Words Of Love

Chapter 3 - Recording A Duet

When I wonder where I am
When I wonder why I take these chances
I try to breathe
I say to me, "believe"
And whatever comes, it's okay

'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm further every day
I'm on my way
I know it might take until forever
But everything could change today
So I'm on my way
To find that place

People say that I'm naive
'Cause I'm trusting and my heart is open
But I won't hide
I'm here to find who I am
And whatever comes is what's right

'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm further every day
I'm on my way
I know it might take until forever
But everything could change today
So I'm on my way
To find that place

I'll keep dreamin'
Til I get there
I'll be free
So goodbye to yesterday
I'm giving what it takes

'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm on my way
It could take forever
It could change today
'Cause I'm on my way
To find that place

I'm on my way

We applauded for Amanda after she finished singing. She turned around and saw us standing behind her. "Oh! Hey, boys!" She said. "How long ago did you write that one?" I asked. "I wrote it a few weeks ago. I just never had time to record it though." Said Amanda. "It sounded very good, though." Ringo said. "Thanks, Ringo. So, Paul, are you ready for our duet?" Amanda asked. "I was born ready!" I said. So I grabbed a pair of headphones as Amanda and I got ready to record our duet.

Paul: Look at the sky tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes and describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes

Amanda: I see the heavens each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles
And suddenly I know why life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes

Both: That's what I see through your eyes
Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
Its out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise, looking through your eyes

I see a night I wish could last forever
I see a world we're meant to see together
And it is so much more than I remember

Paul: More than I remember

Amanda: More than I have known

Both: Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
Its out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise, looking through your eyes

Looking through your eyes

John, George, and Ringo applauded for us after we finished. "That was very well written!" Said George. "You two should definitely perform that song live someday!" Said John. "That's not a bad idea." Said Amanda.

Amanda's P.O.V.

I drove home from the studio a little while later and found my dad and Chloe watering the flowers. They turned in my direction after they heard my car door slam. "Welcome home, Amanda! I hope you had a pleasant day in the studio!" Said my dad. "Very pleasant, thank you." I said. "Did you record anything new today?" Asked Chloe. "I'm glad you asked. Paul and I recorded a duet!" I said. "A duet?" My dad asked. "Indeed. We wrote the song last night when Paul came over." I said. "Sweet!" Chloe said.

After talking about my day, I helped my dad and Chloe take care of the plants. Minutes later, I heard the phone ring from inside. I ran in to pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Amanda?" The voice said. "Yeah, who's this?" I asked. "It's Paul." Said the voice. "Oh! Hi, Paul! What's going on?" I asked. "Are you busy tonight?" Asked Paul. "No, why?" I asked. "Well, I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go out with me later." Paul said. "I'd love to. Where would you like to go?" I asked. "How does a late night walk in the park sound?" Asked Paul. "Sounds romantic!" I said. "Great! I'll pick you up at 7:30." Paul said. "You got it, Paulie!" I said. "Alright, love. I'll see you later." Said Paul. "Later." I said. I hung up the phone and headed back outside to my dad and Chloe.

"Who was that, honey?" Asked my dad. "It was Paul. He wants to take me out later tonight." I said. "On a date?" Asked Chloe. "Not necessarily. We're just gonna go for a walk in the park." I said. "Ah, young love! You know, when your mother and I were dating, we used to go for walks all the time." My dad said. "I miss her." I said. "I do too." Chloe said. "So do I. But at least she'll always be with us in here." Said my dad as he puts his hand on his chest. I nod at his words.

A little while later, I change into some fresh, clean clothes for when Paul and I go out later. I then sat on my bed and picked up my sketchbook to do some drawing for the time being.

Here are the two songs that were used for this chapter...

I'm On My Way by Sara Niemietz:

Looking Through Your Eyes by Bryan White & Andrea Corr:

Both songs may not have been around in the 60's, but let's pretend they are for the purpose of this story. ~ Amanda
