about

This song was written for my niece, Sarah, and her husband, Eric. I wrote it when they were planning their wedding, which was delayed for a year, due to the COVID pandemic. When they were able to have the ceremony (in Northern Maine), I had the honor of playing it with the Larry Williams band at the wedding reception.

The song was inspired by Sarah and Eric, and I hope the song captures their special relationship.

lyrics

As you walk down the aisle
Even though it took a while
Seems to me you’ve opened up your hearts
And let the good things in that you need

On a mountain side near the tree line
I see the sun upon the snow
That’s where I picture you both together
In the sunshine and the wild’s where you go

You found
Something everybody’s looking for
You found
A way to wrap your arms around the world
And each other
There's no other
Way to go

On a frozen lake up in Maine
There isn’t anyone around
But the two of you with your open hearts
And the adventures that you start
