You know what time it is right now. Oh, I know what time it is.
It is time for live in the
later. Wow. Milwaukee's Joe Richter began his musical career in
early 2000s, establishing himself as a solo acoustic performer in the Milwaukee
scene. A lover of playing peace side covers. Joe can also be found playing with
his own music with his own band of Milwaukee All Stars this Wednesday,
February 14th at the civic media theater.
The civic theater. That's Tommy. We'll have one of those soon here to perform
with us live in the layer presented by the Aaron Weber group is Joe Richter.
Joe, welcome to Maxine Gradio. Thank you very much.
I'm very, very happy to be here. We are thrilled that you are here.
Okay. So what part of Southeast Wisconsin? Do you call home?
So I live in a little town called New Berlin. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So you guys are familiar with that? Absolutely. So, uh, but I've kind of been
everywhere. So I've been in Milwaukee, West Dallas, Muskego, New Berlin.
I am a Muskego High School alumni. But, uh, so, so New Berlin's home for me
right now. Yeah. But, but, you know, if I'm on a big radio show like this,
I'm calling it Milwaukee. Oh, that's a good one.
Well, you know, I got a couple little ones. So we don't get out much anymore.
But, um, if you, there's quite a bit, I guess, uh, I, I think of a restaurant
called La Reva. And that's in Wawatosa is Milwaukee County, phenomenal food.
Uh, a place called adduck in Milwaukee. Unbelievably, these, these restaurants
are incredible. Um, and then can't go wrong with cops custard.
Oh, I love that place. It's absolutely the best. And the custard is, you can't
go wrong with it. Oh, man. Yeah. So let's, let's go with cops. Okay. Yes.
We're in. I love that answer. All right. Uh, yes. Do you, I, I want to ask them
about a secret though. Is there a secret about Milwaukee or anything in that area
that you know that maybe no one else knows? I could also say cops because that is
a secret. But, um, I don't know. I think it's true. It's, the Milwaukee is a great,
it's a great restaurant scene. It's a great coffee scene. So we got phenomenal
coffee shops in Milwaukee, um, to name a few Anadine, uh, Stone Creek, uh, both
just top notch. And then, um, the music community is really good too. You know,
if you're, if you're a musician, let's say you're a musician, you're looking to
relocate to Milwaukee. You can have success in, in an original music level. I don't
know, but, but as a, but as an, a cover artist, you can really have some success. So, uh,
you know, it's probably other ones right now, but I know we're on, uh, we're on the
time schedule. Sadly, you only get an hour. It's funny. It's funny because here in
Madison, it's exactly the opposite, right? You probably can't make any money in a
cover. Right. But exactly something is an original man. Exactly. Okay. Joe, for people
who may be, I can't believe it. Don't know who you are. Give us a little backstory.
I mean, I've been at it long enough. Oh, I know. I know. And then tell us how did you
decide to get started in music? So give us a little backstory. Well, look, as far back as I can
remember, music has always had a special place in my heart. So I, I knew I wanted to
be a performer very early on. Um, and my, my parents will both tell you that because I,
not only did I love to sing, but I also love to just be an entertainer, be a performer,
even if it was just the family in the room. I had to perform. Um, but I first picked up the piano
when I was about eight years old. And, uh, I saw Billy Joel and I guess that kind of sparked it
for me where I was like, I just want to do that. And since I saw him, uh, at the Bradley Center,
and I believe it was 92 at the River River of Dreams tour, it really sparked something in me.
I want to do that, you know, and that's when I started to play. And, uh, just as the years went on,
I, uh, I just enjoyed playing and I, and I, I discovered that my, probably my strongest
instrument was my voice. So I, I really wanted to sing. And I, and so I wanted to learn an instrument.
So I learned piano and later on I learned guitar and began writing songs when I was about 16 years old.
And, um, since then is, I just, I knew I wanted to, to perform.
Well, we're glad you do. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like he just nailed all the questions that I had.
I mean, you did. That was great though. Uh, what role did your parents play in your musical
upbringing? Uh, did they play music or, or like, you know, was there anything there?
Did they support your music career? Did they make you take piano lessons?
Actually, actually, no, I never, I took one piano lesson. And that was when I was about
16 or 17 years old. Oh, wow. One of the, uh, teachers at, um, I think it was
the noon, uh, elementary school. I performed piano man at one of the, the talent shows.
