This is a song Chris and I wrote and I performed with Travis at Chris and Lizzie's wedding.
Chris wrote the lyrics and worked up a melody, I took that and expanded upon it and worked up some chords to go around it. I wrote chords and a melody for a bridge, and then Chris wrote lyrics for that part, as well. Travis added some sweet bells, and with luck we'll record a version of this soon.
Update: Recording in progress after Megan and I stopped by to visit Travis in Ithaca! Recording will feature Megan on lovely backing vox!
