Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A tribute to an exceptionally caring woman becomes a mariner's story of danger, shipwreck and rescue. Her compassion is imagined as a song powerful enough to calm a storm and bring the travelers into harbor. The narrator's gratitude connects everyday kindness with the feeling of having been brought back from the edge.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
SHE CARES TOO MUCH She Cares Too Much, She Cares Too Much She's always helping someone or another She gives you her hand with a sweet loving touch She knows in her heart we should all be lovers She sang in a choir when she was a child The sun in her eyes and her hair blowing Wild Enraptured as Rainbows appear in the Sky She has tears in her eyes, and I think I know why Heaven sent her here to reach out her hand One fallen Angel from The Promised Land I don't think anyone can understand What makes a woman and what makes a Man There is a river between you and I A current forever, a tear in your eye A silver winged messenger from up in the sky Let me just sing you a new lullaby CHORUS She cares more than anyone I've ever known She prays for the lost ones to find their way home We are together even when we're alone Even when my heart was cold as a stone Somewhere out there at the edge of the Bay I left something secret there, hidden away The things I would need for my last getaway I knew we were coming to the end of our days I once had it all, then it all blew away Thunder and lightning, the wind and the rain Exciting and frightening all at the same time In the chill of the night, we crossed over the line Does the will of the wisp still shine through the trees Where the evergreen forest is right by the sea Mischief and Evil from Pandora's box We were driven ashore and shipwrecked on the rocks We set up a beacon and shot off a flare A fireball streaking right up in the air Waves on the water, you'd better beware Oh my lord, please, let somebody be there Taking on water, we start to go under Seeking some shelter for me and my lover A moment of calm in the eye of the storm Sailor beware, and widow be warned I knew in a minute, we’d lose everything That's when my siren just started to sing The wind and the waves subsided somehow We found ourselves saved in a Mariner's town Last thing I remember, we’re up on the shoreline Our ship wouldn't make it till morning I pray that we just have a little more time That our souls are all saved by the warning The moon in the skies, our ship started to rise The wind and the rain began to subside We had survived where others had died The Will o’ the Wisp was gone with the tide We both caught a glimpse of the other side Our ship was a wreck but our flags were still flying By the end of the night, there would be no denying That we’d carved our names on the belt of Orion We came into harbor to make our repairs Red Sky at morning, so sailors beware She was a vision with long golden hair An angel from heaven who honestly cares CHORUS She cares more than anyone I've ever known She prays for the lost ones to find their way home We are together even when we're alone Even when my heart was cold as a stone She cares too much, she cares too much Feel me and heal me with your sweet gentle touch If this is the real me, I can't thank you enough I love you, my darling, because You Care Too Much *********
