about

This song was commissioned by a woman named Christine to give her husband on his birthday. After both of them experiencing the heartache of divorce and being alone, they met each other and found true love. She told me that she believes their love has saved them. They love to go hiking together, and there are a couple references to their favorite hikes in the Pacific Northwest. He is a pilot and is often all over the world for his work. She provides him a home. But his work also allows them to travel the world, and she loves this. She wanted a song that would convey her devoted love and thankfulness for him. This song is musically unique in that it is composed in the Lydian mode, a major scale with a raised 4th. It gives the song a brightness and wistfulness at the same time.

lyrics

Come with me up Silver Star Mountain
Take my hand upon the Angel’s Rest
Up in the sky you look in my eyes
And I show you my soul
Up in the stars you give me your heart
Kiss me, my love, I’m yours forever

Now that we can weave our lives together
You and I will rescue each other
You give me the world, I give you a home
These things we never had before
For the rest of my life I won’t let you go
Kiss me, my love, I’m yours forever

We have been saved
We’re no longer alone
By the sweetest love we’ve ever known
Kiss me, my love, I’m yours forever
