Lyrics

Wait for me girl
I won't be away for very long
I'll do my tour
and then I'll be home
again with you.

Pray for me my love
there's danger where I go
we both know,
I'll keep you in my heart and my soul,
till I'm home again with you.

I'll dream of you every night
we'll fly high in those Astral Sky's

Sacrifice, time spent away
from loved ones,
to do a thing that so many
have done, so unselfishly

Instrumental

I'll dream of you every night
we'll fly high in those Astral Sky's

Missing you is all I do when I'm away
what gets me through
is the knowing that we
will be together again

Don't you worry baby
I'll be fine while I'm away
And I'll be thinking of you
and when I'll see you again
Oh Babe.

loving you in those Astral Sky's
repeats & fade...

Loving you in those Astral sky's
repeat & fade.

Good balance of voice and background Solid production

Very Touching Song

cool r&b vibe
great vocal & harmonies
sax work is excellent

This sure to find a home.....

The sax is MONEY. Smooth, clean, well played, nice tone, cool choices, all within that same sleepy soft-pop vibe. Hat's off on the arrangement. I like the change when it comes. Overall you've captured a cool mellow feeling here that reminds me a little of Michael Franks. The instrumentation is wonderful! Great job on this song. Hope you get it placed!

cant beat that could old simple be-bop good ear candy nice voice, like the break

I really enjoyed this song. The melody is pleasing to the ear the arrangement is unique and interesting. The hook is good the vocals nicely done. The instrumentation is excellent especially the sax. I can see this song in a film or TV great job!

Sounds ,like jazz and soul, from the 70's

Just Chillin with the Jazz
