Hi. It’s been a while….



There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving

Love is the answer.
At least for most of the questions in my heart.
Like: "Why are we here?", "And where do we go?",
"And how come it's so hard?".
It's not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing:
It's always better when we're together

Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at them stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings and brings new things
For tomorrow night you see that they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do

But if all of these dreams
Might find their way into my day-to-day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, mmm, mmm

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Simply beautiful. Love the collaborative blend. Talk about "making beautiful music together!"

So many great songs I encounter here for the first time. My list keeps growing, but that's a good thing. :silly:

Thank you for sharing!

Sounds great Daryl.

Is Natalie someone that you know or just a random U-Tube person that you decided to join on the song? Either way, you sounded great. Thanks for posting!

I've really missed you Daryl. That was great. I love this song.

I'm at work. But now I want to race home and pick up a uke and learn this one. Brilliant.

I really enjoyed your cute bass line too.

So glad you're back. Things just don't feel quite right when you're away for so long.

Loved it.

Shel
