Lyrics

Honeysuckle, yellow and white
Make my heart so cheerful and light
Blooming where you?re planted
Our forest is enchanted.

Honeysuckle, butter and cream
Your fragrance finds me lost in a dream
Twirling in the sunny
Drinking in your honey.

CHORUS: How could a woman fall in love with a bloom?
I will find a place for a vase in every room.
Honey, honey, honey, honey honey, honey, honey.

Honeysuckle, if I were a bee
I?d work at your place from seven to three
And buzz round for hours
Foraging your flowers.

Honeysuckle, bridal bouquet
Let?s pretend it?s our wedding day
And we don?t need a florist
We?ll gather from the forest. (sing chorus)

Honeysuckle, blessing our home
Vines entwined now, never to roam
Growing in our greenness
Increasing in our sweetness

Honeysuckle, cling to the tree
God is so much stronger than me.
I love your gentle power
In the glory of the flower (sing chorus)

Honeysuckle, between you and me
Honeysuckle, I wanna be sweet
Honeysuckle, cling to the Tree, cling to the Tree, cling to the Tree

Will we hear anything like this on the more popular airwaves these days? Let's put it this way: it's a horrible shame there isn't because we need more sweet songs like this to soften the hearts of society! Now onto the song...I enjoy the violins and the plucking of harps. This is a charming lilting melody with lyrics to match, the kind that Claudia Schmidt might record. Lyrically it plays with words about nature and weaves them into a relationship about love in the same lilting way. Nicely done!

Absolutely beautiful song with a fantastical European folk influence. I could easily hear this song in a movie like "Chronicles of Narnia" or even "Maleficent."

This sounds like a throwback to the magic folk era of the 60's.

Sweet and polished number.

I saw a pitch for a song like this recently, about flowers and sunshine. Good job.

Very light and pleasant to listen to.
Nice touches in the mix.
I will definitely have a listen to more of your music.

What a lovely song! Simply delicious........... Sweet, easy voices. Music and voices that together produce a silvery sound. Love the fiddle, it is used creatively and to great effect here. I hope this song gets heard far beyond here. The lyrics, through no fault of the song, I can not hear clearly, alas, but the idea of the clinging honeysuckle fits the music, and I gathered there was a memory of a special time in the song.

Great vocals and harmonies. Nice instrumentation. Good lyrics. I like the violin.

I like the vocals. Very clear and great harmony. This reminds me of something Judy Collins would sing. I like the way "honeysuckle" is the link to everything. I the single note articulation at the end of a line (harp?). I think this song tells a great human story as well. Don't know how original the subject is (same goes for my own music), but it is very well-done. I like this kind of song.

Great instrumentation! Nice happy tune. Takes me to the country!
