Description
I wrote this song about 40 years ago and recorded it five years ago. It has been living only on my hard drive, so I thought a few of you might enjoy it. Upon a re-listen five years after the recording, I still like the quiet and uncomplicated aspects of the arrangement, and after 40 years I still like the peacefulness I remember feeling then...and that I still feel today.

Lyrics
When there is silence,
I think of all the days gone by.
And in the silence
I want to call and then to cry…
How much the moments mean;
How new the days now seem
Just because you’re near…
There is no doubt or fear.
When there is darkness,
My dreams are colored by your smile.
And in the darkness
I kiss that smile
Then dream a while.
How can I tell you?
It’s all so bright and new.
But when you are near
There is no doubt or fear.
When I am lonely,
I think of all you mean to me.
And when I’m lonely
I know that we will always see
A brand new beam of light,
A new song in the night.
And when you are here
There is no need for a tear.
(When you are near)
I think of all the days gone by.
And in the silence
I want to call and then to cry…
How much the moments mean;
How new the days now seem
Just because you’re near…
There is no doubt or fear.
When there is darkness,
My dreams are colored by your smile.
And in the darkness
I kiss that smile
Then dream a while.
How can I tell you?
It’s all so bright and new.
But when you are near
There is no doubt or fear.
When I am lonely,
I think of all you mean to me.
And when I’m lonely
I know that we will always see
A brand new beam of light,
A new song in the night.
And when you are here
There is no need for a tear.
(When you are near)
