Story Behind The Song

I have been trying for years to come up with words and melodies to convey my love for my wife, inez Edwards. We became engaged 35 years ago on Valentine's Day and I wrote this song and gave it to her on Valentine's Day 2011. March 2, 2011 was our 35th wedding anniversary.

Song Description

This song is reminiscent of a Barry White type song sung in the 1970's. It consists of a low male bass voice talking romance, with a sung chorus interspersed, then a talking bridge and a long ending with a fade-out. It is very romantic.

Lyrics

Soulmate - Dedicated to my wife, Inez Edwards 2/14/2011 Happy Valentine's Day.

Verse 1
The first time I saw you;
Was like we'd met before.
We met in a dream, perhaps,
Or on some distant shore?

Verse 2
We talked all night long.
Gazed into each other's eyes.
We dreamed together on and on.
And then we realized...

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Verse 3
Together life is so beautiful.
It's nothing less than fate.
You fill my very soul.
I'm complete with my mate.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Bridge:
I know it sounds crazy.
I know it sounds insane.
It's something unbelievable.
It's something we can't explain.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Bridge 2
Soul mates.
Soul mates.

Instrumental
Soul mates.
Soul mates.

Verse 4
I know we'll always be together .
Walking through the world hand in hand.
You are my woman.
I will always be your man.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.
