Lyrics
The complete lyrics of the song are not really required for the session only the backing vocal elements. I have not Included the ooh's and Aah's. We will be recording this many times with different harmony's with clapping and without. The more takes I have the better as I t will give me more choice to edit.
Saw me fly
Held a child
The tears from your eyes
Waiting for the last time - rpt
