And... in the end everything counts (Live On Stage)
Stripped down song with Strumming acoustic guitars in chord mode, expressive piano riffs in the background, sad but reflective mood inspired female vocalist, subtle atmospheric textures in a movie trailer style. Subtle percussion (congas, shakers, bongos), beach sunset atmosphere live on stage...

Verse 1
Remember that summer
(long, long time ago)
When we planted the trees
(you can smell the pure ground)
our hands in the dirt
(what a magic spell)
our garden of dreams ...expands...
Chorus - with reflecting joy
And ... in the end everything counts
Every kiss, every fight
All the ways we learned... to love ...
and we don't forget the tears ...
Post-chorus
Time keeps turning (wheels don't stop)
We keep learning ... (learning)
sometimes ... the hard way
Verse 2
Forty years and more... gone...
Still reach for your hand
Through seasons of grace
And storms we withstand...
Chorus - with thankful joy and grace
And ... in the end everything counts
Every kiss, every fight
In all the ways... we learned to love ...
and we don't forget the tears ...
Post-chorus - Everybody sings
Time keeps turning (wheels don't stop)
We keep learning ... (learning)
sometimes ... the hard way...
Bridge - wise reflecting voices
The trees have grown tall
Our children are scattered like leaves...
But still... here in this room
I remember ... what I believe...
Electric guitar solo
Outro - Chorus
And in the end... everything counts
Every kiss, every fight
All the ways... we learned to love
In the fading light
Everything counts
In the fading light
Mmm-hmm-hmm
Outro - spoken
Time keeps turning (wheels don't stop)
We keep learning ... (learning)
sometimes ... the hard way ... (but that's fair ...)
End - with noise and applause