Oh, hi. And she's like, uh, you are, you are very good. I need to teach you.
So my mom was like, yeah, let's, let's do a lesson. And I did a lesson and her technique
was completely different than my technique that I already had. That was for myself.
Second time we've heard this. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. So I decided I didn't want to do it because it
was going to screw me up. Now I look back. That was probably about, I don't know, 30, no, 20 years
ago, 25, no, probably 30 years ago. Um, and I looked back and I said, you know, darn it,
I wish I would have stuck with it, you know, because she, she probably would have taught me a lot
of nice things. But, you know, I can't, I can't complain. I can't complain. So because you're
pretty terrific. Yeah. Yeah. Well, my parents, you know, they were, uh, yeah, sure I am.
Come on. But, uh, you know, parents were great. You know, they were supportive and, uh, none of them
really ever played an instrument. It was kind of a, um, you know, it was a thing that I just,
like I said, I just loved music and it, for me, it was just a special thing. It was really special
to me and I just stuck with it, you know, and, and, and, and, and, and I'm just grateful for that,
you know, well, we've found that there are times you'll play cover songs, you know, in perfect
places, of course, usually bars or a coffee shop, but it's not always the popular songs.
Everyone will want to hear. Yeah. Do you take requests or tell us a little bit about why you
love to do the B side songs? I mean, yeah, I always take requests. That's the, probably the, the,
the, uh, the biggest question that, that I get when I'm playing shows, do you take requests?
And I always say, of course, I welcome requests. Um, I can't guarantee I'm going to know it,
you know, I'm certainly not a human jukebox. Uh, something like, uh, a lot of these other solo
guys are in Milwaukee who really know tons of songs. Uh, but I know a lot of songs, but I don't know,
you know, the real popular ones, I feel like I should always know more considering I play, you
know, two instruments, piano and guitar. Right. Um, but I do like, uh, the variety of the list, uh,
that I perform because you're not usually going to see a guy playing both the piano and the guitar,
uh, you know, so a guy that can do like, for example, uh, an eagle song and then you can hop in
the piano and play, you know, missing you by John Wait. You know, I don't think you're going to
hear that a lot. And I think that's kind of neat. Uh, and, uh, I'm just, I'm glad I get to do it
and enjoy doing that. Wow. Well, let's get to some live music here in the air with your
Richter presented by the Aaron Weber group. I still have a question for you. Oh, please.
The first song you have for us tonight, it's called No Fairytale. Yeah. Unrelease. Tell us about
this song before you play. Is this, is this a song about the truth? Absolutely. I think I,
I do write a lot of love songs and we'll probably get into that a little bit later, but because I
got the love show coming up on Wednesday, um, but this song, it's, it's, it's, I think it's
a song about, uh, romantic relationship in that, you know, not every, uh, loving relationship
is going to be a fairytale. There's going to be your ups and downs, your ebbs and flows of a
loving romantic relationship. And I think it's important for both parties to understand that and
know that. And the song kind of talks about that. So okay. Yeah. Here we go. Joe Richter, no fairytale
right here on Maxing Gradio. We are local music live in the layer. Yes.
You know, that you're proud behind our love. Take me in your arms, but don't let go.
Don't let me go.
Maybe we've been doing this a long time. Now if this fussing and fighting was taking away my
love, I want to hold your name. I want to touch your face. I want to kiss you just like in the
olden days. In the olden days. In the olden days. Yeah. Love and pride on us. You keep us
smiling. Our times sneak up on those who do the right. Love is no fairytale. No fairytale.
Let's tell the war between strong love and society. Come join in so we can rise above the sea.
I love his coal as his stone. Now it's hot as the sun. Now passionate love is only just begun.
It's only just begun. It's only just begun. Yeah. Love is pride on us. You keep us smiling.
Our times sneak up on those who do the right. Love is no fairytale. No fairytale.
Love is no fairytale. No fairytale. No fairytale. No fairytale. No fairytale.
We have it the shall be on. I love you more than I did the day before.
Maybe it seems our love has fallen apart. Let's bring it back to the way that you used to be.
Yeah. No fairy tale. You're listening to Live in the Lair presented by the Aaron Weber group
on Max Encredio across the Civic Media Radio Network. KJ, that was gorgeous.
