Sweet Surrender Of Morning Light - JohnTravis

Description : Wrote this letter many years ago, just now paring it with this piece.

Staring at you while you sleep, trying to figure out how to say the right words, the words that will touch your heart as well as your soul. The chic words you've always wanted to hear. Although, it seems useless now, you will never look back my way and it seems the light will only get dimmer on the other side of the tunnel. Silly of me to think I can change your mind about us, but it never hurts to try, right? I lay awake all night thinking of the right words. As I began to think about what would bring music to your ears what would make you cry, those tears of happiness and unselfish joy. Then I suddenly realized through your beauty, the mislaid words had already been spoken countless times; however I never meant a single word until now. Of all times, I could have said those words, I think to myself, “why now”? At a time when I know you’re leaving and moving on with your life. I know now that old saying is true; you never know what you have till it’s gone. So, I want to tell you those words, and this time I mean it with every ounce of might within me, from the bottom of my heart, now and forevermore… I love you! As the tears began to seep from my eyes onto the pillow underneath my head, I never knew what those words meant until now. Yes, those words I have spoken to you before, but with it, the feelings that erupt within my heart, it hurts and feels good at the same time. Knowing you will be gone soon hurts me even more. All the why’s in the world could never explain the passion and adoration I feel for you at this moment. As my arms move toward your tranquil body to hold you, I stop myself, knowing you will be happier without me. As my eyes began to tire, and my heavy heart began to weaken, I realized the dream was over, as the day kissed me goodbye, and the sweet surrender of morning light gives way.

This is a great track and I'm sad I'm just finding it now. I think this track is absolutely well done. It's very emotional and so is the beautifully written poem, which goes with it so well.

Thank you for sharing this work of art!

I downloaded your track and put some of my lyrics on it.I'm not much of a singer, but sure enjoyed singing to it. It's funny how your sad letter and my interpretation of it are similar. I'm going to post it on the wall here if I can figure out how. If I'm not supposed to, or it is against your wishes, just let me know and I'll figure out how to remove it. Thanks again for providing me with an enjoyable weekend.

Hey John, seems a shame to have 22 downloads and not one single comment, so I'll simply say beautiful work. This is absolutely gorgeous in every way possible. And the letter, well it is as heartfelt as the music.

On behalf of all of those who downloaded your track, I'll say thanks for sharing. Maybe the next person to download could say thank you as well.

Outstanding effort JT. Hope all is well.
