This is an anthem of heartfelt gratitude. It is my love song to you...the fan, the listener, the stranger... and the friends who have supported my music, attended my shows and ever offered a warm word or simple smile.
I make music, for myself in the sense that it is like breathing, I need it to survive, expressing my thoughts and emotions is the greatest blessing I've had, but I make music for YOU. You who will hopefully be touched, moved or inspired. Nothing gives me greater joy than knowing it has made a differance, however small in your life.
THANK YOU for all you've done, for reading these words, for purchasing this song (or others) but above all thank you for WHO YOU ARE...without you, there would be no one to receive, to hear and to give a "home" to my most important offering...
This is truly a SONG FOR YOU, sincerely, Leila

lyrics
I was the girl...
who tinkered on her toy piano, listening
remembering the angels whispered
you’ll go on and sing but when you get there you’ll
forget what you always knew
I was the girl...
one foot in her heart, the other in her head
alone on playgrounds singing to imaginary friends
what was I here to do
maybe to sing for you?
(chorus)
This is a Song For You
to those who sit and listen to my thoughts
and me carrying on
this is a song for you, though you might think
you’re simply sitting there
you’re unaware, your presence gives me space
you give me room to soar
you lead me to the gates of dreams I held long before
I’ve been waiting...
I’ve waited for you
(verse)
I am the girl...
beautiful at times at others what a mess
serving up my soul through song
and this is me undressed
so much more than a song
a moment where joy grows strong
(repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
there are times I’d give in
when I’d wonder what’s the use in trying
oh but I know...that each time I step in front you
it’s a blessing, a gift that keeps on giving
as you lift my heart for just another day
(repeat chorus)
