Your free download this month is a custom made song I wrote for a young bride a few years ago. I want to tell you the story behind this song.

There are literally millions of songs in the world that have been written for a wide variety of purposes, occasions, and special events, but when it comes to picking one that exactly fits you -you the individual - who is different from everybody else in this world, it often becomes a real problem.

The bride needs a wedding song, that perfectly fits the moment when she and her new husband walk down the aisle as husband & wife, or for that ever so meaningful, first dance. 

Maybe you're planning a team building  event where you could really use a special " company song" for your employees to rally around. 

Perhaps you want to say something very special, to someone you love & you're completely frustrated with all of your attempts so far.

Enter the song writer! I have written many custom-made songs for folks in all of the circumstances above.

I think you'll find it really interesting to discover the process of how I  wrote this song, for this bride, as a special gift for her husband on their wedding day.

Here's the story behind My First Love,My Only Love


I asked for, & received assume general  background information that the bride wanted me to include in the song, in point form.
Here it is:

Our Story
We have know each other our whole life 
– our parents knew each other when they were growing up 
(they weren’t necessarily friends but the knew each other )

- when we were 12ish we took magic lessons together – in Toronto
- two years ago I went to visit
- I went to visit my sister in dubai
- that is when he told me he has had feelings for me for awhile and ask if we could give it a shot
- taken by surprise but  I said yes – I had feelings for him to

we had a rough first six months just being to whole long distance thing and then he came to visit me and things got better
-people think that we are so different – but we bring out the best qualities in each other


Here's the poem/lyrics that I created from her information

My First Love , My Only Love
Our lives began as  childhood friends                           
We played the games that children play
There’d be tales of pirates ships 
& seven mighty  seas you sailed and
as you pushed me on that swing
I’d sail above the clouds
Just two children that  we knew
Nothing  drawn  attention to

Then  came the time for play to end
Time to tend our grown up dreams
Memories of childhood days
are never put away it seems and
When came time for us to part
We knew we were in love
Every time we  said goodbye 
You whispered me your sweet sigh

You are my first love
And you’ll be my only love , I promise
Come please take my hand
Won’t  you stand by me , for ever
I dedicate my life to you

We have a bond it’s  magical
A gift that love has sent to us
Merlin the magician surely envies
All the charms that  love’ has
What enchantment love has spun on
This our  day of days
Hearts and souls forever tied
Trusting  love to be our guide

We’re  not the same that’s what they say
We know that the are all so wrong
Me you know as  independent ,
But I am dependent  on you
Master of the art of speech
You  always hear me call
If it’s true we’re not the same
We are blind and love ‘s to blame
