Dina’s song (the love’s enough for now)
She woke up fumblin’, lookin’ for another cover, she says her feet are cold
I know I should get up, the pilot light’s out again
But I lay here listenin’ to this December wind
And all she knows is, she sure could use me now
When I was younger I used to dream, I used to wonder, tryin’ to picture this
I never imagined this kind of aching cold
I don’t know how it happened but we’re finally gettin’ old
And all we know is, the love’s enough for now.
I hear her whisperin’ in her sleep---none of it making any sense
Or is it my imagination?
Maybe I almost fell asleep, maybe she never said a word
I thought I had an explanation
The early morning city sounds, through our window, bring me back again
The frost in the air was never quite like this
And closing my eyes as it carries me off in bliss
All I know is, I’ll never lose her now
All I know is

This is a song written and performed here by my brother - Dwight Newman.
The take here is a new take - 2/11. The song was originally written in 1983
and has undergone some changes lyrically over the years. Previously it’s been
called “I Can’t Lose Her Now” and “I’ll Never Lose Her Now”. Here’s a
take of mine - “Dina’s Song (the love’s enough for now)” with a different pace.
I’m not trying to top my brother’s take - since there’s nothing like hearing a song
performed by the author. My take is on my album “The Sandhill Waltz”. Dwight
performs on a few of my songs there too - “The Coyote and the Prairie Dog”,
“Send Her Back to Me” and “The Sandhill Waltz”. He also wrote most of the banjo
instrumental that we co-wrote - “Cascade Creek”, that’s also on the album.
