Blue Holiday
john gilliam and ande rasmussen

(Verse 1)
a tropical sea
and five lazy days
a cool island breeze,
and baby I'm sailing away
I'm just missing you
on a blue
holiday

(Verse 2)
Gardenia perfume
blows through my sails
out on an open ocean
the blossoms fade to pale
under the moon
on a blue
holiday

(Refrain)
But every time I think of you
I sink into a deeper blue
the blue of your beautiful eyes
as twilite turns to starry skies
you're alone at home and I'm
lonely in paradise

(Verse 3)
I order our drinks
and toss you a grin
you catch with a wink
and you whisper kiss me again
but its just fantasy
on a blue
holiday

(repeat Refrain)

(Verse 4)
I stare at the waves
and stroll down the beach
I'd hold you close
but baby you're so far out of reach
of my solitude
on a blue
holiday

Very sultry and glides along so sweetly. Wow can Halie ever sing a song. She had me spell-bound from her first note to the end. I think I'm in love. This is top-notch.. And I ever so much enjoyed the listen. Awesome keyboard and splendid arrangement. Doug

Durn, that's good! It's not very country but it's good and add a fiddle and you'll be there. ;)

Very nice. The vocal is quite good but there are a few spots as a producer I would have gone for another pass but that's just me. It is not bad by any means. It could be GREAT with some serious nit picking. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Very cool and jazzy like tune. you said in class that Halie had a great voice...man you weren't kidding. The way she makes her voice crack up on certain notes...just love it, gives me chills. I'm going to check out her website.

Just got here by way of JP. Looks like nothing coming in for a while. This song is great and doesnt need my cheers but consider me one of the cheerleaders. Halie has a blues voice that wont quit. I hope to find more songs with her on it. Thanks Ande for some fine work....
