Midnight Eyes
   Words and Music: Sarah Harris, Gary Clute

[Verse 1]
I light up the room with candles
That flicker in the dark
Put on a convincing smile
Try to play the part

[Verse 2]
We both see this for what it is
Fleeting moments in time
The truth we never talk about
Is that, oh, you'll never be mine

[Chorus]
You've only seen me through midnight eyes
Through a mirage vision and candlelight
You've never seen me in real life
You've only seen me through midnight eyes

[Verse 3]
You'll show up with pretty flowers
A bottle of red wine
Both will be gone long before
We meet again next time

[Verse 4]
We make the most of what this is
Secrets behind closed doors
The truth we never talk about
Is that I'll never be yours

[Chorus]
You've only seen me through midnight eyes
Through a mirage vision and candlelight
You've never seen me in real life
You've only seen me through midnight eyes

[Bridge]
We've both agreed that nothing is permanent
Our moments pass quickly when love is limited
This fantasy we have will start to fade
'nd Intrigue disappear if midnight eyes
Saw the break of day

[Outro Chorus]
You've only seen me through midnight eyes
Through a mirage vision and candlelight
You've never seen me in real life
You've only seen me through midnight eyes
You've only seen me through midnight eyes

HASTA FOREVER  

© Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute

He had velvet-brown eyes
That reached into my soul
And his voice could charm birds from the bough
With his guitar slung low on his hip
I knew I could love him, so wanted to love him, 
I knew I would love him somehow.
 

Each evening we’d meet up
when he came off-stage
exhausted but still on a high
That energy claimed us, and carried us higher,
‘til all the emotion ran dry.
 
[PRE]
But Don’t take a chance on a summer romance
‘Cos the loving and losing is real
 
[CHORUS]
   Carita mia, Adios!
   Won’t forget how he set me free
   Hasta Luego ‘n’ Hasta la Vista
   Meant Hasta Forever for me
 
The next time I saw those velvet-brown eyes
Was only from quite far away
‘cos ten thousanD Other Folk Filled the arena
All eager to hear him – and I knew they’d just love him –
All eager to hear him play.
 
[PRE]
So Don’t take a chance on a backstage romance
‘Cos the loving and losing is real
 
[CHORUS]
   Carita mia, Adios!
   Won’t forget how he set me free
   Hasta Luego ‘n’ Hasta la Vista
   Meant Hasta Forever for me
 
(Bridge)
Well maybe the bright lights seduced me
And maybe I should have been wise
How could I resist his passionate kiss
And the spell of those velvet-brown eyes?
 
[Outro]
   Carita mia, Adios!
   Won’t forget how he set me free
   Hasta Luego ‘n’ Hasta la Vista
   Meant Hasta Forever for me

[Instrumental Outro]

I'd like to submit my song "Crayons" ( https://songpressmusic.com/kylecruse88/audio/161/crayons ) for consideration for both of the country pitches you have open. This may be more folk rock than country so no obligation to send it over if it's not the vibe they're looking for. 

This is a very short pitch opportunity due to recording July 25, 2025.  

Magenta Records is looking for songs.  Gary Sadker is the producer.  Looking for upbeat like “Gun Powder and Lead,” Carrie Underwood’s “Before he Cheats” and a ballad like “Home” (Big Production ballad).  

This entry expires July 23rd, 2025.

Submit only your complete songs (not just lyrics) with demos by replying to this entry with the Songpress Music URL or just the name for the song(s) you wish to pitch. SUBMIT NO MORE THAN YOUR TOP THREE SONGS!   

See the Site Blog tab on the home page for submission instructions and song judging criteria.

I will select and submit at least what I deem to be the top 5 entries to the record company.  Please note that once submitted, it's a waiting game. We may or may not hear back from the record company as to their decision.