Oh my gosh, Joe Richter, everybody. He is live in the Lair right now. And you know, we were talking
about your love of the idea of playing B-sides. And this is fun. 2017, you debuted as the lead vocalist.
I didn't I don't think I even knew this of the Darryl Sturmer band. Yeah. You did hits of Genesis
and Phil Collins. Oh yeah. What was that like? That had to be zany. One of the highlights of my
career. It was great. And you know, not a lot of people know that because it was very a very short
period of time because a little after I came into the band Darryl went back on tour with Phil
and he went on that massive stadium tour. And then COVID hit, right? And then I think they
went back on and then and then you know, he hasn't he hasn't been playing since he's been back. So
it was it was incredible. It's something that I'll never ever forget.
But some of the most incredible shows I played and it was just absolute, it's absolutely
incredible and an honor to play with them. Did you have to audition? Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh, I was that. I actually auditioned for Darryl twice years ago. Five before five years
before I got the gig. I auditioned and I don't know. Obviously I didn't get the I didn't get
the job and then years later he was looking again. I heard that he was looking for a singer again
and this time I said, okay, I'm going to do this professional and I did it professional before
but I went all out. I went in the recording studio dropped about a thousand bucks and I said,
okay, we're going to do this the right way. So I just you know, we recorded he sent us a
couple samples and I recorded several several of Genesis songs and sent it to him and then I don't
know how long after it was I got a call from his agent and she said, okay, we got a couple shows
coming up. We just would we'd like you to do these shows but then after you do the shows then
we'll just kind of decide if you'll be with us for the next one for the long haul. Yeah. Yeah.
Is it right to work state? Oh my gosh. Yeah, it was just it was a rush and I'll never forget
that first show that we did together in Watertown. It was an outdoor festival and you know,
all the guys get up on the stage and they you know, they start playing. I can't remember the name
of the first song. I think it made him squawk and so they were playing and I was just kind of in
the backstage waiting to go back on and remember I just posted that about with Steely Danes. My
heart's pounding. You know, I'm ready to get ready to get on stage here with Darryl Sturmer
and I killed it. I knocked it out of the park. I know I did because you know and so and so we
that that was the start of the journey and it was just do you have a favorite Genesis song
that you enjoyed singing? I would say my favorite song that we did was probably your own special
way and that was probably my favorite song to sing. The hardest song to sing was probably
into deep which when you listen to it, you're like, how can that song be hard? But Phil Collins has
just an incredible vocal range. Yes. Yes. It's and it's very I mean, it's it's difficult and so
that was the probably the the toughest song for me to sing but the song that I really loved that
we all did together as a band was something happened on the way to heaven which was the song
that Darryl Cole wrote with Phil and man, that song has so much energy and it's just I really feel like
it was like Pat Beverly coming to the Milwaukee Bucks, you know, it really just ignited the Milwaukee
Bucks because the new Pat Beverly signing, you know what I mean? That's correct. So and something
happened on the way to heaven, it was just ignited the show and I don't know, I brought a lot of
energy when we when we played it and it's just one of those fun songs. When he's talking about
he's just smiling. That's amazing. It is. Yeah. Oh, let's get back to live music. Okay.
With Milwaukee's Joe Richter, presented by the Aaron Weber group, the next song you have for us
tonight, it's called Love Aim for Me. He keeps trying to walk away from the microphone, the question
microphone. I feel you guys think of talking too much. Come on, let's get out with the music.
We want to hear what the story is behind the song. I mean, is this a love song in disguise?
Well, it yeah, I guess. I mean, in a brilliant disguise is a quote from Bruce Pringstein there.
You know, this is a song that I wrote. It's about a friend of mine who was talking to me about,
you know, I'm just done with dating. I'm not dating anymore. And you know, he went into
just, you know, I always end up getting hurt all the time. And I'm just, you know what, I'm just
done with it. That's some reason that that was an idea popped in my head. And this is what came
to that. I love it. Wow, let's hear it. You are listening to Live in the Lair here on Max
Inc. Radio. And here is Joe Richter.
I've been up and down in the game. Love ain't for me.
Love is on the rise. It brings cries and alabies.
And the days go by so fast. And it income's another man. And alone again, I stand. So love ain't for me.
Love is coming gone.
When I feel it coming on.
Better smiles they try to stay. But the love of mine walks away. For me it's another day.
So love ain't for me. No love ain't for me.
