Northern Summer
I made a YouTube video, but I'm not great at videos, so I've provided links to my website and SoundCloud where you can just listen, if you prefer. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

NORTHERN SUMMER
(Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair)
V1
The night when we ran naked into the sea
In the lingering light of a northern summer God made just for you and for me
We lay on a rock, and I watched you breathing
As the water ran down in little streams
Over your shivering skin and into my dreams
CHORUS
I remember how it was
Just kids and just because
We were in love, I was in awe
Of how beautiful you were
MUSICAL BREAK
BRIDGE
There was music in the waves that night
A song of lives just begun
Skin to skin, breathe out, breathe in
In the last warm rays of the sun
V2
Now here I stand, with the waves kissing the sand
In the dying light of that long-ago summer
I reach out and touch your hand
I close my eyes, and I feel you breathing
Where the water ran down in little streams
Over your shivering skin and into my dreams
CHORUS
Do you remember how it was?
Just kids and just because
We were in love, I was in awe
Of how beautiful you were

Beautiful lyrics and video. The lyrics are well written. I agree with Sid, watch the video.
My favorite lines:
"There was music in the waves that night"
"Now here I stand, with the waves kissing the sand"

That's very sweet, without being overdone. Lovely song.
I found myself singing: Of how beautiful, beautiful, you were so you might try that for size.
Thoroughly enjoyed my listen!

@sidshovel Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. You've encouraged me to keep working on it ☺️
@TammyB Thanks for listening, Tammy. There is something special about those long Scottish summer evenings. I grew up on the beach with a view over the sea to the Isle of Arran. Those magical sunsets have stayed with me.
@ElvisNash Thanks to you too, Elvis. I think the production needs a bit more work before contemplating anything like that.
@RainyDayMan I'll try singing it like that and see if it feels right. Thanks for the suggestion>
