This is a cover 3 years in the making. My Dearest is a song that means a ton to me and covering it has been a huge challenge but also so incredibly rewarding. I did a guitar cover of this song back in 2017 and put in the most work I'd put into a cover since starting my channel, and was really proud of my work at the time, but always wished that it could be a vocal cover to bring the lyrics I wrote to life. I started re-mixing and re-arranging my old cover to turn it into an instrumental ready for vocals last year and was determined to make this track my best mix ever. Fast-forward to this year and I finally felt like I was able to bring it up the standard of quality I wanted, and I decided to ask fome to sing on it, who graciously agreed. His vocals absolutely gave this song new life and I am incredibly happy I was able to work with him as I've been a fan of his band, Phoenix Ash, since 2015! I absolutely love how this remake cover turned out and I hope you all love it as much as I do. Thank you for watching and make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and ring that bell so you can be notified when I upload new videos!

Intro:
So everything that makes me whole, I’ll give you all my heart, my life, my soul
I’m yours
Verse 1:
I’ve never had this much joy in my whole life
Sometimes I can’t believe this is happening
To me
After all the pain and strife
That I’ve
Endured
I remember when I was still suffering
Walking all alone down this winding road
But it was all to reach this day
Pre-chorus:
And now with your hand in mine we can soar and reach the brightest stars
There’s nothing in this universe that can bring us back down to Earth from this far
“You’ll never be alone now”
You promise me as we drift away
Chorus:
When you have something dear to you, something only you can protect
But still you stand frozen in fear, afraid that you might fail your quest
Or when all of your hope seems lost, and darkness will not take a rest
Despair finds you alone and tired, and you’re about to be possessed
I will be the light of dawn, that pierces through your darkest night
The shadows of this world are strong but they will never drown me out
So everything that makes me whole, I’ll give you all my heart, my life, my soul
I’m yours
Verse 2:
There are so many kinds of happiness here
Some I didn’t even dream of before
But now I can find them all with you
Chorus 2:
Even if the words you say are twisted into vulgar lies
And people who are dear to you insult you and deny your cries
Even if the world torments you, and everyone averts their eyes
And even if their crown of thorns begins to make you doubt your worth
I will stay right by your side, you’ll never have to be alone
Because I understand your pain, and it’s the worst thing I have known
So everything that makes me whole
I’ll give you all my heart, my life, my soul
I’m yours
Bridge:
If you feel like you know where I am, I guarantee you will find me
I’ll always be there waiting for you, you just have to come and see
Even if there’s no hope for me, and you feel like you’re at the end
Even after I’ve breathed my last, and you feel like you’ll never mend
Last Chorus:
I know that after this world ends, and all mankind has had its test
My memory will stay with you even beyond the time of final rest
So I will dedicate my heart, my life, my soul, my everything, to you
My Dearest
