about

Jazzy ballad, written when my family was camping up in Big Sur and I realized that just about everything I cared about in the world was sleeping there in the tent that night.

lyrics

Lasting Love
(by John Beccia)

Late at night beneath the moon......... Big Sur coast, it’s early June
Came to bed to see you lyin’ there
With our sleeping children, you.......... give yourself to all they do
Center of our universe is here

CHORUS - In this lasting love
(love can waken you)
In this lasting love
(love can make it new)
In this lasting love
(love can take you thru)
In this lasting love

How can anyone not see..... how it feels to be received
To have come so long, so very far
So far down and now retrieved, something that you can believe
Now accepted just for what you are
REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

REPEAT CHORUS

I was so lonely just living by myself...........A book upon a shelf
Till someone would read me and someone would need me
And help me believe in myself

Now my heart is open wide......... letting pain and joy inside
You can’t know what’s right without what’s wrong
Now I finally realize.......... staring at the open skies
I may change but here’s where I belong
REPEAT CHORUS
