I adapted the lyrics written by Suzanne (SUEBEE). I hope you don't mind I made quite a bit of changes to fit the song how I envisioned it. I tried to keep true to the theme.
Won’t Sing You A Love Song
Your letter found me today.
In disbelief I’m reading
these words in front of me,
speak only of your needing.
With bitterness I'm shaking.
A thousand miles away;
I hope that's where you will stay!
you say your heart beats just for me;
but some things never change,
I hope he makes you happy
cos I'll not call your name
Chorus (1:07 – 1:46)
I won’t sing you a love song
I won't hold you while you sleep.
I won't read your letters
Don't call on me.
I won’t sing you a love song
I know you don’t understand
I will never come running
I will never hold your hand.
1:49 – 2:46
It only took one smile,
to bring me to you.
Destiny reached out,
and made the world feel new.
The power of a dream
turning want into need.
I came to you so broken
I put the world in your hands.
who cares what words are said
when words are drifting like sand.
In misery I'm breaking;
Make it all go away.
So I can turn a new page.
you say your heart beats just for me;
but some things never change,
I hope he makes you happy
cos I'll not call your name!
Chorus (2:51 – 3:24)
Bridge (3:27 – 4:00)
She was my angel.
she was my baby.
she was so sweet.
She was my lady.
YOU LOST YOUR WAY!
You lost your way,
when you lost sight
Did you think you’d keep my heart
when our love died?
I hope he makes you happy
cos I'll not call your name!
Chorus (4:29 – 5:00)
First V erse Fade (5:04 – end)

Oh yeah! Lovin this! It is awesome to play a tune with a new vox added and to have such a complete arrangement done. You nailed it again my friend! Thank you Luke. Now I am really curious how the other version will turn out.

Whenever you get time, up load the seps. No hurry though because it is going to be three more weeks before I am done with this crushing semester…. and I am supposed to go on a business trip for a week out of country sometime in August…… but I will get around to all these tracks eventually. Gotta listen to this a few times. Great work.

Thanks, I really like this song, the lyrics being already written makes it much easier for me to put something together.
for seperates do you want them with fx or dry? and do you want me to break the seps up entirely, or just lead vocal as 1 track and backings as the other?

I like the sound you get, so fx is fine with me. That sounds good, one lead and one backing. Just center the lead vox. I am liking this song more and more as it gets added to.

@ Luke…. What about during the two long " You lost your way" at the end of the bridge (3:40 - 3:56) you added back up Vox answer backs "you lost your way"? Just an idea.

Thanks Sue, I hoped you wouldn't min the changes :-)
I'll have a look at that backing there Jay. I'm always happy for suggestions and recommendations to help the creative process. I should have those up this weekend.
