David Phelps, songwriter. The man has a way with words. And melodies. "A shooting star tumbles down, Its flame cannot endure. A scarlet rose withers brown To lose its fragrant lure. The moon illuminates the night To vanish at the dawn. Oh, but love, love goes on. Fortunes fail and disappear, Like castles in the sand. Power spoils and causes fear, But yields to stronger hands. Fame lasts for a moment, Then, in a moment, it is gone. Oh, but love, love goes on. Beauty fades, and passion wanes, And faces show their years. Death steals a lover's touch away, But time dries up the tears. Tunes are soon forgotten, And singers lose their song, But love goes on. A baby Boy, a starlit night, Kings on bended knee. Healing hands giving sight, Then tortured on a tree. A woman sings, rejoicing, 'He is risen, He is gone!' Because love, love goes on. Oh, love goes on."
It is so easy to stop at being completely blown away with David and his singing, because it truly is beyond wonderful. However, I think we often short change him in recognizing his brilliance at writing and arranging! He is absolutely phenomenal in those areas as well and by the way, the piano, well, that's just another extraordinary David talent! Blessings, Sherry
Schoene Tante has kindly posted the lyrics to this song here. Oh so moving....What a talented amazing man David is. Just beautiful seeing him playing and singing with all his heart. Thanks Lyle this is one of my favs.
David's piano skills are wonderful. He jokes about not wanting or liking to practice when he was a kid but his mom made him. Thank goodness Mrs. Phelps persevered. He is probably glad she did too. I love to watch and listen to him play the piano.
Hey Brother Patrol gaming. Always good to see you. Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. David Phelps is and will always be my favorite singer of all time. God gave him a gift and the honors god with it. And David always sings a story better than anyone and it always moves me. Love you brother. See you soon StayWell
Lyle - love your reactions... as you've seen from the other comments, this is one from the list of 30 I sent you last week that he wrote/co-wrote. This one is from his days on his own between 2004-2009 when he rejoined the GVB with Mark & Michael. FYI-Wes actually replaced him when he left in 2004 & stayed to make the first GVB with 5 instead of 4 members.

"A shooting star tumbles down,

Oh, but love, love goes on.
Fortunes fail and disappear,
Like castles in the sand.
Power spoils and causes fear,
But yields to stronger hands.

Then, in a moment, it is gone.
Oh, but love, love goes on.
Beauty fades, and passion wanes,
And faces show their years.

And singers lose their song,
But love goes on.
A baby Boy, a starlit night,

Because love, love goes on.
Oh, love goes on."
