Song information
This song is from a 2009 project. Text below copied from old iCompositions site. See the old blog post and list of other project songs in blog post here: https://ibandstand.com/blogs/6

The fifth and final song in my "Songs by Seven" project (Sx7). Alliya's father wrote 50 poems for her mother years ago which he dubbed "Songs by Seven." Now a few have actually been put to music.

Pete recently put a piece online called Thinking Out Loud and said it was up for grabs for vocals. While eagle got to it first (hear his great track here), I happened to listen to it as I read one of Seven's poems and it just seemed like it might fit. I ran it past Pete, and he said go for it, so here it is. It's a pop sensibility I've never really played with before. I'm not quite happy with my mix, but I've decided to quit micromanaging it and just let it out in the wild. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics
As I lift my eyes to the skies,
clouds drifting in
the colors caressing
each day of life.

Morning's dew shining like jewels
in the colors of rainbow hues,
mystical mirage,
this life with you.

In this paradise made by you,
the colors of life.

I feel your touch,
the breath on my chest,
the rhythm of two hearts
beating as one.

In this paradise made by you,
the colors of life.

With the joining of our eyes,
my heaven is renewed,
the one that was given to,
heaven's light in my eyes.
This is what we pledged ourselves to: passions.

In this paradise made by you,
the colors of life.
