Gary Blanchard
beloved, local musician
This is a song I wrote this morning, inspired by something Carol and I saw last night while we were out. I experimented with the harmonizer - I think it is too robotic for me. I am looking forward to doing more with the song, though. Here's the lyrics:
The Heart Has No Reason
He met her at a meeting; he had 90 days of being dry.
He was minding his own business when she finally caught his eye.
Though together they have struggled, together they find victory.
Others may decide to judge them, but it looks like love to me.
Chorus
The heart has no reason, love has reason of its own.
And it is not our place to question what the seeds of love have sown.
She met her in the classroom; saw her there on opening day.
And she knew that when their eyes met, it just took her breath away.
They decided not to hide it; they show their love so openly,
Others may decide to judge them, but it looks like love to me.
Chorus
I met her at the art fest, read the book that she had done.
And I knew from that moment, something great had just begun.
We had so many things in common though we came from worlds apart.
Twenty years we’ve been together in a joining of the heart.
Chorus
