https://soundcloud.com/tonycliffsongs/lets-face-itThis one is a ballad from the album 'Waiting in the Wings' and Donna sent me the lyric first and I set it to a song. The BIAB tracks included are listed at the end. I played Garritan CFX grand piano and also played the acoustic guitar short instrumental. Drums were Superior Drummer and Bass was Spectrasonics Trilian. The cello was very nice from BIAB and I also played in some strings but can't remember which product. Here is Donna's lyric:
Let’s Face It
(Lyric © Donna Evans and Music © Tony Cliff 2018)
Verse 1
Your eyes used to melt into mine
Your kiss tasted like cherry wine
Used to stay up and talk all night
You were the highlight of my life
Seems our huggin’ days are through
Lately something’s shadowing you
More often you’re angry sometimes sad
You say it’s all good but it feels so bad
Chorus
The way we were’s an old refrain
It just happens no one’s to blame
So if our love has come and gone
Tell me now let me move on
Tell me it’s over let’s face it
If it’s over let’s face it
Verse 2
Let’s talk about it decide what to do
Don’t beat around it tell the truth
Be honest don’t tell me lies
Babe you know I can sympathise
Part of me wants to hold on
Wanted you to be my forever one
It’s a hard break that I can handle
Wanna’ manage collateral damage
Chorus
Bridge
The smile’s gone from your happy face
Take a good look in the mirror
Cry a few tears until you’re clear
There’s another love out there waiting
Chorus

It is so gentle and pristine, and your vocals sound pristine and heartfelt. The backing tracks compliment your voice perfectly as well. It reminds me a bit of really early Bee-Gees (pre-disco era). The chorus is nicely catchy too.
