Let My Love Lead You Home

Remember me my love

When darkness has come...
descended hard upon you...
When your mind is weary,
so weary... from the strain

When your heart is heavy,
and you're down on your knees
Just think of me and call...
remember me my love


Chorus
When you are down,
and feel no one cares for you.
Remember me my love...
remember I'm the one...
And when you are lost...
and feeling all alone...
Remember me my love...
let my love lead you home


When your spirit has...
abandoned you again
When all hope is gone...
remember me my friend

When your heart is heavy,
and you're down on your knees
Just think of me and call...
remember me my love


Chorus
When you are down,
and feel no one cares for you.
Remember me my love...
remember I'm the one...
And when you are lost...
and feeling all alone...
Remember me my love...
let my love lead you home


When your heart is heavy,
and you're down on your knees
Just think of me and call...
remember me my love


Chorus
When you are down,
and feel no one cares for you.
Remember me my love...
remember I'm the one...
And when you are lost...
and feeling all alone...
Remember me my love...
let my love lead you home

Remember me my love...
let my love lead you home
Remember me my love...
let my love lead you home
Remember me my love...

let ...
my...
love ....
lead...
you...
home.

Oh wow! You should have left a voice note for us to have an idea of how this beautiful song will sound. Lyrics definitely for a tender heart and beautiful soul.

This has the makings of a classic song. Just needs a Paul Simon to write the music.

"let my love lead you home" Very comforting words- thoughts that cradle ever so softly around the heart. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. In moments of darkness, love will light the way. Always. Tender sigh. ~ Brandy

I like the Carol King reference, I don't think she's accepting songs anymore so I'll have to find another, thanks Charlie for the encouraging words.
