Moon To The Sea

Well here I am again after only a week! Thank you my followers who wrote such lovely positive messages on my last post. I have tried to catch up with your blogs but I missed you I'll hopefully catch you on the next round.

I have been taking singing lessons for the last 6 months with an amazing singing teacher. She is a professional singer and she also writes and performs her own songs.

Anita has not only been helping me with my singing techniques, I can hear her now 'open throat', but she has also helped me with slight changes to some of my best songs.

Lea has recorded a few of these for me and has uploaded one on to You Tube. I showed Anita at Saturday's singing lesson and she gave me the thumbs up for singing mostly with an open throat. Hope you like my new revamped version of 'Moon to the Sea'. Click the link below the lyrics to have a listen!

As The Moon To The Sea

You are a jewel a sparkling fire

Cannot resist to stand and admire

I gaze on your beauty...shall never tire

Serenading sweetly as a bird on a wire
 

Your gentle touch...love you so much

Bring peace to my soul...inner voices hush

Just being with you...helps the days through

Everything's possible...all I can do
 

                                                                         Chorus
                                                       l could search a thousand years
                                                         Look high, low, far and near
                                                     You are to me as the moon to the sea
                                              I'm nothing without you...but sad and lonely


                                                         Burns inside a constant desire
                                            Your very presence lifts me higher and higher
                                                     Life is good...am out of the woods
                                              Would have it not any other way if I could


                                                                         Chorus
                                                         l could search a thousand years
                                                           Look high, low, far and near
                                                    You are to me as the moon to the sea
                                             I'm nothing without you...but sad and lonely

               
                                                                         Bridge
                                                           My heart is filled with joy
                                                          Each day I spend with you
                                                            No-one other than you
                                                         Makes me feel the way I do


                                                                           Chorus
                                                        l could search a thousand years
                                                          Look high, low, far and near
                                                    You are to me as the moon to the sea
                                              I'm nothing without you...but sad and lonely
                                              I'm nothing without you...but sad and lonely

Surf, sea and sand

With the ending of day light saving and the appearance of dark clouds, wind and rain, I look back to the summer as it passes and fades almost into a distant memory.

I really enjoyed getting out on my bike, often morning and night. Now it is getting dark by 6 pm and making the daily cycle more of a challenge.

Not really being able to run has given me a reason to take the cycling more seriously and I have had many races over the summer. I'm finding I'm getting stronger and faster on the hills and on the flat. Yesterday I rode in the Wellington Road Championships over 75 hilly km's [48 miles] and finished 3rd in my age group. On the flatter parts of the course we reached speeds of over 50 kph [32 mph]. It is exciting to have new challenges and encouraging to see the improvement I'm making under my coach, Bob. He says that in another year I should be extremely competitive at the rate I'm going in my training and racing.

Thought I'd leave you with some photos from the summer days at the beach. It was lovely soaking up the warm rays and cooling off in the refreshing surf.

Can't get me
 

Who you trying to kid?
 

Kapiti Coast

Off to catch a wave??

Hope my followers are fit and well and I'm looking forward to catching up with their latest news. Hope you haven't given up on me.

It's good to be back! With the school holidays coming up I hope to have more time and photo opportunities to grace you with my company again soon. NO PROMISES!
