Night (Before You Go) (original song)

I originally wrote, recorded, and created a video for this song a few years ago. That version had a simple acoustic guitar and vocal arrangement. I finally got around to reworking the audio track, punching in a few vocal corrections, adding a synth string section, and creating a brand-new mix. I also found the old footage I took for the original video, and reworked that too in Wondershare Filmora 12 to create this video.
Night
=====
Night, studded with stars
Spread like a veil
That is hiding the truth from our hearts
Space, above and between
How many light years to fly
Till I reach you again
I'm lost, you're away
Before you go
I just want to tell you I know
That I've hardly been the most sinless of souls
A stable provider, achiever of goals
A competent builder of dreams
Can't you see
I know what you want me to be
The same partial prince who stood guard at your door
Who carried your shoes as we walked on the shore
Please won't you find me again
It's late, the taxi can wait
The train's in the station
The ship's in the harbor of dreams
Delay, the longer you stay
The more we're together
The likelier we'll start to heal
Just dream for a day
Before you go
I just want to tell you I know
That I've hardly been the most sinless of souls
A stable provider, achiever of goals
A competent builder of dreams
Can't you see
I know what you want me to be
The same partial prince who stood guard at your door
Who carried your shoes as we walked on the shore
Please won't you find me
Please won't you find me
Please won't you find me again

Colin, I am stunned. First that you even remembered my comment on the first video of this amazing self penner " Night" and secondly? The result redoing this pearl again. How great your song is, everything, lyrics, melody, performance, editing..it is unbelievable. I loved your song then and I even love it more now. This song deserves a big big audience. Congratulations Colin. Best wishes from NL Marjan 👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏🧡🧡

[@BarleyC]

Oh Marjan, I always remembered your kind comment on the original version! I deeply appreciated it as the song is special to me, and your positive reaction was always in the back of my mind as an encouragement to rework the song one day. So glad you like the new version!

[@MaybeMarjan]

@@BarleyC It is more then like it, I love it, I saved it to listen again and again. You are very talented. I hope you never lose courage to create new songs and play the guitar and sing with your lovely voice. It is meant to be. Night is a masterpiece. Take care Colin, be well. 🙏🧡🧡🦋

[@BarleyC]

@@MaybeMarjan Thank you so much, Marjan; that means a lot to me.
