about

Very much in the style of John Denver. The young woman this is written for is pretty darn cool.

lyrics

She is the ember that becomes the fire,
You will remember every heart's desire
When you look into her eyes and take her hand....

Away up in the west lands, twixt the mountains and the sea,
Where the land itself is magic, so they say,
There's a little place called Mapleshire, as lovely as you'll see,
Where the fairies, elves, and pixies holiday.

Up there you'll find a lady, whose smile outshines the sun,
Who did her best but never could fit in,
Until she left the city for a place her heart could run,
Took a look around and knew her real life had begun.

Leeann (She is the ember that becomes the fire)
Leeann (You will remember every heart's desire)
Leeann (When you look into her eyes and take her hand...)
Leeann.

She wanders through the forest, on the edges of a dream,
Where what's real makes room for what is fantasy,
She can close her eyes and hear the sighs of every brook and stream,
She can feel the life in every flower and tree.

And then the forest echoes with her stories and her songs,
The legends that she carries in her heart,
And everything around her hears her voice so clear and strong,
As she conjures with the magic that she's known her whole life long

Leeann (She is the ember that becomes the fire)
Leeann (You will remember every heart's desire)
Leeann (When you look into her eyes and take her hand...)
Leeann.

She can hold a baby animal a trembling in her hand,
And nurture it and raise it till it's strong enough to stand,
Her family and friends are there to catch her should she fall,
But even when she stumbles, still she's walking tall.

So many things she's done so far, so many yet to do,
So many ways her work seems more like play,
She never has to worry that her dreams may not come true,
For she makes them happen every single day.

So many tales within her, her music, art, and more,
just waiting to be shared with all she can,
With only nineteen summers, with all that's gone before,
I tell you, we can't wait to see what else she's got in store --

Leeann (She is the ember that becomes the fire)
Leeann (You will remember every heart's desire)
Leeann (When you look into her eyes and when you take her by the hand)
Leeann (Every day's a new surprise, with so much more to understand)

Leeann (She is the ember that becomes the fire)
Leeann (You will remember every heart's desire)
Leeann (When you look into her eyes and take her hand...)
Leeann.