Love for you. It's always been kind. Love for me. It's never fine.
So if I try to love, I'd be wasting my days. And love ain't for me. In any way.
No, don't worry. No, no, no, no.
I'm loving it for me. So let it seems, I've been up and down in the game. Any outcome is
always the same when I'm alone on the train. So loving for me, loving for me, loving for me, and loving for me.
No, no.
Wow. That was fantastic. Oh my God. You're listening to Live in the Lair, presented by the
Aaron Weber Group on Maxing Radio across the Civic Media Radio Network. No, that's KJ in there. And
she and I are looking at each other through the songs. And I swear one of us is going to
circle. These are beautiful. Oh my gosh. Okay. Rocker carry on because I'm going to get you a
Kleenex. So this is not your first time on the radio. Tell us about becoming the board operator
at WKLH coming straight out of high school. Wow. Wow. Hey, there we are. Woo-hoo. Handsome Dan.
Here we go. See, it's the tears. It's the tears in the way. I can't see it. I can't see it.
Oh gosh. What was the question? I said, Joe, this is not your first time on the radio.
Tell us about being the board operator at WKLH coming straight out of high school.
It was a pretty neat thing. Well, before I graduated high school, I ended up working at
WKLH in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was working on the, I was working on my radio voice. But
anyhow, yeah, really good. When I was in forensics, the senior year high school, one of the,
yeah, the coach was one of the producers at KLH and I had told him that I'd like to get in a
radio. So he kind of brought me in and I met the program director, which at that time was Bob
Bellini. So I went in the office and Bob and I had a chat and we decided I'd become the intern.
And I would become the board operator, which I think I was hired by the way for like seven
bucks an hour. Oh, yeah. You know, but hey, it was the coolest job. I had the coolest job coming
out of high school. I mean, so I would basically, I was the board operator. Back then we had CDs.
We actually had to put them in the compartment and push, you know, play, right? Now we don't have
to do that anymore. Unfortunately, it's push a button, even though it was pushing them or not,
even push a button, just watch its scroll on the computer screen, right? Automation. But this
was before automation. It was a great gig, man. I loved it. I would just come in and I would,
I was not supposed to go on the air at all. I was just supposed to, you know, I had the,
I had the song list and, you know, I had to specific instructions on what song to play next.
And I just did that. I just kind of ran the show. Usually on the weekends, Saturday,
morning, Sunday mornings, and then later became a board operator at Jammin 1069,
which was before it became 98.3, but Jammin 1069 anyhow, I could go on forever. It's not
going to be time to play all these songs. I'll just go on. No, we do. We keep moving, but we do love them.
I didn't know that either. I'm learning more about you than I ever thought I knew. Okay, so let me
ask you this. You, as we just mentioned, sat in with, as a guest artist with Steely Dane,
and you got to go to his socials because Joe has the best post of him backstage waiting to be
called out. And he's like, oh my gosh, it's just the cutest. It's so real. But that's not really
the question. My question is you actually have a real life job too. And I think when people find out
what you do for real, it's actually pretty incredible. So tell us about that. Yeah, so I'm a respiratory
therapist, help people breathe, say people's lives, try to save people's lives. That's the goal,
right? And I've been doing it for nine years. I decided there's a time in my life where I decided
to well, this music thing, this music grind is getting to be tough, coming home late at night,
working six, seven days a week, sometimes two gigs a day. And you got to make a decision for
yourself, well, is this just what I want to do long term? I mean, I can still do it forever,
but I think I just really, there was a turning point there that I needed to decide to look at other
outlets, look at other, and as an asthmatic my whole life, I decided, well, I know a lot about
breathing and asthma. So maybe let's just try this respiratory thing. So I went back to school,
became a respiratory therapist. And it's just a, it's a tremendous career. I enjoy it. The job
is still in high demand, especially now after COVID. And so I get to do that and I get to, I guess
still get to play music. So it's a, it's a beautiful thing. And that's the early day in gig.
That was great. That's another story. That is so good. I thought you got to do that. Yeah.
Yeah. What's next on the deck? What are you thinking, KJ? Do we have a little bit of time?
