	You meet, you fall, you kiss, maybe more. You spend the night, or a lifetime. Then the morning shines, and reality sets in. The passion is gone, but the love; the attraction still remains. "When The Morning Shines" confronts the unspoken possibility that opening our hearts may only bring emptiness, the morning after.

	Story Behind the Song Morning shines was written in the Spring of 1998. It was inspired from seeing so many people wake alone each morning, never in the arms of a lover. In my own life, I was in a relationship where every night ended alone, never to see the morning together. It began to mak me wonder what was being hidden; what was being avoided; and hence the song ensued and turned out to be one of my most popular songs, and eventually lead to the dance mix. The song was written over a period of weeks, before completion. The production of the ballad went fairly quickly, albeit the pre-production for the dance arrangement spanned 2 years and three different arrangements. Lyrics I met someone today, I hope you never go away Cause I don't think I will ever be the same It doesn't matter why, but my heart began to fly, and my mind began to race each time that we embraced... Will you feel the same way when the morning shines? Will you look me in the eye and tell me everything is fine? Cause I don't think I can sacrifice another lonely piece of mind...will you feel the same way when the morning shines? Will you be like the rest? Only see my best? Or maybe this one finally has the key...to my heart and soul, walk through my virgin snow in the corners of my mind, read every chapter of my life... Will you feel the same way when the morning shines? Will you look me in the eye and tell me everything is fine? Cause I don't think I can sacrifice another lonely piece of mind...will you feel the same way when the morning shines? Maybe I am crazy for believing in a dream...maybe I just don't wanna be alone...Baby I've been living in a world of fantasy, but the truth is I don't wanna dream at all...
