Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when my daughter left for college. There is sadness but also a sense of completion and renewed committment to marriage, possibly a rediscovery or reinvention of ones relationship to a lifelong partner following the empty nest.

Lyrics
Soft Against My Love
www.allegash.com
Verse 1
Been a long day I?m weary through
I wish sometimes the old was new
How do the years fly by
Blink of an eye don?t cry cause I?m
Verse 2
Hard times we had to take it
Times we smiled to fake it
Troubles I could not forsee
But she was there to help me be
Verse 3
Our children grow older now
Our little girl college bound
Her laughter far away
We?ll staqy we?ll be ok
Chorus
Soft against my love tonight
Big old moon not a storm in sight
She sleeps now she dreams
Soft against my love tonight