We can shuffle some things around. We're supposed to play some commercials, but we
those spots aren't pulled up. We'll come back. We'll come back with the song called Flowered
Skirt. Oh boy. Yes. Okay. Okay. Good segue. Try some local music. This is max
sync radio. We are local music. You're listening to max sync radio on civic media live from the max
sync radio 92.7 WM DX studios in Madison. Max sync is also heard on the Eagle WLC H AM 1490
in lacrosse and on 93.5 the tap WC FW 93.5 FM Max sync radio was sponsored by green delivery
service delivering legal hemp products in Dane County. Find them at green delivery service.
Dot company dot site. This is live in the layer presented by the Aaron Weber group on
Max sync radio across the civic media media radio network. Oh. Sorry. I was still crying.
Let's get right back to live music in the layer with Joe Richter presented by the Aaron Weber
group. Joe, the next song you have for us tonight, it is called Flowered Skirt. I mean,
is this your happiest song? Yeah. Probably. Probably. Probably. Yeah. The sad ones are always the best
ones. But look, this is great. It's a fun song. It kind of takes on a little journey. Flowered
Skirt. And I'll let the rest do the talk. Awesome. Let's hear it. This is Joe Richter. You're
listening to Max sync radio. We are local music.
That got Joe my lover because I just discovered flowering in the skirt when you wear the flower
skirt baby. I just can't contain anybody. It's just so beautiful. My head's going to say hey, yeah,
honey. I was good. That's right on the money. Baby, I'll see you again when you wear the flowers.
Good baby. I just can't contain anybody. It's just so beautiful. My head's going to say hey,
Flowered Skirt. So many skits. They put go in the hand. So far, I was good. They make me understand.
I do anything you please, whatever it takes. Just a slip on the flower skirt. I do anything you say.
Baby hey .
So put away those jeans. And put away those caprisse. So一個 flower skirt. Well, just above your knees,
whatever the unconstraint shall, and it's just fine with me. As long as it isn't long it's fleeting.
And it's money we'll be wearing.
We're more old than anybody. Don't sell the skirt. We'll rekindle our relationship as we can
roll the storm. Physical love is a beautiful thing. All when you're well,
the flower skirt can make me feel like a king living.
Hey, I love you, baby. I love you, I love you, I love you, baby.
Oh, my gosh.
Fantastic. Live in the air presented by the Aaron Weber Group on Max Ink Radio across the Civic Media Radio Network.
Wow, that was the happiest song. That was the happiest song.
I was dancing the whole time. No more tears. No more emotions.
She can she can see now. We got her microphones. There we go.
Play more happy. You probably back.
Yeah, you can't possibly sit still playing that song.
Oh, my gosh. That was to yeah, we were all kind of like whoop.
Okay, we were talking about Steely Dane a little bit earlier. And of course, you know, who doesn't love Dave Adler.
Oh, yeah. And he plays in your band too. So tell us a little bit about your band.
Yeah, the band features incredible musicians from Milwaukee that play in several other bands throughout Milwaukee.
And started playing with the guys probably back in 2012 right after I released that EP Grace.
And I met Kostya. I don't know if you guys know Kostya, but he's just an incredible Russian jolly old man that lives in Milwaukee who's one of the best penis I've ever seen.
You know, aside from Dave, of course, Dave stole you and Dave Stolar, who's incredible. And he's Steely Dane.
But anyhow, and Kostya introduced me to John Wheeler, Al Arbor, and Joel Gorman, which is a couple of guys that I play with as well, or that I played with in the past.
So that's how I met them. And you know, the way it works is you meet one musician who introduces you to another musician. And next thing you know, you know a lot of them.
And you just play with a bunch of them. And you know, and you pick the guys that feel right for the vibe and you go with it.
And I play with these guys for, you know, about 12 years now. And they're good friends of mine. And we just have a blast on stage.
That's awesome. Now this Wednesday, Friday, February 14th is Valentine's Day. And you and the full band are performing a special Valentine's Day performance at the Wakasha Civic Theater, performing your favorite love songs and some originals.
And I'm hoping they're going to be some good beside love songs. Tell us about this show in your cell.
Well, this, this is a gig that I just I'm really excited for. We did something like it last year. But we did it on the weekend. It is on this Wednesday. So unfortunately, it's not on the weekend. But so we were, you know, still hoping we just want people to come out and see us. And you know, we're going to have a lot of stuff on there.
We're going to do some shoday. You know, we're going to do some little Don Henley.
And just stuff like that, you know, George Michael was one of my favorite of all time. But this is the kind of stuff that you can't get get away with doing in the bars.
