This medley holds arrangements of these three songs: You Are My Wings, I’ve Always Cared & Just A Tune.
The links to stories about my songs include recordings with vocals.
I composed this song when I was 20, shortly before I got married. I’ve created many different arrangements of it, but this one from 2015 is my favorite. The lyrics describe how I’m flying with my companion to the heavens.
YOU ARE MY WINGS – Copyright 2016 by Judy Unger
I never wanted to fly alone, but you’ve sent me soaring
upon a love, I have never known
I’ll love you in air; when we’re down to earth
Our lives we will share
Today we’re flying to the sun
You are my wings, my companion
Above the earth we are like one in the heavens
We’re sailing those pink clouds in the sky
Reflected rainbow in your eye
You know how I love to fly
Way up above, I’m in love
yes, I’m in love
I never dreamed it’d happen to me, but I know that
we can’t fly this high for eternity
If we shed out wings, we’ll walk together
and face what our future brings
Today we’re flying to the sun
You are my wings, my companion
Above the earth we are like one in the heavens
We’re sailing those pink clouds in the sky
Reflected rainbow in your eye
You know how I love to fly
Way up above, I’m in love
The world is ours
we’re touching all the stars
My heart’s taken flight
Love glows through the night
Now we’re flying to the sun
You are my wings, my companion
Above the earth we are like one
In the heavens
We’re sailing those pink clouds in the sky
Reflected rainbow in your eye
You know how I love to fly, way up above
You know I always wanted to fly
Way up above, I’m in love

This song was written when I was 19. Even though it was initially about reuniting with someone I had loved before, I found another meaning as an adult woman. I reunited with the music I had left behind for over 30 years.
I’VE ALWAYS CARED – Copyright 2016 by Judy Unger
It’s unbelievable
Has it really been that long?
For years we were strangers
But I knew all along
I’ve always cared and I always will
Never felt that way until
I passed through my life without you
I’ve always felt and I’ll always feel
Now I know it is for real
And this time, and this time
I want to be with you, with you
We’re back together
I wonder what lies ahead
The past is behind us
There’s so much left unsaid
I’ve always cared and I always will
Never felt that way until
I passed through my life without you
I’ve always felt and I’ll always feel
Now I know it is for real
And this time, and this time
I want to be with you, with you
I dreamed of you
the life we once shared
You weren’t gone, ‘cause I still cared
Now I want to be with you, with you
I loved you still
though we were apart
No one else could know
The way you touched my heart
I’ve always cared and I always will
Never felt that way until
I passed through my life without you
I’ve always felt and I’ll always feel
Now I know it is for real
This time, and this time
I want to be with you, with you
with you

This song was dedicated to my best friend, Cheryl. Written when I was 20, it is especially moving for me because Cheryl died of breast cancer over a decade ago. I still miss her very much.
JUST A TUNE – Copyright 2016 by Judy Unger
Just a tune to tell you, you’ve been on my mind
I’m so thankful for our love
You’re someone I never dreamed I’d find
You’ve shown me how to care
I’m blessed because you were always there
But with everything you have given me
The greatest gift was that moment when
I could feel love again
Just a tune to tell you, how much you’ve done for me
Don’t know how I lived without you
Before we met I was so empty
You’ve helped my heart mend
From you I’ve learned to be my own best friend
But with everything you have given me
The greatest gift was that moment when
I could feel love again
For such a long time I felt alone
You came along,
filled me with song
and love I’d never known
Just a tune to tell you, love made my life new
My broken heart has healed
It began from the moment I met you
You’ve shown me how to care
and what it means to be my own best friend
But with everything you have given me
The greatest gift was that moment when
I could feel love; I could feel again
Now I can feel love again
