HIGHLAND GIRL 03/12/2016


LOOKING BACK ON HOW WE MET
ITS A NIGHT ILL NEVER FOREGT
TOSS OF A COIN AND I HELD MY BREATH
AS YOU WALKED IN THE ROOM

GUESS I KNEW RIGHT THERE RIGHT THEN
ID NEVER LET YOU GO AGAIN
BUT THE NIGHT WOULD COME TO AN END
WE SAID GOODBYE TO SOON

OH OH MY HIGHLAND GIRL
BORN TO THE HEATHER
AND THE SOUND OF A DIFFERENT WORLD
FROM BERNERAY TO ROMAY BAY
YOU MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
OH HIGHLAND GIRL I LOVE YOU

REMEMBER HOW THE TIME FLEW BY
YOU WAVED TO ME AS I SAILED TO SKYE
I SAW THOSE TEARS IN YOUR EYES
AND I SWORE ID BE BACK SOON

NOW THOSE DAYS SEEM SO LONG AGO
AND THAT WEDDING BAND TELLS ME SO
AND EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT HOW I FEEL FOR YOU

OH OH MY HIGHLAND GIRL
BORN TO THE HEATHER
AND THE SOUND OF A DIFFERENT WORLD
FROM BERNERAY TO ROMAY BAY
YOU MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
OH HIGHLAND GIRL I LOVE YOU

TWO LITTLES CAME ALONG
AND WE TOOK THEM BACK TO THE ISLES
WERE FAMILY LIVE IN HAPPINESS
ALONG GODS GOLDEN MILES


hope you enjoy

Brad,
Very enjoyable - especially your vocals.I also enjoyed picturing the song sung to the anniversary couple in the location you describe ( sandwiched between a few celtic tunes?).
Nice work.

Hi Biglad!

I haven't been active on this forum in a while, so this is the first song I've heard from you! I like the way you've assembled and mixed the song, and the lyrics are certainly compelling. I can't help but think it would have worked as a Celtic song too.

I like your telecaster, by the way!
