Every footstep, every mile (Male Voice Choir)
This recording was kindly made by the Mexborough Male Voice Choir of Yorkshire, UK.
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
I feel very honoured that along with "On the golden sands of time" this song has been performed by the endearing Mexborough Male Voice Choir, Yorkshire, England.
The Musical Director at the time was John Stuart and I admired the way he was open to experimenting with new material, especially from an absolute amateur like myself.
My sincere thanks go to all concerned.
Lyrics
Starting out on the walk of life together now,
Everythings so right somehow,
Starting out on a journey with a trusted friend,
On whom I can depend.
Love we know, love we feel
So dreams we dare to dream will come true and real,
Trust in me, you will see that I will do my part,
Now you will hold my heart.
Chorus
Every footstep, every mile,
Every mountain to be climbed,
We will climb together,
You mean everything to me,
And everything I need
Is in your smile.
Cloudy days won’t dismay me now that we are one,
‘Cause you are the sun to me,
Winding roads leading on to where we’ve never been,
Through wide open dreams.
Come what may, we will stay together through the storms,
Your shelter is in my arms,
Standing strong, we belong together for all time,
In body soul and mind.
CHORUS
Every footstep, every mile,
Every mountain to be climbedwe will climb together,
You mean everything to me,
And everything I needis in your smile.
I’ll sacrifice, pay the price, for wealth beyond compare,
As long as you are there,
When you’re down, turn around, I’ll gently take your hand,
Then you’ll understand.
What we have, what we’ve learned will help us well I know,
To reach where we both want to go,
Strength in you, strength in me to overcome the falls,
So we’ll have it all.
CHORUS
Every footstep, every mile,
Every mountain to be climbedwe will climb together,
You mean everything to me,
And everything I needis in your smile.
CHORUS REPEAT
