Lovesong
First First Released: 1995
Platinum Selling Album
This album is a true self indulgence. I wrote each piece for my wife and partner Jacqui.
I think Lovesong features some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever written. It was also a time when I had returned to my original musical passion - playing the guitar - so there is a lot of guitar work throughout the recording. To bring the strong, emotive quality out of each piece, I selected bass flutes, gentle strings and piano.
Whether you use this album to help set a romantic mood - as many listeners have told me they indeed do - or whether you simply enjoy it as a contemporary instrumental CD, I sincerely hope that you sense the honesty and gentleness that was put in to every note.
Tony O’Connor

Sundancing
Watching the close of day on a bronze seashore,
Sharing the beginning of a golden morning,
Dancing with the sun as it crosses the sky
Silhouettes
I’m addicted to your presence.
I need you with me now.
I need the feel of you,
The warmth of you,
The vitality of you.
I am suspended while I linger without you near.
All Of My Life
I want to walk this earth with you and hold you through every change
Through every happiness.
And when our bodies are no longer reflections of how we feel,
I will journey on, embraced in the warmth that is you.
Thoughts of You
You make me smile
You make me think.
Not a day begins that I don’t have a song for you
Or a melody with which to embrace you.
Tenderness
Gently, oh so gently
Like raindrops coming together
On a sparkling leaf
Your thoughts and mine combine.
Captured Moments
Memories and images star clear in my thoughts
I remember so many special times,
So many magic minutes together,
That were the small beginnings of so much more.
Reaching Out
When I’m alone and wantering I can feel you there.
A simple breath away
I say your name and you are with me
Sharing my happiness and laughter.
Whispering (A Lovesong)
Softly, secretly, we share quiet moments.
My words are meant only for you.
My thoughts are for your heart alone to embrace.
