Hi! Welcome to my page. I'm a busy mom of 4 that dabbles in songwriting from time to time. I haven't uploaded a lot of new material in a while. Working on that. I want to branch out into other genres. Collaborators welcome! My strength lies in melody writing and instrumental music, and I have collaborated with many talented lyricists. Every so often I come up with a lyric on my own. You can listen to several collaborations as well as my solo projects on my music page. If you are an artist, publisher, or rep who is interested in one or more of the songs, please contact me through the email link.

Story behind the song
This song came quickly to me, within hours of my nephews death, which was a tragic and saddening event, the words and melody began to flood into my mind. I tried to cope with the feelings that I knew my sister in law and mother in law were both experiencing, and having children of my own and a son of the same age, I was overcome with emotion. I still get chills whenever I listen to this, I truly believe that this song came from God, and I as an instrument in his hands was able to communicate a message to help comfort all those whose lives were touched by Ethan. May God bless all those who has experienced the loss of a loved one, and may you find comfort.
Lyrics
In memory of Ethan Jonathan Alberts May 2001- August 2007 Words and Music by Natalie Alberts Copyright 2007 You Were Beautiful Sunlight fills the sky But the tears fall from my eyes Like a gentle rain Tries to wash away the pain You were here with me But for now your spirits free I keep asking why It's so hard to say goodbye But one day I know I'll hold you once again When my broken heart's made whole Until then I'll memorize the way you smiled I'll remember you were beautiful I will not forget All the joy and happiness How you changed my life How you made me feel inside And one day I know I'll hold you once again When my broken heart's made whole Until then I'll memorize the way you laughed I'll remember you were beautiful So beautiful and unfraid to share your love with me You chased away my rainy days And you gave me sight to see That one day I know I'll hold you once again When my broken heart's made whole Until then I'll memorize the way you loved I'll remember you were beautiful I'll remember you were beautiful
