Story Behind the Song
Our dad heard us sing this song when we were rehearsing for a gig and liked it, so we recorded it for the Six Songwriters Companions showcase CD.

Lyrics
For your love
Once I was living for song and for wine,
Believing the moment and the future were mine,
But you took my tomorrows when you walked through my door,
Then the life I once had was mine no more
And as you held me we flew over rivers and hills,
No time to reflect as the wind filled our sails,
And in our wake lay the ashes of my life gone by,
Turned to smoke as I saw the fire in your eye.
Now the only that's certain is that night follows day,
And I knew when you left, you'd take my world away.
Now I am drowning in wine and sad song,
The love we once had has died its long gone,
But there's a place where these moments will last for all time,
It's in my heart where it's written that forever you're mine.
Now I pray to the angels in the heavens above,
That you'll always remember the moments we had.
So you never will know what you've had till its gone,
And if you have love but sure and hold on,
Because if you let go just for one day,
The most precious thing in your life will fly away.
Now I pray to the angels in the heavens above,
For your love
