Saint (2000) by Dirk Diamond published on 2024-03-05T12:04:10Z This is just a very simple song, reflecting on all the shiny aspects of a nice relationship, somewhere down the road! I wrote it for a friend at work, in 2000, for their wedding anniversary. Re recorded it in 2024, but just thought I'd keep it the same as it originally was in 2000, aside from the drastically improved production values! I've not changed a single lyric, though very nearly did change the whole thing. I thought for a while that I must have taken something from someone else's song, and have looked, but can't find anything, but I think that that concern says a lot for a certain amount of potentially unavoidable cliche in this case. I don't mean to be horrible about this song with that reflection, as clearly, in re-recording it, I must have been somewhat taken with it, so here it is. Lyrics Once my dream Everything I ever wanted Now reality All the love just as I said Was there for you and me And even after all this time You are still there for me So close to me That even when you close your eyes I fall asleep Inside your arms, inside your dreams See everything you are brings out some best in me And Heaven can wait Cause baby you’re my saint And I have been told This love will never go cold And Heaven can wait Cause baby you’re my saint See Heaven’s too late Cause baby you’re my saint When you hold my hand You lift away the aching scars You seem to understand You've pulled together all the parts Of life that scattered free Giving me another way To find that light you see There for me Giving me a hope to hold And ease my sleep Inside your arms, inside my dreams See everything you are brings out some best in me And Heaven can wait Cause baby you’re my saint And I have been told This love will never go cold And Heaven can wait Cause baby you’re my saint See Heaven’s too late Cause baby you’re my saint And Heaven can wait Cause baby you're my saint Genre Pop Comment by Nadine de Macedo it's a sweet ballad. definitely worth the rework 2024-04-18T14:32:48Z Comment by Larry Collen nothing gets in the way of the vocal-nice! 2024-03-06T16:27:34Z
