About The Song…
♪♪♪ This one is to my wife, to let her know how I feel. I wrote this before I met her; while I was looking for her you might say. However, the sentiments still remain true and she and my boys continue to change my life for the better…What an adventure!

Lyrics
And oh, there's been lost summers
And oh, there's been lost winters
These times I'd like to forget
‘Cos you weren't in the picture yet
And now my spirits are found
And all my dreams are crowned
Oh, what a sight to see your face in the light
And to know that you're here now
Oh, you changed my life
Oh, you changed my life
Oh, you changed my life
Keep me in your thoughts
And I'll know you're always there
We've all had mixed feelings
Know that I've had my mixed feelings
But the flash of love and all my dreams come true
Its prayers and patience that brought you
And now my spirits are found
And all my dreams are crowned
Oh, what a sight to see your face in the light
And to know that you're here now
When you changed my life...You did it...forever
When you changed my life...My soulmate, my lover
When you changed my life...You did it...forever
Keep me in your thoughts
And I'll know you’re always there
