The Magic

Land of the Loving
by David Benoit
Lyrics by Mark Winkler 

Deep in your eyes is a promise
Love can be ours if we want it
Starting tonight ev'ry dream I ever knew
Here in your arms I'm believing
Fin'lly my life has a meaning of its own
Here in the land of loving I am home

I was alone in the city
Searchin' for someone to find me
cold empty nights and a million strangers' eyes
Here in your arms I'm beginning
To leave behind all the loneliness I knew
Here in the land of loving there is you.

In this simple room magic is made
Though the world seems unchanged
Leave the lights on I'm a bit afraid
This might be just a sweet dream.

Deep in the night love is growing
Though I had no way of knowing
That when I found you I found ev'rything I need
Here in your love I'll be staying
Fin'lly my life won't be living all alone
Here in the land of the loving I am home.

I heard this song from Ms. Jaya Ramsey when she was just starting out here in the local music scene.  Up to now, I could still remember just how she sang it and how i fell in love with the melody and lyrics. 

Was never in-love at that time but this song has made me feel super in-love in the truest sense of the word.  It brought me to one fantasy land where I believe the princess will meet her prince… 

My mom noticed that I'm smiling while sleeping when this is being played on the background.  She didn't know that her daughter is turning into a beautiful princess dressed in pink elegant gown… holding the hand of the prince while sun rays are starting to strike behind the mountains with the blooming flowers around.

That explains why most of the time, I wake up late.  I'm touring around most of the beautiful places in my dreams…. *toink!
