Story Behind The Song

On Valentine's Day 2011 I decided to write a romantic song for my wife Inez with whom I've been married for 37 years.

Song Description

This instrumental duo version of this sexy song, inspired by the Al Green romantic soul songs of the late 60's and early 70's, features internationally known touring virtuoso harmonica soloist Tom Stryker and saxophonist Dewey Dorough who holds five gold and one platinum record and a CMA for his work as a saxophonist with bands including James Brown, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys and many others. It is a musical metaphor for two distinct personalities, one passionate and bold and the other rock solid and dependable, represent the ups and downs and in and outs of a relationship musically.

Lyrics

This is an instrumental but here are the vocal lyrics:


Soulmate - Dedicated to my wife, Inez Edwards 2/14/2011 Happy Valentine's Day.

Verse 1
The first time I saw you;
Was like we'd met before.
We met in a dream, perhaps,
Or on some distant shore?

Verse 2
We talked all night long.
Gazed into each other's eyes.
We dreamed together on and on.
And then we realized...

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Verse 3
Together life is so beautiful.
It's nothing less than fate.
You fill my very soul.
I'm complete with my mate.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Bridge:
I know it sounds crazy.
I know it sounds insane.
It's something unbelievable.
It's something we can't explain.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.

Bridge 2
Soul mates.
Soul mates.

Instrumental
Soul mates.
Soul mates.

Verse 4
I know we'll always be together .
Walking through the world hand in hand.
You are my woman.
I will always be your man.

Chorus
We are soul mates. Soul mates.
I was yours before this lifetime,
Our souls are entwined by fate.
You and I; soul mates.
