Great storytelling, lovely details and descriptions. The way you (both) sing "to have your life, part of mine?" is especially beautiful. Such a relaxed and peaceful picture.

Hi Suzy, really nice and interesting to hear your style from a few years back. It does sound quite a bit more mainstream for you, but there are hints are what was to come with the densely written lyrics and the double vocal technique. I think it suited you, that more stripped back and chilled out mode. It's a lovely song for Valentine's, very wistful and charming. I enjoyed it very much  ;)
thanks Michael, much appreciated. glad you found it charming an wistful. I did write a lot of songs that were quite mainstream when I first started out. It wasn't till I discovered how I could produce songs in garage band with so many other instruments that launched my rather unconventional song writing career. Lol!

Hi Suzy,
Shades of "Summer The First Time" by Bobby Goldsboro. This is more conventional than your later songs but there is nothing wrong with that. I like the interplay between the two lead voices - almost Sony & Cher-like or perhaps the Mama & The Papas. In fact the whole thing has a late 60's summer of love feel to it particularly the flute part. A lovely confection of a song.

Awesome tune, and wonderful harmonic work!
It's been said already but a real feel of the 60's/70's folk here.
At first I kinda felt Joni Mitchell but to be honest, on second and third listen it is far more CSN&Y.

I have nothing to say in regards to improving on this, to be honest. It's a very well constructed and executed piece. If I was to do anything to it I would add a very gentle flute. I feel the voicing of a flute would blend beautifully with the harmonies. But that's about the only thing I would add, and it's perfect without it.

Love it!
thanks so much for your lovely comments DCJ. CSN&Y...thanks! I like the idea of adding a flute to blend with the voices.

I don't think I can add to what's already been said (nice vocals, nice laid-back style, good structure, etc). Liked it very much.

Suzy,
Like the honest stripped back feel of this, lyrically and just how the whole thing feels.
With a lovely easy going, hippy vibe. Love the flat flute solo too.
With Do do do do do's, sound Fx and stuff!
