The newspapers are spinning towards the camera… it’s January 2018. And the headline says ‘Andy finally meets soulmate!’ This is a love song for Philippa who I met in summer 2017.
We haven’t looked back.

THE STUFF OF DREAMS
There’s a girl sitting next to me
And she’s all the things that I hoped she’d be
And I’m feeling this electricity
When her hand reaches out and she touches me
Everyone else has disappeared
But despite this crowd it’s like the room has cleared
'Cause you’re the only face that I can see
Like we’ve known each other well for all eternity
CHORUS
And I’ll see you soon
There’s no need to think it through
We’ve got all afternoon
Confirming what we both knew
That the Fates have been working overtime
Or so it seems
This is the stuff of dreams
So light the lights let the fireworks fly
Things are looking up now we’re aiming high
And the signs all say there’s nothing left to fear
And there’s no more looking back now the road is clear
CHORUS
You lie quietly
Drifting off to me
Reading from my diary
Frightening tales
From my time lost at sea
Fighting beasts and drowning in my sorrows!
So light the lights let the fireworks fly
Things are looking up now we’re aiming high
And the signs all say there’s nothing left to fear
And there’s no more looking back now the road is clear
CHORUS
