Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song during the "social distancing" period of the Covid 19 pandemic. Feeling cut off from friends and family, I was looking forward to the day we could all be together again. I had written the music and one verse and chorus. At that point I enlisted my wife Nancy to help complete the lyrics and add vocals to the music.

Lyrics
Together Again
©2020 by Anthony Benson & Nancy Benson
It's been so hard for me
To be so far away
Will you remember the smile on my face?
The feel our friendly embrace
Feels like it's been so long
Since we stayed out all night
Dinner and music, a glass of red wine
A toast with some good friends of mine
Soon the day will come
And we'll be together again
Tears of joy will fall
And we'll laugh, and we'll sing
When we're together again
Can't stop thinking of when
Plans were made on a whim
Missing the times we could dance hand in hand
Singing along with the band
Soon the day will come
And we'll be together again
Tears of joy will fall
And we'll laugh, and we'll sing
When we're together again
It won't be long
We'll gather together again
It won't be long
'till we are together again
In these uncertain times
It's easy to feel all alone
I'm keeping the faith when I lay down at night
Knowing that we'll be alright
Soon the day will come
And we'll be together again
Tears of joy will fall
And we'll laugh, and we'll sing
When we're together again
(2X)
We'll be together again
