Story Behind The Song

This song was initially a poem written by K S Naumann which I (Suzie Bee)converted to a song and set to music. K S Naumann wrote this poem based on her true feelings at a certain point in time. Every word is authentic and totally reflects her mood at the time she wrote it. I instantly fell in love with the words, the honesty, the openness, the sincerity and depth of emotion conveyed. I felt completely compelled to set these words to music and the melody and arrangement you now hear in this song are the result. Instruments include the piano, the acoustic guitar, the Spanish guitar, the strings, mellow bell pad, percussion, vocals including some harmonies.

Song Description

A gentle ballad that gradually builds up vocally and instrumentally. It possesses a "lullaby" quality and contains beautiful acoustic/Spanish guitar instrumental solo sections with strings and piano. There are also vocal harmonies in the latter part of the song.

Lyrics

FOREVER A BELIEVER

A rhyme to rhyme with a reason
The reason to rhyme with a dream
A dream to bring happiness from heavne
An answer to a heavenly scheme

Misfortune seems to follow
Following too closely at times
A time of heartache and sadness
The sadness of losing my finds

A pilgrim from insecure to righteousness
A journey of many years
The heartache of loving the unlovable
Drowning in my sea of tears

Foregoing the advice of others
Learning from every mistake
I must have learned some lessons
and now I dream more while awake

Wiser, yet still a believer
Believing some day I'll find
Someone to share my life with
A life with mine to combine

A rhyme to rhyme with the reason
The reason to rhyme with a dream
A dream to bring happiness from heaven
An answer to a heavenly scheme

Wiser, yet still a believer
Believing some day I'll find
Someone to share my life with
A life with mine to combine
