Story Behind The Song
Met someone whose qualities struck a chord with me and in a period of my life when I was really suffering from the loss of my dad.
After "Eric" left one day, I wrote this song. It is really about my dad and the rock he was.

Lyrics
I WILL WATCH FOR YOU
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY GAYLA SMITH
YOU ARE THE SOFTEST WIND THAT?S BLOWING? THROUGH MY HAIR
YOU ARE THE VOICE THAT I CAN HEAR WHEN YOU?RE NOT THERE
AND WHEN MY BURDENS ARE SO HEAVY AND SO COLD
I WILL WATCH FOR YOU
YOU ARE THE LANTERN THAT WILL LEAD MY SHIP TO SHORE
WHEN IT?S SO DARK AND I AM FRIGHTENED TO THE CORE
AND WHEN NOBODY ELSE CAN HEAR ME WHEN I SPEAK
I WILL WATCH FOR YOU
BRIDGE:
TOUCH ME AND I TURN TO FIND YOU CALLING
YOUR WORDS LIKE SUMMER RAINDROPS ON MY FACE
COULD I FIND A STRONGER HEART WHEN I AM FALLING
WHEN I KNOW I?LL LIVE AND DIE IN THIS EMBRACE
YOU ARE MY BRIGHTEST STAR OUTSHINING ALL THE OTHERS
AND MY CONNECTION WITH YOUR LIGHT IS WITHOUT END
SO WHEN THE GALAXY IS TIRED AND GROWING DIMMER
I WILL WATCH FOR YOU
