My Summer Hair

Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a good summer.

... and speaking of summer...

I wrote a song last month for Mel to use in a fun Soundclick challenge. The theme of the challenge was "summer". Mel recorded a very nice version of the song in her great style and it received a lot of cool and positive comments on Soundclick. Her vocals are awesome as usual.

The song is about a woman loving the summers that she spends with her love at the beach, and she sadly laments how they must part at the end of each summer. As they part, she reminds him that he'll always adore her and fondly remember the way she wears her hair for him during their summers together. It's really an upbeat, airy song about young love in the summertime. :-)

Mel's great version of the song is here ---> app.box.com/s/vyqpbsg0v05cajpwtzwa

My original rough demo is here ---> app.box.com/s/dfr892rcb80yfmjpkned

And, please, no laughing at me for singing a woman's song -- lol! It expressly was written for a woman (Mel) to sing, not a guy, so if Mel had not recorded it, it never would have seen the light of day in its present form, but it could be rewritten slightly to make it a song about a guy singing about his woman's summer hair.

Verse 1
It starts with a kiss
and a breeze on the beach
The look in your eyes
When you're looking at me
A summer's forever
when I'm in your arms
I melt into you
and all your sweet charms

Verse 2
Our days and our nights
Fly by fast and so free
Two hearts bound in love
One in eternity
And you must remember
when you're gone away
Take this kiss that you'll miss
and return here someday

Chorus
You will remember me
Under the stars
Each summer reminds you
of me from afar
Our very last night we vowed love in a prayer
You'll always adore me in my summer hair

Verse 3
You told me you loved
the way moonlight shines
on my hair at my shoulders
from dusk until light
Summers are Heaven
Till you go away
The price of goodbye
is to cherish today

Verse 4
So look at me now
And remember this place
The strands of my hair
softly spill in your face
Please hold this forever
in all that you do
Taste this kiss that you'll miss
and return to me soon

Bridge
Your goodbyes just break my heart
Why do summers have to end
Lonely nights where tears don't dry
Why does heartbreak never mend
