This is also posted on our collaboration page, but for as long as we don't have a premium membership, I will post it here too, so I can add a picture and soundfile to it. 

Voice: Jason Williams

***

     I’ve fallen for him, I’m head over heals
     His picture I have, gives me so many feels.
     His smile, his eyes, so beautiful to me,
     When he looks my way, then what does he see?

I look at his photos, so dear to me
His eyes warm and sometimes sad
Whatever he tells me, all I can see
Is gentleness and love, nothing bad.

     Just to hear his voice and what he will say.
     Bringing light to my world, he brightens my day.
     Oceans apart, it’s really not fair
     But I love what we have, I know that he cares.

I won't forget the day we met for real
I love him and know him so very well
Every little thing makes me whole, I feel
Alive again, totally under his spell

     With each day that passes, i'm starting to find;
     He's sweet and compassionate, this angel of mine.
     Each night i wait and each night I long
     for morning to come, with him I belong

His little giggles, how he feels no shame
around me, how he talks, what he says
That's the way love evolves, he feels the same
about me, his loving, tender ways.

     By candlelight, I lie awake in bed,
     with visions of him skating through my head.
     For morning I wait, for morning I long.
     In the mean time, I listen to our song.

I dance, arms wrapped around me, I sway,
Rock back and forth with memories
I hope that one day, not just a piece
Of me will be with him, and this time stay
