Valentine From the Heart

Thirty-three years ago, on Valentine's Day, Craig gave me a little promise ring and asked me to be his girlfriend. We were teenagers and madly in love. So far, it seems to have worked out pretty well.

We're spending Valentine's Day doing what we love to do: Hanging out at home, playing music, cooking, sipping a little bubbly and enjoying lazy Sunday.

"Your Tears on My Shoulder" is a love song I wrote a couple of years ago - it will be on our next CD.





Your Tears on my Shoulder
words and music © Erin Coombs Friedman

The shadow of a doubt clouds your face
Leaves a chill that’s growin’ colder
Lay your sorrow in my hands and place
Your Tears on my Shoulder


Your Tears on my Shoulder
Blessed burden – oh, my love
Your Tears on my Shoulder
My thirsty heart will drink them up
Drink them up

Like holy water anoints the sinner
I’m sanctified by holding you
Desert rose only blooms in winter
If December storms roll through

Your Tears on my Shoulder
Blessed burden – oh, my love
Your Tears on my Shoulder
My thirsty heart will drink them up
Drink them up

Like canyons of stone and crystal caves
Beauty is born where waters rage

Your Tears on my Shoulder
Blessed burden – oh, my love
Your Tears on my Shoulder
My thirsty heart will drink them up
Drink them up
