	Very special love song featuring guest vocals by Willie Nelson. This can be recorded as a duet and would be a good crossover song for pop/country.

	Story Behind the Song This is a love song about my relationship with music. It is the true love of my life, and listeners can relate in many ways to this song. It can be about a person or a passion. This song won the country category of the 2002 USA Songwriting Competition, and the Carole Bayer Sager Valentines Day songwriting Challenge at tonos.com. Lyrics Half a Heart – Gail Swanson ©2001 A love song’s just a love song, till I sing it to you Then it flies like a bird through my heart A morning’s just a morning, till I wake up with you Then it’s a song, and you’re the melody that leads me from the dark. Everybody knows that I am Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you You are the song in me. There was no beginning, no love at first sight You’ve just always been here. You are the reason I can dream when I’m asleep at night You’re in my heartbeat, keeping me safe inside. Everybody knows that I am Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you You are the song in me. There was a time I tried to walk away and leave you The air so cold I couldn’t breathe. But now I know I turned around cause I believe you are the better half of me. Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you You are the song in me. *Note: Willie Nelson is a friend and his vocal appearance on this song was just a personal favor to me for my most recent indie CD.
