A song of farewell. Kenneth Lavrsen did the lovely backing.
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Story behind the song
I was writing English lyrics for a lovely Danish folk song that my friend Kenneth Lavrsen had done. After writing these lyrics, I was fooling around and this tune came up. So, what the heck, it became my own composition!
Lyrics
Fly With Me
© March 4, 2013 Stan
Verse 1
D
Fly with me through wide skies,
G
And leave the earth below,
D
Your pain will pale to paradise,
E7 A7
With purple skies that glow,
G
The joy of tearing recognize,
D
Through mother’s happy cries,
E7 A7
Our heaven yields you pure love,
G D
As you float high above.
Verse 2
D
Walk with me through timeless,
G
Our home gates open wide,
D
Where everyone gives kindness,
E7 A7
There’s no room for deride,
G
Dapple lights will quietly play,
D
Through sunshine every day,
E7 A7
The rainbows colour pools of love,
G D
No love is quite enough.
Chorus
G A7 D
Fly with me to open skies,
G A7 D
Fly with me to open skies,
Bm
Where peace will find you,
E
Where peace will hide you,
Bm G D
From pain…from pain…from pain!
Verse 3
D
Say goodbye to loved ones,
G
Though tears for sure will flow,
D
In your new home there never once,
E7 A7
An angry word was thrown.
G
You will love them from afar,
D
While riding on a star,
E7 A7
Come sit with me and watch the tide,
G D
Bathe over jewels of white.
Chorus
G A7 D
Fly with me to open skies,
G A7 D
Fly with me to open skies,
Bm
Where peace will find you,
E
Where peace will hide you,
Bm G D
From pain…from pain…from pain!
