300. Journey (Original)

For my 300th video, I am uploading a song about three loves of my life, two of which are travelling and singing.

I wrote this as the concluding song for my second CD, "Laws Of Chance".

Lyrics:

From Turkey to Tana Toraja,
From Sarawak to Spain,
We've walked the streets of Paris
And the beach along the Seine.

...We've wandered the world together
...Exploring far and wide,
...And the journey's always brought me joy
...Since you've been by my side.

From sunrise on the Ganges,
From Bangkok to Berlin,
To sunset over Angkor Wat
And the limestones of Guilin.

Under the Saharan starlight
Sharing tajine in the dark,
Our hearts beat to the Bedouin drums
While the sand-flies made their mark.

I sang about living in Paris,
In Brunei and Hong Kong.
Wherever we roam I feel at home
For you are my sweetest song.

My friend and my companion,
You've made it all worthwhile,
For you have always brought me joy
Since I walked you down the aisle.

"My friend and my companion,

You've made it all worthwhile,

For you have always brought me joy

Since I walked you down the aisle."

Those are increasingly rare sentiments in today's day and age! I like this song of yours...wish it was one of your more well known ones. :-)
