The song:

WIN YOUR HEART

i did my best to win your heart
i was determined that you'd fall hard
i must have done something right somehow
you're here with me now
but don't think my efforts will ever ease up
i'll never stop making you fall in love
   
   you say you'll be mine 'til the end of time
   i can't take the chance you'd ever change your mind
   so every single day you'll find a fresh rose waiting
   or love notes on the seat of your car
   every single day... i'll try to win your heart

what does it take to make love last
do i need a magic spell to cast
is there a mountain i should climb
or some key to find
whatever it is you can bet i'll get it
you're my whole world, i won't let you forget it
   
   you say you'll be mine 'til the end of time
   i can't take the chance you'd ever change your mind
   so every single day you'll find a fresh rose waiting
   or love notes on the seat of your car
   every single day... i'll try to win your heart

when you find the one you want to hold forever
spend forever holding on
   
   you say you'll be mine 'til the end of time
   i can't take the chance you'd ever change your mind
   so every single day you'll find a fresh rose waiting
   or love notes on the seat of your car
   every single day... i'll try to win your heart




Janice, THANK YOU!!!
Bud - thanks for recording AND processing Janice's vocal!!

Thanks to all that give a listen.
Have at it.

I LOVE THAT!!! What a great way to end a chorus-lyrically and melodically so full of impact. This is such a positive, feelgood song. I always enjoy this kind of duet and this one does it right. The melody just takes off at the beginning of the chorus and the harmonies are so sweet. And, of course, Janice nails her part. This is simply a GREAT song!! Well done guys!! Take care. Greg

Floyd & Janice,
Lots of skill in that one - beautiful phrasing and harmonizing - you make it sound so easy.
Great mix with a really professional sound, you sound like you're in the same room singing(Janice nicely recorded by Bud), good set of lyrics and strong catchy chorus melody.
Very nice indeed.

Hi Janice & Floyd.

Great song, Floyd, with everything working together, just as it should. Perfect.

Janice, what can I say? When you sing in that register it gives me goosebumps.

A fabulous performance, you two - just SO professional throughout.

Must listen again...

Floyd & Janice,
Your voices sound so good together (I had to read the intro again to see that you weren`t in the same room together).
Making this very good song a duet raises it to another level- I`m curious if you wrote it with that in mind?
A highly professional production throughout as usual.

Floyd, Janice, Bud

Well this team just keeps delivering.

What a great arrangement, with matching excellent lyrics.

There is no doubt about the formula, you've got another 'Winner' with Win Your Heart.

Torrey - glad you enjoyed this... when you are in pitching situations (back when that existed), "positive, upbeat love songs" is pretty much all they are/were looking for...

Hi Floyd and Janice,

A song with a commercial potential grin
This shows in the song structure, the bridge, and especially the choruses, which sound like typical commercial pop country.
And by "commercial" we mean GOOD!

Floyd and Janice,

What a great uplifting duet. Your voices blend so perfectly together.
Bud also did a great job on Janice's vocal.

All rounded off with a perfectly recorded RT band. Especially love the solid drum sound.
What's not to love about this.

Excellent work,
Jez
