Sharing this duet with Ryan Roberts of Nova Scotia, I wrote the bridge (“keeping our soul’s flame alive”) after I returned from singing with 30,000 people in Estonia – a nation known for having kept its identity and culture alive through song. But don’t songs do that for so many of us? (and that’s Jarrod Walker’s mando chop propelling this one forward)
lyrics
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows when I’m with you
Love flows, joy grows, blue skies, when I’m with you
We’re keeping our soul’s flame alive
Not letting go not letting love die
Not letting go not letting love die
Holding on with the breath of our song
With the breath of our song
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, when I’m with you
When I’m with you