You're going to, you know, it's like Elton John at the Harley Fest.
You get stuff. You're not going to, you're not going to get away with doing this stuff on a normal, you know, Saturday night, you know.
But this is a special show. You know, we're going to do this and we're going to have fun with it. So can't wait.
So let's get back to live music. And there with Joe Richter presented by the Aaron Weber group, the next song you have for us tonight.
It's called, I can't get over you. Tell us about your dramatic love.
That's what it sounds like.
This is a, this isn't now. This is a true love ballad. If you know, a lot of these songs are love ballads. But this song is probably one of the proudest songs that I've ever wrote.
I don't think I can't exactly remember when I wrote it right before the record came out.
But it's just, it's just a true love song. It's basically somebody who's really just expressing their love for the, for their, for their loved one, who may be.
And it's just real unconditional love. I think this is the kind of the first time that I really felt like I could write a song like this because I truly felt what I felt in that moment.
So bear with me here. This is a love ballad. But it's actually one of my most popular songs. If you were to look up the streaming, streaming numbers.
This is one of the most streamed songs. So.
Well, that's here. It's really exciting. I can't get over you. This is Joe Richter live in the air on Maxing Radio. We are local music.
I can't get over you smile when you're late.
I can't get over what you do when you're done for me.
I can't get over the love we're sharing the way you hold me.
I can't get over you and I'll never get over you.
I love the way you are but when I'm doing so good.
I love the way you are when I'm not treating you the way I should.
I can't get over you and I'll never get over you.
Look around and we hear the sound of the world so down.
The pain that hurt in my fear, what I love drowns it out.
I love the love that I feel for you and I love the way you love me too.
I can't get over you and I'll never get over you.
And I know, oh, no.
Look around and we hear the sound of the world so down.
The pain that hurt in my fear, what I love drowns it out.
I love the love that I feel for you and I love the way you love me too.
I can't get over you and I'll never get over you.
And I know, oh, no.
I love the way you're held and make me one day.
Love your heart and mind and your soul inside it takes my breath away.
I love the good, the bad and the worst we've had.
I'm a tears and the smiles of a happy man and I can't get over you.
I love the good, the bad and the worst we've had.
I'm a tears and the smiles of a happy man and I can't get over you.
I'll never get over you.
A happy love song.
It's happy, it's happy, it's happy, it's happy, but it's happy.
Oh my goodness.
Well, let's get right back in some live music in the layer with Joe Richter presented by the Aaron Weber group.
Next song you're going to play for us tonight.
It's called Grace.
It's the title track premier debut EP.
Tell us about this song quickly before you play.
One of the songs that I co-wrote with a friend of mine, probably about when we were teenagers.
No, probably 19, 18, 19, 20, somewhere in there.
We co-wrote this friend of mine, Jason Zellmer and I.
This was a song when we went to Nashville.
I don't know if we're going to talk about this.
I'm sure you guys got it on your list because it's the most important thing that's ever happened to me.
No, I'm just kidding.
We can never really figure out, no band that I went to Nashville with.
We can never really figure out a band version of this song.
We ended up doing it acoustic when we recorded down in Nashville at the castle recording studios.
We worked on it for hours and hours and hours and this never was just coming to life.
Drew Bolman, who's, by the way, now one of the most popular engineers in Nashville, crazy thing.
But he just said, you know what?
Let's just do it acoustic.
I did acoustic under beautiful grand piano and this is how it sounded.
Alright, let's hear it.
This is Joe Richter, live in the lair.
I'm Maxing Gradyo.
This is called Grace.
We are local music.
I'm here with you to show you that my love is true.
Way up high on the hill is where I see me.
In a place where the love is late, slowly falling in the grace.
To dream of you, it isn't hard to do as you're everywhere that I've ever been.
And I'll see full of rage that our love would be tucked away.
Way up high on the hill is where I see me.
In a place where the love is late, slowly falling in the grace.
But still I don't know how to make you real.
And these things are the way I want to feel.
And I wish I could try to make you mine.
I closed my eyes one last time.
Way up high on the hill is where I see me and you.
In a place where the love is late, slowly falling in the grace.
Way up high on the hill is where I see me and you.
In a place where the love is late, slowly falling in the grace.
Love and you, love and you, trust in you.
It's what I love to do.
