about

I sent this song to a friend I was drifting from many years ago. It stayed in that “sent” folder since 2011 and no one else ever heard it. I decided to record it again and release it into the world so others could connect with it too.

The meaning has changed over the years as marriage and fatherhood have given the word “love” new significance in my life, but in any case, it is a song about the need to allow space for those you love to grow into who they want to be.

lyrics

Whatever happens from here
I hope you know how
Special you are, my dear

Everyone you know wants
Just a little more of your time
And here I am, lying to myself
Thinking you're mine

What matters most is love
What matters most is love

I know I'll have to let you go
There's so much for you out there
I know, I know
I just don't want to be forgotten when
You're miles up in the air

When your trip is over
And the plane has landed
I will be waiting there

What matters most is love
What matters most is love
Love

Whatever happens from here
I'll always love you, my dear
