As always tgank you and feel free to use it as you please

I think this is the best one you've done for me. Feel free to post it for feedback. Thanks!

Enjoyed Da Listen Guys.(;LOVE IT;)

I agree with Carroll. This is one of your best, Guy. You are always so generous with putting music to others' lyrics, and this one fits like a glove. There's some awkward vocal phrasing which you could go back and correct, but I enjoyed it. Great lyric too.
