In this zip-file are three acappellas.Two original lyrics (which have harmony parts added).
The third is an over-the-top Romantic paean by Cherry Gollogoly.

1. Days & Nights (Vincent’s Song)-
original lyric - a song inspired by St. Remy, Provence and artist Vincent Van Gogh. Has one, two and three part harmonies.
Lyrics:
In Ancient fields of old
The golden sun I hold
And the olive trees are bowers
And the blue cloth sky
birds that fly so high
Come to rest on beds of flowers.
There is time for love
time to rise above
All those taciturn marauders
Leave the sad cafe
For some other day
And the darkened book of hours.
days and nights
nights and days……….
Let the world stand still
let us drink our fill
Of the passing moments shelter
twill be soon enough
We meet with rebuff
But for now its pleasant weather.
days and nights
nights and days……
The two sides of Fate
arrive early and leave late
As the river flows ever onward
But for now in Grace
Let’s enjoy this place
If but for a single hour.
As the colors blend
mix and merge as one
days and nights upon a canvas
hung upon a wall
framed as dreams are framed
where no fears can ever trespass.
days and nights
nights and days…….

#2. Sense Of Place (That’s All She Wrote)- one and two part harmonies.

and #3: Timeless (Lyrics by Cherry Gollogoly)-

Every time I come back to this town
and find those faces yet unchanged
marked by memories worn like masks
some of joy and some of pain
and you among your books and paintings
your doors and shutters open wide
your garden wet with dew and roses
your arms which beckon me inside

Those stories that we read as children
wherein a knight seeks a holy grail
and marvelous works of golden magic
we thought we’d never fail

So bear my dreams
with a light touch
and hold my heart in your dreams too
I’d give up everything I searched for
this timeless love to share a-new.

and you among your books and paintings
your doors and shutters open wide
your garden wet with dew and roses
your arms which beckon me inside.

So bear my dreams
with a light touch
and hold my heart in your dreams too
I’d give up everything I searched for
this timeless love to share a-new.
