Story Behind The Song
This song was written to express an amount of love that I know people still feel but is often left out in today's society of music. I have always been a huge fan of romantic and beautiful love songs and I wanted to write one with a 1960s bossa feel. It's a sound I've always enjoyed since I'm an old soul. It's also personal in that I've been in love before and felt this way. I think a lot of people can relate to feeling this way at least at one point in their lives. It's also a great relaxing song.
It is the first track on my second album "A Portrait Of LadyMay" and the first original song I wrote for the project. It was written and recorded in 2011 almost a year after I graduated college.
Song Description
It's a classic romantic love song with classy and poetic lyrics over a smooth latin bossa feel. It's lush string arrangement, simple but smooth horn lines, smooth rhythmic drums and percussion, and beautiful lyric align the song throughout. It is a pure expression of love from beginning to finish.

Lyrics
For You I would fly a million miles
To see your face and your smile.
The taste of love is on your lips,
I'd give all I have for another sip.
For You,
I'd swim the seven seas.
For You,
I'd give anything.
For Your Heart,
You are the essence of my soul,
I'll never let you go.
For You I'd give what's in my heart.
You know I've loved you from the very start.
I know that I'm the lucky one,
Since I've found you,
I've found the sun.
For You,
I'd climb the highest height.
For You,
I'd fight the toughest fight.
For Your Heart,
You own the essence of my soul,
I'll never let you go.
I don't know what you've done,
I'm so full of love, I can't see.
All I feel is
Like I've won
A race for you and me.
For You, I'd wait til' the end of time.
To be with you is so sublime.
For You,
I'd swim the seven seas.
For You,
I'd do anything.
For Your Heart,
You are the essence of my soul,
I'll never let you go.
