WITHOUT YOU HERE - The Light - High School THROWBACK

Music and lyrics by Leah Amsden

These were all written end of High School. Nothing professional here. This was just me experimenting with cakewalk (with a crappy mic where I couldn't hear myself sing very well). Still cheesy bubblegum but with slightly less glitter. The “Rose” has been coming up for me lately. A woman in full blossom, peeling away the layers (petals) of my past, so it's interesting my old cover here...

With all of my recent talk/writing about the light, the fire, the flame, lighthouses etc., isn't it about right that I already knew about this “fire” way back when, but I forgot I even wrote a song about it? My first lover was a German exchange student, so naturally, it was a bit of a tragic relationship as we already knew, up front, that he'd need to go back to Germany at the end of the year. I did visit Germany senior year but it didn't work out... It was an adventure though (and I think there was some kind of karma settled between a German and a Jew...).

THE LIGHT

Once I saw a star
And I wished for love to find me
Now you're in my arms
My wish came true
I'm here with you
Love has found a way

Chorus:

When I look into your eyes, I see the fire
That burns deep within you
And nothing can stop the light

When I feel alone
I always think of you
When I'm in your arms
You shield the rain
You ease the pain of my burning heart

Chorus

There is nothing to fear
Cuz this is love
Cuz this is love
And nothing can stop true love
