All My Shields Were Down 2024

All My Shields Were Down is a love song to my sweet wife Diane. How I lost my heart a cold December in 1996 in Montréal.

I wrote this song in October 2011 where I had just started learning how to play music. This new version uses the original recording of my voice, but all instruments have been upgraded here in 2024 and I also added some background voices as well (Synth V)

Lyrics

All My Shields Were Down (Kenneth Lavrsen, 2011)

You took my by surprise
That early winter day
Saw through my disguise
Saw through me all the way
You smiled and touched my face
Put your fingers in my hair
I felt your embrace
I felt your love and care

Love, and all my shields were down
You, the sweetest girl in town

Went out and watched the starts
That freezing winter night
Saw Venus and Mars
And everything felt right
I was looking at your face
As the Moon began to rise
Lost my time of time and space
Moon reflections in your eyes

Love, and all my shields were down
You, the sweetest girl in town
Love, and all my shields were down

Love, and all my shields were down
And you, the sweetest girl in town
My love, and all my shields were down
And you, the sweetest girl in town
In town
