“Love, Loretta”

The first song I’m posting is a song I wrote in behalf of someone else. 🙂 It’s called “Love, Loretta”. At our Relief Society meeting (Church women’s group) this past fall, we had a service auction where we donated a service and bid on other people’s services. I donated an original composition/recording to be written for a loved one. A good friend of ours, Loretta, bid on my auction item. We met the following week to discuss her vision for the song and I wrote and recorded it by Christmas. Next Monday, I will dive a little more into “Behind the Music” specifically for this song. But for now, here you go!

“Love, Loretta”

Verse 1: Dear Mama, remember, when you sat at the piano to play. We gathered, around you, singin’ the night away.   Dear Mama, I watched you, go to Church and live the word. You were patient and strong, never doubting the Lord. Love, Loretta
Verse 2: Dear Daddy, Remember, when you came from nothing, despite all your struggles you grew a large family. You taught us roping and branding, always encouraging. You showed us how a man treats a woman, you’re the very best daddy. Love, Loretta
Chorus: Watching you dancin’ in the living room. Holdin’ on to one another, over, over and over again. Dear Mother and Father you’re forever. You were made for each other. Love, Loretta
Verse 3: Dear Mommy and Daddy, Your not as young as you used to be. But your faith in God’s Son will always set you free. My respect for you both, is beyond what I can describe. The rich legacy you built, will be written in the book of life. Love, Loretta
Chorus: Watching you dancin’ in the living room. Holdin’ on to one another, over, over and over again. Dear Mother and Father you’re forever. You were made for each other. Love, Loretta
