Title: This is Love
Post by: TPB on February 02, 2021, 12:50:09 PM
Ok this is a older song my daughter was married 9 years ago and today is their anniversary I wrote this song for their wedding and got Gabe Stefani to do the vocals so nine years later and two kids this song is for them I sent a link so they can stop in
Tim
A young girl meets the boy next door
She thinks he nice and could be so much more
They share their first kiss and hold each others hands
She loves the way he looks at her he is her man

That is love One true love
That is love One true love

Years go by they are like two peas in a pod
She looks in his eyes and he into her she thanks god
Then one evening on warm summer night
He gets on a knee and asks her to be his bride

That is love One true love
That is love One true love

Years go by and there a little one on the way
The day he born take their breath away
They hope and pray as only a parent can
Hope he grows up to be a good man

That is love One true love
That is love One true love

The years go by and the kids move away
He holds her hand on a warm summer day
He see the young girl he met a long time go
He whispers I love you just so she will know

That is love One true Love
That is love One true love

Well I heard she passed on a warm summer day
He goes every morning put flowers on her grave
He knows it would not be long till its his time
He just waiting for the day when he can look in her eyes

That is love One true love
That is love One true love

That's really wonderful that you wrote them a song!   I got a little something in my eye.  Just a minute.

Happy Anniversary to them!

Songs are definitely time capsules,  it's great that you have given this nice gift to them.

Very beautiful. It has a nice 70's singer-songwriter vibe to it. Really digging that acoustic guitar and bass - so mellow. Brilliant work.

Very nice romantic song, Tim and has that lovely singer/songwriter vibe as Greeny says.

Lovely chilled out vibe... you nailed the spirit of the song with that rolling melody. Something about the flute that kind of renders you helpless, it would melt any heart. Great work to all involved and a nice story.

I liked this right from the start! Peaceful folky vibe...the flute(?) is icing on the cake. Fine work and anniversary song!

Lovely Tim. What a great idea for a song, and you pulled it off really well. A really nice composition and lovely lyrics. I too enjoyed the bass work and the way it underpins the song. Very melodic flute/synth work as well.

I hope they like it!

Loved the lyrics Tim... well written and a great gift for the newlyweds..hope they continue to share a lasting love.

As for Gabe (Stenziano, not Stefani), he's ok. Just retired. Got rid of his gear. 50 years of music, near 30 as a FT musician, and he's had enough. Into mountain climbing and hiking now. His son Dan Stenziano has now hiked the PCT from Canada to Mexico, and a year later, the CDT trail from Mexico to Canada. In between, climbed the "46" in the Adirondacks with his Dad. Dan just posted a nice film of the last adventure on his Youtube channel. It's great.

Nice love song Tim. Good work..
