experiences, things said in conversation, being given a challenge, or being moved or amused by something. Many genres.
Story behind the song
This song has the outstanding vocals of Sarah Doggett who heard the song one day, and recorded it in two takes the next...a true professional. The unexpected long-held last word (10 seconds) shows how she really connected with the song. It's about missing someone you love dearly whether that's a friend or family member, and it's often been at No1 out of many thousands of songs here in the Pop /Musical chart.
Lyrics
No guarantees of how the future will unfold,
No guarantees that you will realise how much I need to hold you.
My hopes are fading fast, tearing me apart inside,
But my love for you will last, will live on and survive.
CHORUS
A million wishes cannot stem a raging tide,
Or take the clouds from out the sky,
Or take the salt from out the sea,
But in time a million wishes
May just bring you back to me.
No guarantees that I will see your smile again,
No guarantees that I will ever feel the end of pain,
Its sad that you are such a stranger to me now,
And its sad the love we had has disappeared out of range somehow.
CHORUS
A million wishes cannot stem a raging tide,
Or take the clouds from out the sky,
Or take the salt from out the sea,
But in time a million wishes may just bring you back to me.
Bridge
Quite often thoughts of you go racing through my mind,
Of what we ought to do, turn around, leave the past behind,
The seeds of love planted many years ago,
They are watered with my tears but theres no light to help them grow.
CHORUS
A million wishes cannot stem a raging tide,
Or take the clouds from out the sky,
Or take the salt from out the sea,
But in time a million wishes may just bring you back to me.
Yes in time a million wishes may just bring you back to me.
