A song I wrote for my son Alex.
All comments are welcome.
  
Light of Days Gone By
Verse 1
Light of days gone by
The memories of my life
Oh the mountains I have yet to climb
But now as time moves on
I hear a different song
In the heart of my only son

Chorus 1
He was God's gift to his mom and I that day
and thru the years I've watched him grow 
and find his way
And so the journey of my life is not my own
for with his love I will never walk alone

Verse 2
Finding a heart of peace
At times is hard to reach
when the thunder starts to roar
But as a father to my boy 
he's dreams are now my joy
thru each day and forever more

Chorus 2
He was God's gift to his mom and I that day
and thru the years I've watched him grow and find his way
And so the journey of my life is not my own
for with his love I will never walk alone

Bridge
The day he drew his first breath
our chosen one
Changed our lives forever
our precious son
Glory to the Father
let His will be done

Verse 3
Light of days gone by
The memories of his life
Oh the mountains he has yet to climb...

Hey James. Thank you for the listen and comments. Much appreciated. 
 
Hi Daryl. I am glad you liked it and thanks for the listen.
 
Thank you Dan! I spent a long time on this one even though the instrumentation is minimal. It's good to know it is holding up on other's systems. 
 
Much thanks Lynn. I appreciate the voice comment. I ended up using a SM57 over my AT4040. I wanted warmer. Now if I could get it sounding like your vocal!
 
Hi Wookie. Thanks for the listen and nice words. 
 
Hey Ed. I am glad you took a listen and liked it. Enjoying all your songs with your mates. Thanks.

*to his mom and me.* when the pronoun is used as an object it's the accusative case.  Besides that, loved it.  Love, the grammar nazi.
