Story Behind The Song

This piece started off as an instrumental for the harp. When I performed it, I was told that it should be a 'boy meets girl' love song. Consequently, I wrote the lyrics for it with my partner.

Song Description

This is a tender love song, in which a boy takes a fancy to a golden - haired girl whom he sees every day in passing. She fills his dreams and wonders if they spoke, would she be interested in him, at least as friends. He would like to make a date with her, walking through the meadows and maybe then beginning their life together. Time moves on, and now they are partners living in a far off land and sharing their lives and bulding a home together.

Lyrics

'The Girl With Golden Hair'

Verse 1
Who is she, the girl I see
Passing through my dreams?
Haunting face, filled with grace,
Heavenly, so it seems.
So I'll just have to wait,
Till she passes by my gate.
Eyes so bright, filled with light,
The girl with golden hair.

Verse 2
Dare I hope, if we spoke,
Something would be there.
Minds could meet, my heart would beat,
Wanting her to care.
I feel we could be friends,
Making most of what life sends.
I'll just see, what will be with
The girl with golden hair.

Middle 8
We could dance and, we could sing,
and find the joy that it would bring.
Reaching up to skies so high and,
feeling we could fly.

I'd take her hand, across the land,
or maybe dance along the sand.
By the sea so warm and blue I'd,
gently kiss her too.

verse 3
Could I dare, that she might care
To share her life with me?
By my gate, we'll make a date,
To walk through meadows free.
No clouds across the sun,
Our lives have just begun.
With souls laid bare, and face so fair is,
The girl with golden hair.

verse 4
Holding hands, in far off lands,
Life has now moved on.
We dance awhile, and kiss and smile,
And fill our hearts with song.
I'll have to dream no more,
Our love is here for sure.
No longer alone, I'll build a home for
The girl with golden hair.
