Week 4 - "I Often Think of You"

Lyrics:

I often think of you, my dear.

Although it's been so many years.

I think of what we used to say.

Until I had to go away.

I miss the things we used to do.

Back when I was in love with you.

I'll always have the memory

Of all the things you meant to me.

But you and I had not forseen

That time and space would come between.

I said some things I didn't mean.

The words I spoke were unfair.

I'm sad it had to end there.

Please know that I will always care for you.

I won't forget your smiling face

I won't forget your warm embrace.

I'm sad, the way it had to end.

I wish I'd been a better friend.

I decided to record this one with just piano and vocals to give it a more intimate feel.  I also didn't put any reverb on the vocals to make it sound "true" (in an emotional sense).  I did add reverb to the vocals in the refrain to add intensity to the rising emotion there.
